We’re modern home voyeurs. Floor-to-ceiling window gazers. Xeriscape fanatics. We trail in Le Corbusier’s wake, intrigued by architecture designed to serve its interior. That’s why we grow impatient each Fall, waiting for the AIA Dallas Tour of Homes to illuminate the city’s most captivating residences. This is the seventh annual…
I bet it smells so good in there. The AIA Dallas Tour of Homes is gorgeous. Organized by local architects to celebrate great design, the hunt invites you through the interiors of ten stunning residences. Once there you’ll marvel and say, “Where do they put all of their stuff?” It…
Last night at Fort Worth’s Bass Hall, classic horror film geeks and avant-garde minimalist music fans united in nerdom to do what they do best: sit in the dark, watch, listen, and quietly freak-out in the presence of their idols. The occasion was a screening of the classic Bela Lugosi…
One of the biggest mush mouths of reality television, Duck Dynasty’s Tim “Mountain Man” Guraedy, is an air conditioning repairman who talks like an extra in every John Grisham book-turned-movie ever made. If you’re a fan of the show and Mountain Man, one of your dreams could come true this…
On these Monday nights, the Hamon Hall turns into a safe place for revealing intimate details and sharing heartwarming or gut-wrenching stories.
If you live in Seattle, San Francisco or New York today, you’re the luckiest mother fucker on the planet. In those markets Uber has paired up with meme blog Cheezeburger to deliver adorable kittens to anyone wanting 15 minutes of playtime — today only — from 11 a.m. to 4…
You’ve suffered through the tough part: hot gluing sequins, cardboard and feathers into a perfect — or at least somewhat wearable — costume. It’s time to take that thing for a ride. We do Halloween well in Dallas, so plan on calling in sick this Friday and spend Thursday night…
“Trollin #halloween”There’s always something going on in Dallas, so we thought it’d be fun to live vicariously through your adventures. Each week look for our #Dallas Instagram recap of people, places, events, food, and more. This recent #Dallas photoroll turned up some bizzare photos, including a creepy cake, a handful…
French mezzo Clémentine Margaine bolted on stage at the Winspear opera house this weekend and stole the audience’s attention with effortless sensuality and a strong, smooth voice. Making her American debut in The Dallas Opera’s season-opening production of Bizet’s Carmen, Margaine also brought depth and complexity to the classic title…
The state of Missouri is No. 1 in crystal meth lab accidents. According to comedian and Missouri native Kathleen Madigan (who dares you to Google the stat), it’s basically an affront to the Missouri school system. They just can’t teach science. Rednecks plus chemistry equals a disaster. She would give…
On Saturday the people of Denton took to Downtown’s streets for the annual Day of the Dead Festival. The family friendly event includes a stage for local musicians, a salsa cook off, screenings from the 48 Hours of Hell short film contest, multiple performances of the Cirque Du Horror show…
Before the sky cracked open and flooded the streets, Saturday’s block party was in full Halloween tilt. We sent Ed Steele to capture the night’s best in photos. Not only did he get there before the storm, he brought back a whole slideshow’s worth of inventive, elaborate and flat-out ridiculous…
Last night two of our number saw the frankly magnificent Dylan Moran swoop through Dallas. A lot of his set is a stream of consciousness, and so being in Texas, he had some typically European thoughts, served with a dash of surrealism, about our state that we thought were worth…
Master Pancake is an Austin staple, run by former Jeopardy champion, host of KO-OP radio’s Elk Mating Ritual and all-around Chill Dude John Erler. He and his revolving clutch of film mockers occupy the Alamo Drafthouse’s front row to riff on popular movies. They even break the things apart, halting…
Last April Price is Right Live! announced the game show would visit the Majestic. We called in sick to our jobs, using the time to intensively study price points of common consumer goods — blenders, dreaded dinette sets, sexytime hot tubs and jet skis — so that victory would be…
Comedian Dylan Moran is a freewheeling delight to behold in person. A veteran of the comic circuit (as he admits, as part of a fantasy sequence, he’d really like to have a job, he’s just never had a real one), he doesn’t seem to have a plan as such. Sure,…
Dealing with the end of a great TV show is similar to dealing with a painful breakup, and we know you’re breaking sad. But it’s something we all have to come to grips with. Recently, we helped you out twofold by distracting you with another titillating show, The Walking Dead,…
Had I known that “cat writer” was a legit title I wouldn’t be here, chained to this newsroom desk. I’d be out in the wild grabbing life by the scruff. Chasing my dreams like they were goddamn laser pens on curtains. I’d bask in Internet sunbeams and let that money…
As the British guy on staff, it falls to me to tell you the Dr. Who-ge (geddit?)* news involving our very own Dallas. The new Dr. Who “cinematic event” (the press release I have is extremely grand), entitled Dr. Who: The Day of the Doctor, is to be the subject…
“Birth of the Living Dead” Trailer from Rob Kuhns on Vimeo. Texas Theatre pries Night of the Living Dead’s coffin lid open with Birth of the Living Dead, a perfectly unexpected documentary. Catch it all weekend long. The Symphony’s giving an all-Hitchcock show and Philip Freakin’ Glass channels Bela Lugosi…
This Friday Whitney Cummings takes the stage at House of Blues on her first tour since launching two sitcoms back in 2011. Though the eponymous Whitney has been cancelled, 2 Broke Girls is still trucking, and Cummings talked to us about being back on the road and the inexplicable flak…
