Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Last night's a pretty hazy one for me at this point, I'll be honest. I think it had something to do with the fact that there really weren't any breaks in the action--mainstage performer into punk stage performer into awards and so on. Or maybe it's the piles of drink tickets I stuffed in my pocket at the start of the night? Dunno.
The memories are flooding back now, though, thanks to Patrick Michels' slideshow of the event. For instance, who remembered that Snarky Puppy started off the night by doing a keg stand when they won the Best Jazz Act award? Not me. Also: Joey Greco was there? Whose idea was that? Mine? Really? And The O's almost got into a fight with Martellus Bennett? Crazy.
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.
