Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
The Deep Ellum Enrichment Project and the Deep Ellum Association are spreading the word today about a get-together tonight at Kettle Art -- not an art opening, really, so much as a meet-and-greet with Dallas police officers who'll discuss "safety and crime prevention issues" in the neighborhood. Lt. Alan Bull and Sgt. David Conley, both out of the Central Operations Division, will speak, and they'd love to take your questions. Shindig starts at 9 p.m., and I'd totally be there if I didn't have to go to the Go-Go's tonight -- which I mention only to point out Jack E. Jett's stellar interview with Belinda Carlisle, for whom he used to work ... as her personal assistant? Really? Awesome. --Robert Wilonsky
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.
