As many good memories as I have from days-long road trips through the middle of nowhere, I have hardly any photos to remember the scenery by. When I’m driving, the stops are limited to the kind of place where you can buy a Coke and a ceramic eagle mounted on…
Helsinki-based DJ Tes La Rok was on hand spinning heavy Dubstep bass at the Dub Assembly party Friday night at the Green Elephant, and our nightlife photo crew was out to capture the blissed-out (that’s what bliss looks like?) scene.Saturday night our nightlife crew headed to DJ Jayson Gold’s birthday…

It wasn’t easy coming up with just one shot with which to tease this mid-week Night Moves set. If the photos from last night are any indication, it’s a wild scene down at Skye Bar’s monthly “Erotic Bash” parties, between the body art, the slow-dancing, the grinding up against mirrors…

The Paddy CristoWhich Wich Monte Cristo sandwich with avocado, mayonnaise and Cheez WhizThe ordering system at Which Wich — you build your sandwich one ingredient at a time on a multiple-choice form — is clever and efficient.

Stepping into the big white tent next to Grapevine’s Embassy Suites, the first thing you noticed last night was that it smelled great inside. The air hung thick and fruity, and as more than 400 people in white plastic ponchos chattered and paced across a spotless new carpet, you could…
Lil Wayne was the biggest thing going in Allen last night, with his stop at the frigid northern suburb’s new Allen Event Center. Ticking off the tour dates before he heads to prison in early February, Wayne joined Reba McEntire on the short list of big acts to grace the…
With five blankets and a parka separating her from the toughest cold Dallas has seen in years, May Davis figured she’d spend last night like all the others she’s spent on the street in South Dallas. Around 9 p.m., though, as the temperature sunk into the mid-20s, a city of…

The Avett Brothers played a sweaty set of bluegrass Sunday night, at once raucous, heartfelt and, for the ladies, sleeveless as well. With a minimum of stage banter, the four-piece remained unfazed by the cat-calling audience and answered shouted requests with a few older cuts off earlier albums like Mignonette…
In the early 2000s, we came to the State Fair of Texas with a doe-eyed, innocent kind of hunger. We’d get a corn dog, maybe a funnel cake or a fried candy bar. Ten years later, we emerged with bellies full of grease, and eyes opened to amazing new possibilities…
