| Electric Campfire Acoustic Jam Sons of Hermann Hall | Every week Thursday, 6:00pm | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
| We're sick of your attitude. Every week, you expect someone else to entertain you—to dance, sing, dunk a basketball, whatever-and that's selfish. Put forth some effort, and be an entertainer instead of an entertainee, slacker! Try the Thursday night acoustic jam session at Sons of Hermann Hall,... More >> | |||

| versus Los Angeles Clippers American Airlines Center | Tue., December 2, 7:30pm | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
Frankly, we're tired of talking about what's going on with the Mavs these days, so instead let us concentrate on former Golden State point guard Baron Davis, duped this summer into moving south to Los Angeles by buddy Elton Brand, only to have Brand bolt for Philly shortly after. Sucks to be... More >> |

| Buddy Guy, Tom Hambridge House of Blues | Sun., December 7 | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |

| Dylan Sneed, Jacob Metcalf, Lalagray Opening Bell at Mosaic | Thu., December 4 | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
Dylan Sneed's EP No Worse for the Wear features quiet but intense country/folk that comes across like Leo Kottke covering Paul Simon. Rich and rewarding, Sneed's songs have a sly humor and an offbeat charm that makes their religious underpinnings all the more convincing. "What I Thought" and... More >> |

| Urban Bazaar Open Location | Sat., December 6, 11:00am-10:00pm | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
Few things feel like more of a beat-down than a day at the mall hunting for gifts you pray your special someone doesn't already have but know probably already does. Come on...there are only so many Coach purses or DKNY ties one person can own. And besides wanting to beat the crap out of the... More >> |

| Late Nights at the Dallas Museum of Art Dallas Museum of Art | Third Friday of every month | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |

| Deck the Halls Old Red Museum | Daily from Sat., November 15 until Sun., January 11 | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |

| DJ Jonny 5, Format Obar | Every week Monday | Downtown & Deep Ellum |
|
A downtown underground clusterfuck of young professionals that straddle the fine line between myspace and adulthood. With ample seating but great dance music, Obar can't decide between being a lounge or dance club and yet somehow gives off a great unpretensious vibe that puts it coolness way... More >> |

| Gospel Brunch House of Blues | Every week Sunday | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
| Feeling hungry? Go to the House of Blues on Sunday for their Gospel Brunch and have your body and spirit filled up. What does a Yankee boy know about gospel brunches?

| Is it the real turtle soup? Holly Johnson Gallery | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Sat., November 22 until Wed., December 24 | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
"Is it good turtle soup or merely the mock?" That's a line from Cole Porter's "At Long Last Love," written in 1938. Well to be sure, I had to research what the hell is actually involved in turtle soup. According to my Google search, my instincts were correct, and it's exactly what it implies.... More >> |

| King Bucks Adair's |
Sat., July 5 more dates/times |
Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
If you'd asked two years ago, I would have said that the only reason for a cover band to exist is to make money and watch the crazy shit that goes down at weddings, and that's coming from someone who's been in one. Yeah, I admit it--the Ronnie Dobbs Band could "rock your corporate event" with... More >> |

Wed., December 17, 7:30pm more dates/times |

Every week Monday, 12:00pm-6:00pm more dates/times |
Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
Home movies are considered very personal, but for 11 people who lived in Dallas in the 1960s, those personal movies also memorialize a profound moment in history.
