Tonight at Texas Theatre, catch a premiere screening of the controversial Ministry documentary Fix, which chronicles the life and times of the seminal '90s industrial group. Perhaps there's some footage from their heady mid-'90s days in Texas (and maybe that was part of Al Jourgensen's lawsuit).

Afterwards, stick around for You Know What You Are, an evening of music feature dark princes/DJs Keith P and Anthony Stanford. Free.

12 Inch Pimps' Willie Trimmer on the 1s and 2s. For more, check our slideshow.

​Throughout each week, droves of Dallasites enjoy the plethora of clubs, lounges, bars and restaurants that our city has to offer.

It seems simple enough, no? Call up your friends, choose a spot, get dressed up and commence an evening of drunken memories accompanied by elaborate lighting systems and good music.

But most partygoers aren't aware that there is a well-oiled machine behind the nightlife that brings you so much joy. There is, in fact -- and the task of consistently enticing droves of people to come out and spend money is an art form.

So we set out to prove as much, meeting up with the people behind this scene.

For more panda, check out the Lek's slide show.

​A little of this, and a little of that from this weekend. Or, more pertinently: A little panda dance and a little Armenia. It was an interesting Friday night in Deep Ellum on February 11: The Boiler Room featured Alexi Delano and a heck-of-a-lot of mushy clown noses. Also? A giant panda dancing with a ready-for-it-not-to-be-cold-anymore crowd. Check out the Lek Brothers slide show for more glorious shots of pandas dancing and clown noses.

We also have photos from Armenia. That's right, we said Armenia. While we were embroiled in the Super Bowl, our contributing photographer Danny Fulgencio was roving the nightlife 6,800 miles away. He brings back a night moves slide show, or really, more of a photo essay of the goings-on in Armenia. See the full round of those wonderful shots in his slide show: Welcome to Armenia.

Marlon Wayans (second from right) brought the mother-of-all scarves.

​Giant scarves were necessary for the Wayans Brothers last night, who faired the snowy streets of Dallas in their limo to check out Skye Bar.

The snow might have weeded out most folks, but Shawn and Marlon Wayans -- stars of film gems like White Chicks and Little Man -- and TCU alum LaDainian Tomlinson made it out just fine.

Surely, we owe our photographers a pizza party (or some kind of "money") for finding their way downtown in the snowy cold. In this case, the credit goes to Roderick Pullum, who attended this event. And he sent along some pics from the night with the Wayans. Check 'em out after the jump, and stay warm.

Zouk is French for "Celebration," which Diddy is clearing doing.

​A couple of weeks ago on Unfair Park, Robert mentioned that the former Starck Club was set to reopen as Zouk. (It has a Facebook page and everything!)

Sure enough, this weekend marked Zouk's Grand Opening with -- as you can see from the above photo -- Diddy and his celebrity pals! Looks like he was having a helluva time. Check some more shots from the night after the jump, then head on over to our slideshow section to see more of the opening night festivities.

It was smokin' at Aura. Get it? Sorry. Check out more in the slideshow.

​Some of you saved the relaxing and movie-watching for Thursday's Thanksgiving feast-a-thon. It was certainly true at Plush and Aura, where Pre-Thanksgiving parties on Wednesday were the dance-ticket for Uptowners and Dallas-ites looking for good time before a restful Turkey Day (we hope). Jump over to Roderick Pullum's slideshows to check out photos from Aura and Plush, where DJs Ernie, Kid B and Pihoihoi spun (respectively) at Wednesday night's pre-Thanksgiving parties.

​This was a nerd's weekend: Between Rangers fans and blood-spattered zombies photos (I think there was some stormtroopers in there too?), our photographers Ray & Peter Lek and Roderick Pullum caught a wide spectrum of fandoms from the weekend's events.

Somewhere around the Trinity River, DJ Brett Johnson from Dallas was the star of a Fear and Loathing-themed party at a warehouse. It advertised itself as a "journey into the heart of the Dallas underground," of which we're sure Hunter S. Thompson would approve. Meanwhile, eXcuses in Dallas presented some bad ass body graffiti in the semi-NSFW "Texas Body Art Massacre," although nobody was officially massacred, as far as we know. Proceeds for the nude body painting went to benefit the Northstar School.

This was all, of course, after the Rangers beat the doodoo out the Yankees. Good times!

​Dubstep producer and game-changer DJ Rusko, stopped by Dallas' Lizard Lounge on a leg of U.S. tour dates (he's on to Denver's Ogden Theater next) to promote O.M.G! with DJ Titan.

As usual, he managed to enthrall the pants off--literally in some cases--of the audience.

​August was a real scorcher--which meant that some of the best parties and concerts in Dallas happened after-hours and were occasionally NSFW. (Science tells us that it's cooler without clothes on.)

So, on that note, after the jump, we've provided links to all those night moves slideshows--with photos by Roderick Pullum, Kevin Todora, and Ray and Peter Lek. But if you want to see the greatest hits check out our month-end collection for August 2010. (Warning, some of the photos ain't exactly safe-for-work). More >>

DJ Baby Ruthless

​Not sure when the last time we posted show photos from a hookah lounge was, but it's probably time for a new one. Those bubbling up at the H2O hookah lounge (over in Denton) caught DJ Baby Ruthless, DJ Vivid and the Dub Commission crew playing Dubstep and Drum 'n Bass. We've decided to drop the full round of photos by the Lek Brothers in this post--so make the jump and check 'em out.
