DALLAS (KRLD) -- Looking for something to do this weekend in the Dallas-Fort Worth area? KRLD's Tasha Stevens has some ideas for you!
-- Now this is how you kick off your fall season, with fishnet stockings, water guns and freakiness. Be at the Wyly Theater Thursday night for Dallas Theater Center's The Rocky Horror Show.
-- "Cool Thursdays" at the Dallas Arboretum will feature the Bon Jovi Experience of Blaze of Glory. You can snack on tasty treats from local food trucks, and take part in the weekly costume contest that has a grand prize of an overnight stay for two at the Renaissance Hotel Dallas/Richardson.
-- Tickets for A Night with Chrissie Hynde will go on sale Friday morning at 10 a.m. Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders will perform at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, November 18 at the Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House in the Dallas Arts District as part of her 25-date North American Tour.
-- This deal sounds cool as all get out. It is described as "What the past would look like if the future had happened sooner." This weekend, Heritage Village will host Steampunk Invasion, the first Dallas Steampunk convention set on a 20 acre site of historic buildings and featuring three days of entertainment, crafts, vendors, and whimsy. Basically, you will feel like you've stepped back in time 100 years.
-- This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Toadies platinum album Rubberneck. Friday night at Panther Island Pavilion, the guys will play the entire album, beginning to end. This is actually the last time the band performs Rubberneck.
