| Danielson, Cryptacize, Mount Righteous Granada Theater | Thu., November 20 | East Dallas & Lakewood | |
There are 11 of them. Well, not right now, actually. At this very moment, only nine of Mount Righteous' members have gathered in the driveway of bass drum player Joey Kendall's house in Grapevine.
(That, in and of itself, is something of an accomplishment.)
The two missing members of the band... More >> |

| Gang Gang Dance, Rainbow Arabia, Sydney Confirm Lola's | Thu., November 20 | Fort Worth | |
Brooklyn's Gang Gang Dance aren't beholden to any particular style or scene; this foursome brews its own inimitable sonic pilsner. And into its (world) musical crock-pot goes Middle Eastern themes, acid techno, cracked synth-pad and guitar-struck runoff, and frontwoman Liz Bougatsos' exotic... More >> |

| A Royal Affair: Afternoon Tea with Royal Chef Darren McGrady Stonebridge Ranch Country Club | Thu., November 20, 2:00pm-4:00pm | Allen/McKinney | |
Afternoon tea encompasses the only things that are right with British cuisine: hot tea and scones. Forget bangers, faggots with gravy or spotted dick (were middle-schoolers allowed to name English food?); give us a creamy, flaky scone with preserves. Experience the range of edible British food...

| The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari University of Texas at Dallas |
Every week Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Thu., November 13 until Sat., November 22, 8:00pm more dates/times |
Richardson & Vicinity | |
Released in 1920, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is one of the earliest and most influential of all the German Expressionist horror films. The psychological shocker's chilling visuals, sharp contrast of light and shadows, and ending twist have been hugely influential on generations of filmmakers... More >> |

| Deck the Halls Old Red Museum | Daily from Sat., November 15 until Sun., January 11 | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
Old Red's getting into the spirit of things, though they're doing it a little late by modern standards. After all, everybody else had their halls decked the day before Halloween. Better late than never as they always say--of course, we don't know who they are exactly, but we're told they are... More >> |

| SMU for the North Texas Food Bank Food Drive Open Location | Daily from Sat., November 15 until Mon., November 24 | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
Redistributionist-In-Chief-Elect Barack Obama will soon rescue us from the horrible poverty created by the evil Bush regime. But until January 20, 2009, we'll need charities like North Texas Food Bank. The Meadows School of the Arts, SMU-in-Legacy and Resounding Harmony choir will help restock... More >> |

| Kate Gilmore: Girl Fight University of North Texas Art Gallery | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Tue., November 11 until Sat., December 13 | Denton | |
New York artist Kate Gilmore's Girl Fight isn't about ripping someone's weave out or clawing runs into someone's clothing and/or face. It's more like a commentary via video installation on the sometimes laughable struggle within one's self and with society when it comes to just being a girl.... More >> |
|||
| Social/Scene University of Texas at Dallas | Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday from Fri., October 31 until Sat., December 13, 9:00am-10:00pm | Richardson & Vicinity | |
Anyone who knows anything about this country of ours knows that it's a fusion of different cultures, locations, ideals and lifestyles. It's obvious, even deep in the heart of Texas, as ethnic neighborhoods bump up next to each other and spill over freely, and it's visible in the hodgepodge of... More >> |

| A Very Merry Unauthorized Children's Scientology Pageant The Circle Theatre |
Every week Friday, Saturday from Fri., November 21 until Sat., December 20, 8:00pm more dates/times |
Fort Worth | |
The Church of Scientology has shown its willingness to bully critics in the courtroom, and because I could no sooner afford to defend myself in a lawsuit than I could afford my own personal E-meter, I'll just say that any religion that offers protection from spirits trapped on Earth by the evil...

| The Church Lizard Lounge | Every week Thursday, Sunday | East Dallas & Lakewood |
|
Today the Industrial community still gravitates towards Lizard Lounge, a building with a substantial, enduring legacy. The ChURcH has been home base for the latex-and-spikes set for over 15 years now. DJs like Reverend Karl Vought, Joe Virus, Lord Byron, Eric Beck, Angry John and... More >> |

| Make Space of Artists: Design-A-Studio Dallas Museum of Art | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Thu., November 6 until Thu., February 12 | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
A long overdue trip to IKEA can act as a reminder that there's a designer in everyone--if they can make a 200-square-foot space livable, just imagine what you could do if you were given a shot. Now you get your chance to show your flair for interior design as the Dallas Museum of Art's new... More >> |

| Get Gifted at the Station Mockingbird Station | Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday from Mon., November 3 until Fri., December 19 | East Dallas & Lakewood | |
Nothing says "holiday season" like a bustling train stop. Fortunately, Dallas being the way it is, our train stops come complete with retail, dining and film opportunities. Mockingbird Station does, at least, and much like retailers everywhere, the station is getting in the holiday spirit. With... More >> |

| The Great Russian Nutcracker Majestic Theatre | Daily from Thu., November 20 until Sun., November 23 | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
There is a holiday story that's bigger than Santa's bag of toys. That blows the nose off Rudolph. That melts Frosty and burns Alfie the Christmas tree...no, never mind, no one messes with Alfie (regardless of his association with John Denver). This legendary tale travels through reality, Nod...

| Dinosaurs Alive! The Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary | Daily from Fri., August 29 until Wed., December 31 | Allen/McKinney | |
We don't really want to see a dinosaur eat a child. That would be wrong. Entertaining? Perhaps. Be that as it may, if the Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary really wants to thrill its patrons with its Dinosaurs Alive! exhibit of life-size, animatronic dinosaurs and demonstrate...

| Hanging Out with Boys and Little Cloths Latino Cultural Center | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Fri., September 12 until Sat., November 29 | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
If you've seen the movie Top Gun you're no doubt familiar with the Kenny Loggins song "Playing With The Boys," which perfectly scores that film's classic beach volleyball scene. It also happened to be the first thing I thought of when confronted with the title of the Latino Cultural Center's... More >> |

| Brian Gibb: All That Glitters Isn't Gold The Magnolia Theatre | Daily from Fri., October 17 until Wed., December 3 | East Dallas & Lakewood | |
Brian Gibb is a dangerous man. He can make you want things. He can make you buy things. And he doesn't even have to be in the room. His eye for talent brings some seriously amazing shows to his gallery, The Public Trust. But more important, his own art is...well...addictive. I have a... More >> |
|||
| Super Market: An Exhibition of New Work by Brent Ozaeta The Public Trust (formerly Art Prostitute Gallery) | Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Fri., October 24 until Sat., December 6 | ||
The first thing that strikes me about the artist behind Super Market is that he was born in 1985. In 1985, I was angling for a Spuds McKenzie T-shirt for Christmas and obsessing over Depeche Mode. Brent Ozaeta, however, was being born. This piece of knowledge has the effect of a) making me feel... More >> |
