Here is the posting from today’s blast:

Weekend Calendar

Twilight of the Golds
Opens Friday, September 28
If your parents knew everything about you before you were born, would you be here? Uptown Players lend their award-winning talents to this tear-jerker about what might happen if genetic testing can predict the sexual orientation of an unborn child.
KD Studio Theatre, Tickets $22-25

Ten Tenors
Saturday, September 29
Ten gorgeous voices singing as one. If the 1-in-10 rule holds true, the man of our dreams may be singing sweetly to us!

Lone Star AIDS Ride
Saturday & Sunday, Sept 29-30
Break out your “Biker short butts drive me nuts” t-shirt and cheer on hundreds of Spandex-clad hotties as they ride off into the sunset, all in support of North Texas AIDS charities.

Southwest Invitation DanceSport Championships
Friday – Sunday, Sept 28-30
Can’t get enough “Dancing with the Stars?” Neither can we. We’re absolutely giddy for the fabulously tacky Britney-on-a-bad-day frocks and grinded-teeth permasmiles…and the skin-tight pants and pelvic gyrations are enough to make us swoon!

Calling all queens, the king is here. If you missed gay pride, you can still get tickets to see this pride of lions and other Tony-award winning beasties as they strut their stuff at the Music Hall at Fair Park.

Bill Cosby @ Bass Hall

Paging Dr. Huxtable, we have a fashion fatality – someone is wearing one of your 80’s Christmas sweaters. Everybody’s favorite sitcom father figure comes to Fort Worth for a one-night gig. Sorry, Jell-O pudding pops not included in ticket price.

2006 Will Eisner Spirit of Retailing Award winner and home to the best darned Free Comic Book Day event this side of the planet Krypton Zeus Comics has some cool stuff happening over the next several days.

Their summer sidewalk sale continues this weekend featuring lots and lots of funny books at bargain bin prices.  But on top of that, you can download the coupon from their website to enjoy a whopping 20% discount on their entire stock of graphic novels and manga!

Webcomic Starslip Crisis creator Kristofer Straub will be on site Wednesday, August 22nd from 5-7 pm.  I guess you can take your computer for him to autograph.  Or perhaps pick up a copy of his new book.

Later on you can join the gang that same evening over at Ciudad for Zeus’ All Mixer.  It’ll be the last one at Ciudad as, according to the Zeus newsletter, the restaurant is closing shop.  The mixer starts at 8 o’clock Wednesday night.
