Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
So, we'll see you Friday night at the opening of our dear Friend Hal Samples' new gallery, right? You know -- at 2814 Main Street in Deep Ellum? From 6 to 10 p.m.? Right. Awesome. 'Cause truth is, it's actually kind of a weekend-long shebang down at Samples' Space: Friday opening, Saturday drop-bys culminating in a rock show, then a Sunday-night potluck -- with all manner of musical accompaniment all weekend long. For those who can't make it, FineLineLive.com will stream the weekend's events, which is also doubling as a fundraiser for Dallas' homeless, to which Hal's devoted much of his time and talent in recent years. Here's Hal's video for the Sunday-night git-together. Happy eating. --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.
