Anyone with experience raising a boy knows that at times, especially around age 5, they seem to be completely insane–and obsessed with their own penises (unfortunately the latter isn’t usually just a passing phase). Comedian Jo Koy is no exception. “My son is out of his mind,” he says on…
How many times have you thought to yourself while doing the Bird of Paradise yoga pose that they should be paying you to do this instead of you paying them? We mean, come on, you have to put your body in all these weird positions while listening to some birds…
Yes, it’s 2010 but somehow America is experiencing a caveman invasion. It’s not enough that they discovered fire and invented the wheel. Now the hairy apes have come back to take over movies like 10,000 BC and Jack Black’s Year One, not to mention the Geico commercials. Now, if my…
When you hear “active seniors,” you might picture a kindly but wizened bunch who shuffle between brunch, bridge games, grandchildren’s recitals, and the early-bird special at Denny’s, and then retire to bed as soon as 60 Minutes is over. And then there are those active seniors who put 20- and…
Carnegie Hall is to classical music as Cowboys Stadium is to football. And for those who have taken residence under a rock somewhere in the past two years, it is the largest domed stadium in the world and houses the largest high definition video screen in the world at its…
It’s long been noted how swiftly pop culture eccentrics can quickly fall from their status as household names to household jokes, then to obscurity, and then finally, inevitably, into celebrity rehab shows. Or they can just skip the rehab shows and hit the comedy club circuit where they can lampoon…
Once upon a time there was Mariah and Whitney. And oh, let’s not forget Madonna and Britney. They’ve been the cream of the crop, the creme de la creme of America’s most feisty females. Well, until now that is. Move over Mariah, Whitney, Madonna and Britney because there’s a bigger…
Ever find yourself belaboring body language, playlists and text messages only to end up with a gawking list of unanswerables? “What did he mean?” or “Is this a sign?” Dallas-native Rebecca Carter’s new exhibition, Friendliness Towards all Things: or I Also Read (this)(into) What You Wrote, at Eastfield College, 3737…
Desperation truly pushes man into the harsh polarities of nature, elevating one to either the peaks of virtue or sinking one into the most slovenly, despicable depths. Especially in the realm of food foraging. For instance, upon arriving home in the first hours of the morning, I once created a…
I can’t remember when it became a trend for theaters to play old movies, but it’s the best idea ever since The Goonies went in search of pirate treasure. Next up for Midnight Madness at Inwood Theatre is The Last of the Mohicans starring Daniel Day-Lewis. And if you haven’t…
In Dallas, few terms strike fear into the hearts of Cowboys fan like “pre-season.” We love every opportunity to see our ‘Boys play, for sure, but pre-season play tends to be sloppy and chock full of nasty little injuries that resonate throughout the entire season. Case in point–the Bengals game…
Remember that time you were hanging out at that house party, and your friend handed you a mysterious blue pill? The last thing you remember is walking down a narrow hallway, and everything started swirling and changing colors–then you woke up on your couch. That trippy experience might be the…
The buzzing cacophony of vuvuzelas has long since faded from our collective consciousness and televisions. For those suffering from World Cup withdrawal (and really, who doesn’t miss the hotness that is Landon Donovan? Ladies?), then Pizza Hut Park is your Mecca. The local footballers of FC Dallas host the crazy…
Like so many of the plays produced at Contemporary Theatre of Dallas, the new one by Ed Graczyk called The Blue Moon Dancing is just Steel Magnolias by another name. Contemporary Theatre did Steel Magnolias earlier this year. It seems as if they do it every year. They put on…
With a small, well-chosen cast, sly script, and slippery, ambivalent characters, The Last Exorcism gives a welcome twist to the demonic-possession movie revival. A fourth-generation minister, Cotton Marcus (Patrick Fabian) of Baton Rouge’s Church of St. Mark was groomed for the pulpit. Onetime child preacher Cotton has grown out of…
Too often, art is considered an exclusive thing, something for the in-crowd–established artists and their cohorts, collectors and such. But TCU’s Department of Art and Art History presents a juried exhibition featuring the work of the public, so to speak. The only requirements for the paintings, drawings, sculptures, photos and…
If you’ve never listened to Bach, you’re missing out. Seriously, the guy had 20 children and an ego the size of Texas, but his music was still incredible. I’ll bet Itamar Moses, the playwright of Bach at Leipzig, knows all that, and I’ll bet he’s a fan of all of…
Diamonds, emeralds and rubies, oh my! And metal, iron and gold, too! Now is the perfect time to to dive into the wonderful world of bling and blacksmithing at the University of North Texas, as the school hosts Different Tempers: Jewelry & Blacksmithing in the UNT Art Gallery, located in…
Wine is enough of a reason to go to a winery, for sure. Tasting rooms are fun, and, duh, wine is delicious. But, for some reason, local winery Times Ten Cellars, 6324 Prospect Ave., wants to give you another good reason, so here it is: They’ll be hosting a live…

Photographer Deborah Lightfoot has a knack for capturing familiar landmarks and icons in a way that makes you look at them in a whole new light. Her photo of State Fair of Texas mascot Big Tex, with the giant’s face starkly lit in white light, captures the simultaneous creepiness and…
“One pump, eye contact. Boom! That’s how you do it!” No, not that. That’s how you shake hands, according to Greg Behrendt, contrasting the manly way to shake with the “wet French fry” handshake offered by a fan who identifies him as “that dude from that thing.” Who am I…
