Clip-clopping into the weekend, with dash and style, is something plenty of Southern Californians do, even if they're not actually rocking a cowboy hat, spurs, and oodles of fabulous fringe.

That weekly clip-clop often begins on Thursday evenings for many revelers, the people looking to incorporate a bit of weekend-style spirit into the day just ahead of Friday.

The Autry Museum of the American West has long helped locals find a bit of that easygoing joy on a Thursday night; the destination's "Sizzling Summer Nights" series has become a time-honored way to tap a toe before the weekend officially begins.

Now more "Autry After Hours" energy is coming up for the fall, thanks to a fresh launch of Thursday-night events.

These happenings include talks, exhibits, live music, and more.

And tickets? They're on sale now.
