All Hallow's Eve is almost upon us, and what better way to celebrate than with Rob Zombie, who will be performing with Marilyn Manson on the Twins of Evil Tour at Verizon Theatre tomorrow night. It'll be a fright night filled with elaborate stage designs, terrifying costumes and metal. I...

OK, we start with a cartoon on the web site of the McKinney Tea Party, depicting President Obama as a high-stepping, vaguely simian character dressed as a trumpeter in a marching band. The headline is "McKinney Sustainability Plan." A label over the president identifies him as, "Dear Leader Obama." According...
Richard McKay knows his boyish face makes a statement. When we met for coffee last week, he still seemed a little shell-shocked by his very recent 30th birthday. But if he seems hyper-aware of his age, it's probably because the artistic director and conductor of the newly formed Dallas Chamber...
For awhile, Lynn Michelle considered altering her body. Like so many women, she's successful -- well-educated; a small business owner; an award-winning, peer-recognized career woman -- and beautiful, funny and personable. But she believed there was something missing. "There were things I wanted to change," she says. "I considered a...
"We felt a certain level of exhaustion," drummer Grady Sandlin admits, discussing his band, RTB2, and their now-legendary rate of playing shows. "I've never been criticized to my face about playing too much, but I've heard others say that people criticized us for it," he says. Weary from their workload...
It looked like UNT grad student Adam Rowlett was going to get screwed over when Mercantile Coffee House, the original venue for Gothic Abstract and site of the MAC's community outreach program to bring emerging artists into downtown Dallas, suddenly closed halfway through the show's run.

Just south of Dallas along Highway 67 in Midlothian is perhaps the country's largest concentration of cement plants. TXI, Holcim, and Ash Grove all operate facilities within a couple of miles of each other, and the emissions they pump into the air tend to waft over Dallas when the winds...
A bitterly Good Night. The full list is posted, and it includes an earlier teased category of Italian films. In that showcase you'll get a dusting off of two classics, Roberto Benigni's Life is Beautiful and Fellini's 8 1/2, along with three newbies. Probably the buzziest film In the Texas...
"I always really like the idea of an alien coming to Earth and not knowing the difference of things," says Berlin artist Rachel de Joode. We're sitting in the noisy back room of an East Dallas sandwich shop discussing her Saturday show at Oliver Francis Gallery. Her pieces reflect that...
Local metal sculptures Casey Melton and Shannah Frank are known better collectively as f. is for frank, the Dallas-based duo behind the city's most inventive accessories. But it didn't start out that way. Originally their main focus was furnishings: gorgeously detailed wooden chairs and tables, as well as pewter-crafted lighting...
Sixteen years ago, the last time a bunch of well-funded outsiders tried to reform the Dallas School system, the results were a disaster. I remember it. Some of you may too. Now the same kind of movement is starting up again, and so far it's been smooth as silk. So...
Strip clubs are the brave new frontier in employment lawsuits. Women who were for years treated as "independent contractors" are filing suit in droves against their current or former employers. All of them want basically the same thing: the minimum wage and overtime money they feel they should have gotten...

Don't tar James Hinkle with that "bluesman" brush. Sure, the guitarist and singer is one of the last active links to Fort Worth blues godfather Robert Ealey. Hinkle was just 18 when his mentor, guitarist Freddie Cisneros, pushed him onstage with Ealey at the singer's legendary New Bluebird Nite Club...

Someone has shown the Texas Democratic Party the video creator apps on YouTube, and the results are Lego George W. Bush, a joke about santorum (the frothy kind), a version of Rick Perry that looks like a rotund funeral home director and some jabs at sweater vests. Politicians, please start...
In early June, Governor Rick Perry was quick to announce that no state of his would be taking any of that tyrannical federal money to expand Medicaid coverage. Yet court documents filed by outgoing Health and Human Services Commissioner Tom Suehs claim that the state's new, Planned Parenthood-free Women's Health...
Video by Catherine Downes Yesterday evening, something amazing happened. The American Airlines Center plaza was briefly renamed The Battle Zone. Entry to its sloppy inner sanctum was not offered to every eager warrior: official battle tools were required. Hundreds of pie-enthusiasts waited in line to receive the items: A plastic...
It looks like the epitaph of Missouri Rep. Todd Akin's political aspirations are written in a Sunday morning interview on a Fox affiliate in St. Louis. The staunchly anti-abortion, GOP Senate candidate said women rarely get pregnant from rape, a misconception repeatedly disproved in medical research. Instead of stopping there,...

To prepare for this fall's Best of Dallas® 2012 issue, we're counting down (in no particular order) our 100 Favorite Dishes. If there's a dish you think we need to try, leave it in the comments, or email me. I've written about the lobster roll at Rex's far too many...
Suit alleges Dallas police officers and dispatchers failed to react as woman pleaded for her life during a 911 call.
A fellow food writer recently told me that food is one of the greatest pleasures of life you get to experience three times a day. If you followed this convention, you'd have more than a thousand opportunities to consume something beautiful every year. Our daily meals seem like an almost...
Last night it most of the north and east parts of Dallas and the Park Cities; tonight it's everywhere else. County Judge Clay Jenkins and Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings held a press conference at the Dallas County Administration building this afternoon to lay out their plans to murder every single...
