Tasha's To Do List: January 15-18
KRLD -- North Texas will be warming up this weekend, which means it's time to explore what's happening across the metroplex. KRLD's Tasha Stevens has some ideas!
-- Check out the Dallas Arboretum during the month of January at a discounted price, which means more money to buy warm comfort food. We are talking $5 admission through Jan. 31.
-- January means Ft. Worth Stock Show & Rodeo time in north Texas. Friday through Feb. 7, you can take in all things Texas cowboy. This weekend, you can see The Premier Texas Longhorn Sale, a 4-H and FFA Goat Judging Contest, a Celebrity Goat Milking Contest followed by Goat Creative Costume Contest and the Best of the West Invitational Ranch Rodeo.
-- It has been cold in north Texas, which is perfect for our Penguin buddies at the Dallas Zoo. In celebration of all that chilly, check out Penguin Days throughout the months of January and February at the Dallas Zoo -- which means just a $5 admission price.
If you would love to work at the zoo, be sure to attend their job fair Friday and Saturday.
-- If you are a Michael Jackson fan, be at the House of Blues Saturday night for Who's Bad: The Ultimate Michael Jackson Tribute Band.
-- It was a smash on Broadway and it is now in Fort Worth. Check out Disney's Beauty and the Beast at Bass Performance Hall.
-- I'll never forget the conniption fit my junior high teachers had at a school dance back in the day when Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" came on. I've never heard a record ripped off a turntable so fast. No worries. No records will be involved Friday night at House of Blues as Pink Floyd tribute Bricks in the Wall take the stage.
-- They call the dude the tone ranger because his sound is so awesome. Check out guitar god Eric Johnson and Mike Stern at the Granada this Saturday night.
-- I always thought of nature artist John James Audubon as a painter of birds, but it turns out that he painted lots of other stuff, too. Mice, squirrels, otters, and wild cats are just some of the stars of an Amon Carter Museum exhibit featuring Audubon's non-bird work. Check it out Friday through August 2.
-- I thought I was Wonder Woman as a kid, so I can see people getting stoked over the idea of spending the day in a world of super heroes. Head over to Fair Park Friday through Feb. 1, and join forces with Marvel's mightiest heroes on a mission to save the planet. Along the way, you'll experience the world's only 360-degree, 3D stereoscopic theater and a state-of-the-art 4D motion ride.
-- These dudes know how to party! They are from Vegas after all -- that is Las Vegas, New Jersey. If you don't mind fuzzy chests, gold lamé shirts and dance tunes from the 70's, 80's and 90's, you'll like these guys. Check out the Vegas Stars Thursday at Gas Monkey Bar and Grill.
-- This guy is probably best known as the front guy for the Murderdolls. Now, Joseph Poole is doing shows as Wednesday 13 and you can see him and his band Thursday at Trees.
-- Friday night, you can see a couple of guys who dominated both Top 40 radio in the 1970's and country radio after that. Check out the Bellamy Brothers at Arlington Music Hall.
-- Here is another chance to dig on some cool country tunes. Retro Live night Sunday night at the Eisemann Center features Travis Tritt.
-- If you are a dog lover, Thursday you need to be in front of the TV. The World Dog Awards on the CW will have a bunch of categories including Top TV Dog, Most Dog Like Cat, Happiest Reunion, and my fave -- Talking Dog.
-- Not to leave the kitties out, the 4th Annual Meow Mixer with Operation Kindness is coming up this Tuesday, Jan. 20 at The Londoner in Addison. Proceeds go to the daily operation of Operation Kindness, the largest no kill shelter in north Texas.
-- Attention all Star Wars fans! This Saturday, Jan. 17, there is a Star Wars Autograph Event from 12 to 4 p.m. at Madness Comics & Games. You'll have a chance to chat and get an autograph and photo with Chewbacca himself -- Peter Mayhew -- along with Ewok Warrior. They will also be signing the new Star Wars comic for FREE!
-- If you love STYX and you have missed seeing the original lead singer with the band, Friday night is your night. See Dennis DeYoung and the music of STYX at the Eisemann Center.
