• Arlington Lands 2014 Final Four. Current Score: Arlington 35, Dallas 3

  This just in: Dallas has officially moved to Arlington. Well, after Arlington's new Jonestown Coliseum snared another 100,000-kilowatt event this morning, that feels like the score. Right? On the heels of Dallas being shunned by the women's Final Four last week, the Cowboys' new stadium today landed the 2014 men's Final Four. Dallas last hosted a Final Four in 1986, same year it hosted its only NBA All-Star Game. Of course, coupled with this recent announcement, both events -- like

• Revolving Doors: The (Sometimes) Merry Month Of May

  The Dallas area has been hitting better than even in the openings and closings department. But when one closes...This month the new, well-reviewed "gastro-pub" on lower Greenville, Zymology, shut down. Suddenly and quietly. From all accounts, the venue proved too good for its neighborhood. The breakdown:EnteringVapiano--The German-based, Italian-kinda-themed chain in Mockingbird Station.La Calle Doce--Reopened after a devastating fire.Cobb Switch BBQ--Big names are behind this Carrollton venture

• Girl Drink Drunk: Pizza Hut Park

  Last week, BFF Jen's birthday was nigh and her wish was to go to the FC Dallas season opener. Thus, a group of us converged upon Frisco's Pizza Hut Park. Based on past FC Dallas experiences, games meant not only sporting good times and learning to curse in Spanish, but also copious treats and alcoholic beverages (elotes, nachos, michelada (or chelada), pina colada, oh my!). This would allow me to do several things for Girl Drink Drunk research: show we're not confined to Dallas, hang out where i

• Short Orders: Mattito's (Frisco)

  Mattito's6129 W. Main St., Frisco214-872-3411There's one key difference between the original Dallas operation and its Frisco counterpart: location.And before you finish that "no shit, Sherlock" response, allow me to explain. In this case, location refers to mindset more than anything else. Mattito's famed Uptown restaurant is neatly camouflaged by other structures and thus nearly invisible from the street. Besides, the confluence of Cedar Springs, Cole and Routh leaves little opportunity to look

• Good Friday: Terri Hendrix, Lloyd Maines, Richard Lloyd, Charlie Louvin, Kenny Chesney, Dave Matthews, Ghoultown, The Uncontrollable Urge, Jason Isbell, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Slow Roosevelt, Eleven Hundred Springs

  Darryl is totally stoked that this guy is coming to town.Quite a variety of musical happenings this weekend; and it's a nice mix of national and local fare. First the shows already covered in print or in the blog: Jesse did a nice job hipping you to tonight's Chalie Louvin/AM Ramblers show in Fort Worth. I initially and erroneously told you about Richard Lloyd's Wednesday performance at Dada that turns out to be tonight. And we gave away some tickets to tonight's Eleven Hundred Springs show, a

  Kenny Chesney @ Pizza Hut Park, Saturday, May 2Sure, his tractor is sexy, but that was the last thing Kenny Chesney fans were thinking about Saturday in Frisco. Instead of disappointing thousands when a spring storm rolled in, the sleeveless heartthrob pressed on, giving concert-goers at least a little of what they paid for.  Unfortunately for spectators, Chesney was only able to perform five songs before the show was called off.  Even more unfortunately, the show has not yet been resc

• Rained Out Kenny Chesney Show Rescheduled for May 17. Jennifer Hudson and Robin Thicke Moved to May 21.

  Some DC9 readers poked fun at me for listing Kenny Chesney show at Frisco's Pizza Hut Park in last week's Good Friday blog post. Well, love him or hate him, at least Chesney has some principals: Even though he only made it through a few songs before torrential rain shut down the show (see above), there was never any mention by the venue or the promoter whether or not tickets would be refunded.Word out today is that the show has been rescheduled for May 17 and that all tickets for the original d

  We already reminded you once, but what the heck, let's do it again: Sunday is Mother's Day. Remember it. Write it in permanent ink on your hand. Don't spend the next year in the doghouse with mom, because, really, moms rock. Now, onto some actual rock. As always, let's lead with the show's we've already hyped. Tonight's the Phoenix Project benefit show at Reno's that Jesse just told you about and, also, the Backside Pick CD release show up in Denton at Hailey's.Saturday's a pretty big day:

Without further ado, here's how you spent your weekend, music fans...Shinedown on Saturday, May 9, at Pizza Hut ParkI actually woke up at fairly a reasonable hour today, which never happens, and

• If She Thinks Your Tractor's Sexy, Wait Till She Sees This!

  Kenny Chesney already scheduled a make-up date of sorts for his rain-soaked concert at Pizza Hut Park from a couple weeks back. Actually, it's this Sunday, to be exact. Hope you remembered!But now comes this (which, really, maybe isn't that much of a surprise, considering Chesney's got a song called "There's Something Sexy About The Rain"): Chesney has taken some of the photos shot during his rainy day performance and has gone and turned them into a T-shirt commemorating the event in Frisco.

  Whether you're at the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt's End: *Of the Texas Rangers' hot start - they are 20-14 compared to 14-20 last year - the most amazing feat is pitcher Matt Harrison's back-to-back complete games. If you're looking for Nolan Ryan's stamp on this team, there it is. The Rangers had only five complete games last year and none in '07. Ryan, who had six complete games for the Rangers as a 42-year-old and once threw 239 pitches in a gam

  Apologies for the delays. The weather forecasts for yesterday evening called for a 30 percent chance of rain, so I spent part of my time in a tunnel at Pizza Hut Park and potential funnel clouds developed. Good thing they didn't say 40 percent--we'd have an F-5 tornado ripping through downtown.Anyway, when was the last time a real restaurant diner tried something actually cooked by Gordon Ramsay. The foul-mouthed media machine has enough crags and wrinkles in his face to give a fair impression o

• Note to Self: Find My Old Bobby Moffat Jersey

  Sunday afternoon at Dallas Farmers Market, Brandon Pollard broke the bad news: I'd somehow managed to miss an old-timers kick-around at Pizza Hut Park the day before featuring the likes of Bobby Moffat, Chad Deering, Tatu and, of course, the Texas Honeybee Guild'er buzzing around Shed One. (Ticket tie-in: Bob Sturm and Dan McDowell were coaches.) Brandon was kind enough to send along the roster, and FC Dallas -- which is hands-down the best local sports organization when it comes to promoting th
