Dave Neumann: What, him worry about the Trinity River Project? Never. Since we don’t like to say, “Told ya so,” we’ll leave it to a Friend of Unfair Park who’s earned the right this morning: “Can I just say…….told ya so, told ya so, told ya so!!!!!” Feel better? Because,…
Just give us the highlights, Scott. There won’t be a red carpet per se, but if you want to ooooh and ahhhh at the most swank of Dallas sports dignitaries all dressed up with somewhere to go, Tuesday is the night and The Fairmont Hotel is the place. It’s the…
Apparently, Cubes ain’t content just dancing with the stars. Tomorrow, our favorite billionaire will announce a new show on his cable network called HDNet Fights, which isn’t much different than the Friday Night Fights show the network has already been airing. The main difference is that instead of relying on…
Dallas resident Brandon Friedman, still fighting the good fight In July, I wrote here about Brandon Friedman, a former infantry officer in the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division in Afghanistan and Iraq who now serves as a senior advisor to VoteVets.org. I am reading the Dallas resident’s new book, The…
This is why I will be watching the October 8 Dallas Cowboys-Buffalo Bills game with the TV sound turned down and the radio broadcast cranked up. ESPN and some record labels are hopping into bed together to pimp their product — specifically, Monday Night Football and such acts as the…
I’ve heard of people who can afford to shop at places other than Forever 21. I know they exist, somewhere. And sometimes I feel like I can even see one or two of them, especially after I’ve thrown my well whiskey all over their blouses in a fit of jealous…
In general, I don’t really care about kids. I don’t have them and don’t plan on having them any time soon. But I do believe that kids should be allowed to, oh, I don’t know, breathe. I think they deserve that much. Last week, Taylor “Tay” Candelario, a 12-year-old asthma…
New York Giants safety and Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens are, like, what? Twelve-year-olds? Millionaire middle-schoolers? Because in case you haven’t been following this “story,” seems the two men are fighting over a finger — as in, did T.O. shoot Wilson the bird during Sunday night’s game at Texas…
So, look. I know it seems like we’ve posted plenty about Neiman Marcus’ 100th — too much, no doubt, not gonna argue. But something about yesterday’s posting, concerning Neimans’ YouTube docs, is driving me a bit nuts — chiefly, the fact that the docs barely mention the late Stanley Marcus,…
A scene from Stuart Gordon’s Stuck, based on that infamous 2001 incident in Fort Worth. No doubt you recall Chante Mallard, the Fort Worth nurse who, in October 2001, struck a 37-year-old man named Gregory Glenn Biggs with her 1997 Chevy Cavalier, lodging him in her windshield; she allowed him…
Do you like to dress up in costume and dance around for kids? If so, and you’re not currently enrolled in an educational institution at which the top grade level is “12” or lower, you may be creepy. (Birthday party clowns are no exception, as anyone who, like me, is…
Some of you, when told about a locally produced Web comic called The Green Reefer, billed by its creator as Cheech and Chong meet The Tick, will roll your eyes and say, “Stupid stoner-boy humor.” You people are called adults. Others have a finer appreciation of the artistry behind the…
Everyone’s stealing my book titles. The latest is Johnny Wilson, whose self-published tome is titled Str8 Ballin’ and is available from AuthorHouse. Says here it’s “a riveting storry from the streetz of Dallas, where money, power, and greed rule. Sex is everywhere, loyalty is everything, and betrayal’s always lurking. Jealousy…
At least I didn’t run into Sean Penn in the bathroom … So, which you like to hear about first — what the AFI Dallas International Film Festival people are doing at the Toronto International Film Festival, or what I said to Sean Penn in the bathroom Saturday night after…
Apparently, there is no GQ curse, as Tony Romo tossed for 345 yards and four TDs. But what the hell is Roy WIlliams’ excuse? See. See what happens when you have a head coach who plays to win instead of plays not to lose. This is what happens: Tony Romo…
If you go to YouTube’s home page this morning, you will notice at the top right-hand corner a video titled “Neiman Marcus — The Mystique Part 1.” It’s no amateur posting, of course, but one of six slick docu-ads Neimans is posting in the low-rent district as part of its…
Remember when you thought the private nightclub shtick dressed in VIP rooms was getting a little worn at the knees? Not so fast. Dallas has a brand new uber-buck lounge made exclusively of private parts — Praeda Ultra Lounge. Praeda means booty acquired in battle in Latin. (Or was it…
If you remember the alt-country “explosion” of the mid-1990s, then you probably recall the twangy swamp pop of Misissippi’s Blue Mountain. Maybe you saw the band open for Son Volt at the Sons of Hermann Hall back in ’95 (where the group actually fulfilled a request for “Freebird”) or, perhaps,…
In this week’s Buzz, I update you on the case of the painfully adorable Jacob Cato, adopted son of Tracy and Kelley Cato of Corinth. I first wrote about the Catos back in June 2006, when they found out they might be forced to give up their new son because…
This week, the so-called “Leprechaun Bandit,” 27-year-old Richard Earl Kemp of Fort Worth, pleaded guilty in federal court to two counts of bank robbery. He faces up to 40 years in prison, where he’s sure to get plenty of ridicule from bank robbers who thought ahead and ended up with…
Remember, kids, gambling on the Pokes with real money is illegal, so don’t get caught. Nothing better than watching the Cowboys win, right? Unless, that is, you watch the Cowboys win while getting a naked rubdown from this chick and having them cover the spread as the sixth winner in…
KTVT-Channel 11 The week began with the horrific news that one of Dallas’ most beloved and gifted musicians had been shot and killed, for reasons still to be unraveled — which has stopped few from debating them. Now, the week ends with the funeral of Carter Albrecht, at 2 p.m…
