Danni & Kris are more than just Fleetwood Mac-y singer-songwriters. Wednesday As Prism, they’re electro dance artists, too. But for the duo’s 7pm gig at BoomerJack’s Grill & Bar (6701 Fossil Bluff Dr, 817-232-9627), they will be good ol’ Danni & Kris. Specials include $2 domestic beers, $3 house wine, and $6 boneless wings (1/2 lb).

At 8:15pm Thu-Sun thru Sep 27, see the Prism Movement Theatre Thursday production of Everything Will Be Fine. Presented by Stage West, this show will be a drive-in experience. As the heroine of our story learns to deal with a new world, so will we. When you arrive at 1205 Wesleyan St, remain in your car while the performance takes place in the parking lot right in front of you with instructions and musical accompaniment coming over your radio on station 101.3-AM. Tickets are $40 per vehicle at StageWest.SecureForce. com/Ticket. Call 817-784-9378.

Brave Combo was the first band ever to grace the stage of Levitt Friday Pavilion (100 W Abram St, Arlington, 817-543-4308) when it opened in 2008. It’s fitting that the Texasbased group is back to lend a hand for
this installment of Levitt’s Living Room Series. Sometimes classified as polka, the Denton quintet plays it all. World Music is a more accurate label if you have to give them one, but their groove-infused songs cross every line. They were the band at David Byrne’s wedding. Nuff said. This is a free virtual event, but donations are appreciated. At 8pm, go to Facebook.com/ LevittPavilionArlington.

Are you looking for some end-of-summer fun? Want to have your family tested Saturday for COVID-19? You can do both at NRH20 Family Waterpark (9001 Blvd 26, NRH, 817-427-6500). From 8am to 2pm this Sat and the two following, you can have a self-administered mouth-swab test in the NRH20 parking lot, which now doubles as a COVID-19 testing site. For the free testing, book an appointment online at Texas.CurativeInc.com. Waterpark admission? You are on your own.

Fat Daddy’s Sports & Spirits (781 W Debbie Ln, 817-453-0188) was Sunday recently approved for a food and beverage license from TABC and have reopened. Along with their tributefocused live shows that started back this week, Fat Daddy’s is kicking things off big this weekend with a car show. At 6pm,
America Gardens (2833 Morton St, 817-4399660) has a Backyard Monday Brunch every Sat and Sun from 11am to 4pm. The brand-new all-American menu includes the Big Tex Breakfast, biscuit sandwiches, breakfast shots, mimosa towers, and waffles. In celebration of Labor Day, brunch is on for Mon, too.

At 7pm, join a Virtual Conversation at Winspear Opera House with Jenna Tuesday Bush Hager, daughter of President George W. Bush and current Today Show co-host, about her No. 1 New York Times bestselling book Everything Beautiful in its Time.

While Coyote Drive-In Theater has been with us all along and Alamo Drafthouse has recently re-opened, Cinemark Alliance Town Center (9228 Sage Meadow Tr, 817750-0560) has an even better idea. Why not have your own personal watch party? For $99-175 (prices vary based on the exact movie and location), your screening will include up to 20 guests in a private auditorium. Choose from classic movies and new releases. Concession items are discounted for your party. A large popcorn is $5, a large fountain drink or ICEE is $3.50, and candy is $2.50. Book online at Cinemark.com/Private-Watch-Party.

Vote-by-Mail Townhall
There are so many questions about vote-by-mail right now. Tarrant County Elections Office would like to help answer them. From obtaining the application to what to do with it, Heider Garcia, elections administrator for Tarrant County, will teach you all about it at Vote-by-Mail Townhall Meeting at 6pm Wed on Zoom. Garcia will also address the need for election workers this November. The townhall is free to attend. Information on how to preregister and submit questions are at Facebook.com/ TarrantDemocraticParty. As for the art attached to this story, “This Machine Kills Fascists” was the slogan that folk/protest singer Woodie Guthrie famously painted on his guitar. His place in the history of the protest movement is honored to this day at the Woodie Guthrie Center in his hometown of Tulsa. Guthrie once wrote a song called “Mail Myself to You,” so he would be especially hip to this new pro-USPS take on the old slogan. The center has partnered with the original artist behind this viral image, Mike Shine, so you can buy a T-shirt emblazoned with the image while supporting the museum at the same time for $25 at WoodyGuthrieCenterStore.
