Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Speaking of aquariums ... If you're looking for something to do with the kiddos on Friday, and you're particularly fond of the free stuffed animal, may I recommend a trip to the Dallas World Aquarium? At noon on Friday, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals will be in front of the Griffin Street joint handing out Sammy the Sea Kittens (a $9 value!) to the wee ones, who might be turned off by the idea of "sea kitten" fish sticks (not my boy). Because, see, PETA's trying to rebrand fish as "sea kittens" to stop people from eating 'em -- and good luck with all that, because Sea Kitten Sushi sounds even yummier. Jessica Simpson, of course, finds this whole thing very confusing.
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.
