In 2004, Tammy Pescatelli tap-danced her way into the hearts of Americans everywhere with her loud-mouth, ballsy-broad comedy on Last Comic Standing. Seven years later she still spends the better part of her life in front of a mic dishing out her opinion on everything from motherhood to Snuggies. She’s…
My apartment is littered with failed craft projects, DIY books and the occasional tortilla chip. See, I love the idea of crafts, but not as much as I love not completing them. Given that and the fact that etsy now exists, you’d think I’d hang up my glitter pen altogether,…
There’s art and then there’s art. And while I typically skew low-brow, I can’t help but be curious, impressed and several other adjectives with For The Birds, an art show featuring Chaitra Linehan. The press release for the show states that Chaitra has created an effect “that implies the dissociation…
I give The Fatal End three-and-a-half rotting bones out of a possible five. It’s in the West End so it’s a short drive, and that’s nice. I’m not big on commuting for terror. It’ll scare you in some sections and startle the shit out of you in others. I will…
When was the last time you were scared out of your pants? Was it watching a horror film, or something more terrifying like an episode of Hannah Montana? Dun dun dun. Well, if you’re looking to get spooked, look no further than Screams Halloween Theme Park. Admission to Screams is…
I always hear people say there’s nothing to do in Dallas: “Dallas is so boring.” “Dallas? More like Dull-as.” “I think I’ll rip out my toenails with pliers just for a little excitement in Dallas.” OK, fine, that’s a bit much, but I hear what you’re saying, people. It’s just…
Outside Tranquilo Yoga Studio in Bishop Arts the community is encouraged to add their own answer in chalk. So far there are some good answers and some great ones. I asked a friend that’s an art teacher what his would be and he said, “Convince a kid that has had…
The 19th Annual Goodguys Lone Star Nationals is a three-day extravaganza filled with tons of awesome cars and car-related activities and not a single Toyota Tercel in sight. So, what exactly constitutes awesome cars and car-related activities? How about more than 1,500 custom cars, classic cars, hot rods and souped-up…
Stay ZaZa Art House and Social Gallery and Turner Carroll Gallery are hosting a new exhibition, West Coast Women, featuring three female artists from the San Francisco Bay Area. Although all three ladies hail from the same region, their styles are nothing alike. Deborah Oropallo incorporates western-style-Annie Oakley types into…
Here’s the thing. When you live and work in the hustle and bustle of Dallas, it’s sometimes hard to remember what “not concrete” looks like. Fortunately, there are places like Lake Grapevine and these little vessels called kayaks to remind us there’s more to life than one-upping your neighbor. Now…
Saw off your devil horns and tuck your tail. It’s time for Legacy Counseling Center’s Be an Angel. Every year, LCC throws a fundraiser at Monica’s Aca y Alla, and you’d think there would be a queso-eating contest, because seriously that stuff is delicious, but there isn’t. There is, however,…
With more than 700 vendors, the Dallas Home & Garden Show is a little less “show” and a little more “every damn thing you’ll ever need for a home expo.” Sweet Hercules, that’s a lot of vendors. If it continues to expand, they’ll have to hold it on the moon…
You might remember him from the films Road Trip and Freddy Got Fingered, but you most likely remember him as the human version of the Aflac duck. Anyway, when he wasn’t getting punched for taking it too far, Tom Green was rolling into soccer games wearing a bubble and claiming…
I keep thinking this comic is Rich Little and any minute he’s going to try to sell me Little Debbie Snack Cakes, but he’s not. He is Rob Little who is “the biggest thing to happen to comedy in a long, long time,” according to his bio. And you might…
