10. I'm out of excuses/reasons/explanations. Any theories as to why - still - quarterback Tony Romo and receiver Roy Williams don't seem to be on the same page? Sometimes it's Romo overthrowing him and sometimes it's Williams falling down. Whatever, they just don't click. 9. Of all the linebackers drafted...
It isn't quite dark yet outside Deep Ellum's Club Clearview when a Chevrolet Suburban pulls into the parking lot. The doors open to reveal a vehicle crammed with musical equipment and Eisley, a family band comprising members of the DuPree family and their neighborhood friend, bassist Jonathan Wilson. They've just...
Walk into Smoke early on any Saturday afternoon and you'll get the sense that the year-old restaurant hums along effortlessly. Simple preparations, a small, amiable kitchen crew, a mastery of the menu. Truth is, the food takes hours to prepare and there is meticulous care in the execution of what...
I was thinking the other day - after another mindless, rambling post-game press conference - at how Texas Rangers' manager Ron Washington was deteriorating into weirdspeak. He not only trips over simple subject-verb conjugation, but recently his synopsis has read like a play-by-play review. "They got a couple early, but...

On Monday, Mary Suhm will present to the council the FY2010-11 budget, from which she had to trim some $131 million -- a "painful, painful, painful" process, as she put it one month ago, because it will involve laying off hundreds at City Hall and gutting the budgets in myriad...

The scene could have been lifted from any of a dozen cops-and-robbers movies: Nervous crooks and an undercover informant gather for a secret meeting. The bad guys are suspicious. Someone—they just know it—is wearing a wire. Tension mounts. Things look bleak for the wired-up hero. Bill Fisher knows that scene...
Hot Hot Heat, The 22-20sThe LoftAugust 26, 2010 Better than: Sitting alone in your efficiency apartment making mixtapes. It's not hard to believe that Canadian New Wavers Hot Hot Heat have been around for over 10 years now. Credit the fact that the band was quick to step into the...
Well, I was about to tell you to tune into the tax-hike briefing, which was about to get underway, like, five minutes ago. But then the damnedest thing happened: As the briefing was getting going, there was much giggling. Much guffawing. Then, the briefing stopped. Then, the mayor interrupted and...
It wasn't Kevin Smith's proudly rude series of films-as-dick-jokes that brought him fame among the masses. It was a bad customer service experience. You remember: Southwest Airlines designated him a "passenger of size" and kicked him off an Oakland-to-Burbank flight. One assumes the Southwest staff had not seen much of...

Three months back I directed your attention to Led Zeppelin's March '75 shows at the Dallas Convention Center, a long-time favorite. Till today I hadn't heard any of the band's earlier or later Dallas dates, stretching from March 28, 1970, to April 1, 1977. But on the occasion of Robert...
According to my handy Frommer's statewide guidebook, Houston is "not usually considered a tourist destination." Sounds like the folks doing the considering don't let their guts lead, since -- as I discovered on my first trip there this weekend -- Houston is an incredibly exciting town for eaters. I'm sure...
South by Southwest was quite good to Dallas ex-pats Neon Indian this year--and, turns out, it was even better than the on-the-street buzz the band was getting that week in Austin may have originally implied. Today, Billboard reports that Neon Indian has signed a new record deal--the result of "speculation...
A Hickory, North Carolina restaurant is mounting a significant challenge to Bavarian Grill's status as "Best German Restaurant in America," a title bestowed in an online competition. Plano's Bavarian Grill last year beat out more than 400 German restaurants nationwide to claim its crown in a contest sponsored by an...
