Pretty Lights, Alex B Granada Theater	Tue., November 10	East Dallas & Lakewood	Music
For many an up-and-coming indie music act these days, the best way to get your music noticed is to get a mention on a major music blog. A mention on Pitchfork, Stereogum or even Dallas' own Gorilla vs. Bear is an almost guaranteed avenue to notoriety--and maybe even a little bit of success. But... More >>

Purse and the Person: A Century of Women's Purses The Women's Museum	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., November 6 until Sun., January 24	East Dallas & Lakewood	Fashion & Style Museum Exhibits & Events Women's Events
Like no other piece of apparel, purses have become an instant announcement of status and wealth (the ubiquitous Louis Vuitton), and they can even offer a comment on societal issues (Anya Hindmarch's I'm Not a Plastic Bag) or a satirical smirk (Longchamp's Ceci est un It Bag). The trinkets--and... More >>

Son Volt, Peter Bruntnell Granada Theater	Thu., November 12	East Dallas & Lakewood	Music
When Uncle Tupelo called it quits way back in 1994, few could have predicted the career paths of the band's two major, alt-country gurus, Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy.

There's more to Jewish humor than mother and matzo jokes. And comedian Elon Gold proves it.

(It's actually another word for... More >>

Chile Pepperama Old Town Shopping Center	Sun., November 15, 11:00am-6:00pm	East Dallas & Lakewood	Festivals Food & Drink
You have to give the organizers of the Chile Pepperama Festival at Old Town Shopping Center credit. They don't shy away from asking the hard question, as in: Who makes the best chili in town? This is Texas, after all, and no question short of "Who has the best religion?" is as likely to stir up... More >>

Section 8 Comedy Ozona Grill & Bar	Every week Tuesday, 9:00pm	East Dallas & Lakewood	Comedy Music
Like any improv troupe, Section 8 has great shows and "meh" shows. But that uncertainty is part of the appeal. A flubbed joke from one performer might lead the guys into a bizarre tangent, or it might just result in merciless onstage ball-busting from the others. Either way, it's usually funny.... More >>
