Getting comfy with art (and the artists)


In the mix of Dallas' many art galleries, museums and exhibition spaces, there's nothing else like the Bath House Cultural Center. And on their richly varied calendar of art shows featuring local artists, there's nothing like the annual invitational exhibition, Salon du FIT.

Fifty-nine works by approximately forty artists make up Salon du FIT 4, which opens tomorrow evening with an artists' reception in its trademark ...

One-Stop Art Shopping


Just a few weeks ago, a symposium of curators, writers and art cognoscente entertained the question, "Is Dallas the next New York?" Well, maybe. But only if Al Gore's weather forecast holds up and we're all inconvenienced by standing water at the Guggenheim.

Still, big art stuff really is happening here with increasing frequency. Witness the recent gift of more than 900 important contemporary works to the already not-to-be-sneezed-at holdings ...

Your St. Patty's Line Up - South Dallas


Lee Harvey's gets a lot of attention for it's unique dive-ness and cheap beer. It's a great place to hang outside listening to the band or even cramped inside with the quirky DJ spinning tunes. And bring your dog as well for the Dog Day Afternoons. You can get a good feel on their website. But their St. Patrick's celebration looks to be a good one. If you're ...

You ready for Green Day? Well, St. Patrick's that is...


Lots and lots of parties and celebrations going on all around town but this will be your primo event. It's a Dallas tradition so get there early, claim a spot and stock up on drink and snack as the annual Greenville Ave. St.  Patrick's Day Parade takes over the city rain or shine. Plus, I'll be on one of the floats. Say hi.

JFK's Other Shooter


We all know that if you're coming to Dallas, chances are you're going to visit The Sixth Floor, the Grassy Knoll and all that. So, if that's where you're headed, tomorrow night might be a good time to go...

Dallas' Best Clubs: Gypsy Tea Room and Ballroom (on its way out)


If you're about to visit Dallas soon, and you're a fan of "alternative" rock, folk, roots, hip-hop, or soul music, then hurry! It's with the utmost grief that I report that the Gypsy Tea Room and Ballroom will host its last show March 31st. Although it's only been around for almost nine years, it's one of the last hallowed venues of the dying Deep Ellum district. (It's ...
