Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
The first of three planned holiday weekend concerts on Lake Lewisville goes down this Sunday, May 27, with Ray Wylie Hubbard, James McMurtry, Wayne Hancock, Michael Donner & the Southern Renaissance, Grant Jones & the Pistol Grip Lassos and The O's. The concept of Float: You'll be able to swim, enjoy music and be on a boat.
After we posted the initial announcement, a few of you commented that Lake Lewisville's nickname is "Lake Death." I'm not familiar with the origins of that name, but I'm hoping this doesn't mean an errant beer can tossed in the lake will break open a Paleolithic grave and send flesh-hungry piranhas scrambling to the surface. (Note: That's the very believable premise to Piranha 3-D.)
That said, we want to help you throw caution to the wind this holiday weekend and get on a damn boat. We're giving away two pairs of tickets to Sunday's concert. Want 'em? Email here and tell us why. We'll announce a winner tomorrow!
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
