Because I Got High

Some people don't do drugs because they're against the idea. I don't do drugs because I can't afford all the Cheetos, Doritos and STD testing it would require. Plus, I'm allergic to patchouli and crack rocks (I had a really thorough scratch test). 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday, bust...

Some people don't do drugs because they're against the idea. I don't do drugs because I can't afford all the Cheetos, Doritos and STD testing it would require. Plus, I'm allergic to patchouli and crack rocks (I had a really thorough scratch test). 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday, bust out your D.A.R.E. shirt and come see the opening of Naturally High, a group exhibit featuring work from a variety of kickass Decorazon artists. The cost to you is nothing. Nada. Zip. It's a free high. Where else can you get that without being expected to do some kind of sexual favor? Nowhere, my friends. Nowhere. Call 1-866-870-8010 or visit belmontdallas.com (You think anyone ever said the words "I don’t do drugs, I'm high on life," seriously? Because I've only ever heard it as someone was lighting up a doob. Discuss).
Wed., June 20, 6-9 p.m.

Alice Laussade writes about food, kids, music, and anything else she finds to be completely ridiculous. She created and hosts the Dallas event, Meat Fight, which is a barbecue competition and fundraiser that benefits the National MS Society. Last year, the event raised $100,000 for people living with MS, and 750 people could be seen shoving sausage links into their faces. And one time, she won a James Beard Award for Humor in Writing. That was pretty cool.
