I’ll admit that I was terrified when I misread the email. Tonight, Trees is hosting a libationally liberal event called the Drinks & Ink Tour, sponsored by TUACA liquor and featuring LA Ink’s master tattoo artist Corey Miller. My mind went to the worst and most incorrect place first: free…
Bridge! Bridge bridge bridge. Probably you heard about the bridge. If not: we have this Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, you see, and it officially “opened” this weekend. And if you heard it, then you probably know that by “open,” we mean “not open at all.” Funny thing because of the…
He was on his way to Austin when we caught him on the phone, and Bruce Lee Webb was breaking up. “That’s when I came across….baboon skull…gone too soon.” Even with a Texas highway’s splotchy reception, Bruce Lee Webb is fascinating. He’s currently on a mission: he must replenish his…
Live video from your iPhone using UstreamWaterTower Theatre has chosen to make its Out Of The Loop Fringe Theater Festival even more accessible by streaming the event live. Sure, there will be periods of deadspace (As much as we wish they could, they can’t perform 24/7), but when it’s on,…

Somewhere in Fitness Heaven, Jack LaLanne’s biceps are smiling down, preparing their spiritual descent upon Dallas tomorrow night in a Pentecost of absurd artistic revelry. You see, just like the late-great LaLanne’s epic stature, from his Kilimanjaro pectorals to his Stonehenge quadriceps, monumental strength is often best realized in concert,…
There are strange noises emanating from the earth’s core. There are even stranger noises booming down from the sky, according to witnesses around the world who’ve recorded them and put them up on YouTube. If, like me, you stay up nights watching these things and reading interweb posts about how…
Whitney Paige, also known around town as “The Eyes of Texas” put on a glittery show last night at Randy’s Club Cherries. Paige, has shimmied all over the country, snatching up titles and awards like Miss Gay Texas America, Miss Gay World, Miss Gay USofA, and Miss Texas Entertainer of…
In all honesty: the thought of performing on stage in an improv troupe scares the feces out of us. The thought of having to be hilarious and insightful, often at the same time, at the unexpected drop of a rubber chicken is enough to make us find a gang-banger to…
This year’s Texas Bear Round-Up is muscling up its four-day affair with a visit by celebrity blogger and children’s book author Perez Hilton. From March 15 to the 18, Dallas will see an increase in big burly men, and those who adore them, as they pack up to paw their…
Everyone watches television, but hardly anyone can tell you who invented it. Lightbulb? Edison. Telephone? Bell. TV? Huh? You’ll know a lot more after you see The Farnsworth Invention, a play by Aaron Sorkin getting its Dallas debut at Theatre Three. Sorkin, who won an Oscar for The Social Network,…

Reilly) results in accidental pregnancy, free-spirit travel writer Eva becomes an unhappy…
Holocaust culture has proven to be essentially infinite — almost 70 years since the end of World War II, and untold stories of decimation and survival are still hitting the mainstream with no light at the end of the tunnel. Agnieszka Holland’s new film, In Darkness, opens a scab perhaps…
What writer Aaron Sorkin did with the founding of Facebook for his Oscar-winning screenplay The Social Network, he does with similar flourishes in his play about the fathers of television, The Farnsworth Invention. Getting its Dallas debut in an exceptionally zippy production at Theatre Three, the play is an explosive…
If you are one of those people that gets so into St. Patrick’s Day that a parade and block party alone cannot satisfy you, you’re in luck. Tonight through Sunday marks the 30 year anniversary of the North Texas Irish Festival. Themed “Harps and Fiddles,” the event showcases native music…
He’s dropped from a helicopter to a submarine. He’s been trapped in Winona Ryder’s haunted house. He’s sweat through a shirt on screen due to humidity, and it wasn’t even icky. He’s provided narration for Wes Anderson—as well as a generation of kids with distant fathers but no sense of…

What do you do after you front Black Flag and go successfully solo (or, at least, as an eponymous band), start your own publishing house, write a dozen or so books, act in a variety of films, work as a radio DJ, and tour with a sort of stand-up comedy-political…
If you’ve ever seen Who’s Line is it Anyway then you’re probably also a bit of a nerd. (Just kidding.) But if you have seen Who’s Line then you really will recognize these two jokers – Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood. They were series regulars and then one day someone…
