Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Oh, sweet baby Jesus. We just received the Best. Press. Release. Ever. Why come? Because it contains the following sentence: "Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert and Blockbuster CEO Jim Keyes will compete performing a Guitar Hero song to kick off 24-hours of jam sessions on May 16 at 2:30 p.m." Blah blah blah, fund-raiser, blah blah blah, something good for the kids, blah blah blah. Registration form and further info here.
But, really, I still can't get past, "Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert and Blockbuster CEO Jim Keyes will compete performing a Guitar Hero song to kick off 24-hours of jam sessions on May 16 at 2:30 p.m." Now you know where to find us Friday. Till then, we're trying to figure out which song off GH3 is best suited for Mayor Tom. "Bulls on Parade," maybe? Nah. Lil' help? --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.
