Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
It's one thing for Van Halen to postpone its show tonight at the American Airlines Center. But now we get word from Sara Edmonds, the events coordinator at Borders Books' Preston Royal location, that the former Mrs. Eddie Van Halen, Valerie Bertinelli, has also bailed on her appearance originally scheduled for 5 p.m. tonight. Happened about an hour ago, Edmonds tells Unfair Park, "because her flight was canceled, and they can't get another one." Riiiight. Must be the, ahem, snowstorm headed our way? Nonetheless, Edmonds says, "They will reschedule, we just don't know the date yet." --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.
