Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Before Erykah Badu completed the PM Nightlife Lounge's final DJ set last night, there was a motorcade and funeral band in the streets. The New Orleans-style procession started late, 'round 11:30, at Pegasus Plaza, and completed its "final voyage" outside the Joule Hotel. The funeral band was, of course, The Rebirth Brass Band, who played in the streets as Badu arrived in excellent fashion (seriously, where does she get her incredible hats?) Unfair Park's providing a dispatch of the night in the streets. Check out more shots from our contributing photographer Mike Brooks over in the slide show. By the way, Dallas absolutely needs more spill-into-the-streets dance parties.
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.
