Dallas Theological Seminary is Spreading the Gospel in Chinese

By Robert Wilonsky
The Dallas Theological Seminary this fall starting offering courses in Chinese, though only online -- for now. Says the DTS here, it wants to offer its "language-based theological education to Chinese-speaking people," since, ya know, they do speak the "most spoken" language in the world. Which makes sense, strictly speaking...

Remembering DJ Frantic

By Jesse Hughey
Fran "DJ Frantic" Erck's first club gig wasn't supposed to happen at all. He'd only started spinning records two years earlier, after he'd grown bored of his videogames and after his friend Pat "Phat-1" Johnson had persuaded him to get a secondhand set of turntables. Johnson tried to convince the...

Can Nolan Ryan Save the Texas Rangers? Again?

By Richie Whitt
The Texas Rangers have demons. Demons they desperately need to exorcise, beginning in spring training at Surprise, Arizona. Most are self-spawned. All unwelcome. But the gnarly, persistent, debilitating demons remain nonetheless. Through the years they've manifested in peculiar places such as Roger Moret's trance and Jose Canseco's noggin and Kenny...

Peace Out

By Jennifer Elaine-Davis
For Valentine's Day, you probably get roses. Roses are a lovely gift; they're traditional, beautiful, fragrant…the list goes on. So don't get me wrong—I love roses. They are in no way an Oscar-nominated screenplay, though. That's what Marsha Mason got from her husband, Neil Simon, for Valentine's Day. He even...

Ask a Mexican

By Gustavo Arellano
Dear Mexican: As everyone knows, dogs seem to reflect their master's personality. Likewise, the breeds invented by a nation say a lot about that nation. Germans bred the German shepherd and the Rottweiler: smart, loyal, faithful, yet a little cold and not the kind of dogs you want to piss...

By Richie Whitt
The official announcement won’t come on NFL Network until around 3 p.m., but I just got my grubby lil’ hands on this year’s Pro Bowl teams and – s’rnuff – it’s dominated by your Dallas Cowboys. Seven starters. Eleven players. The biggest Cowboys’ representation since 1993. The starters: Tight end...

The Thrills

By Lee Zimmerman
The Thrills' 2003 debut, So Much for the City, was a fanciful homage to the California myth, as filtered through the Day-Glo haze of wistful '70s euphoria. Its playful imagery summoned endless vistas of surf and sand, idealized and admired from a vantage point somewhat distant and distinct. It's not...

Hard Knock, Creepy Life in The Orphanage

By Jim Ridley
Having a child destroys your immunity to horror, real or imagined. Before the blessed event, you could laugh off The Exorcist, The Omen or any of a thousand gory shockers with some wide-eyed tyke as either the prey or the spawn of Beelzebub. Afterward you can't even see the baby...

Suffer the Children

By Todd Spivak
"I find myself in a very uncomfortable position," says baby-faced 38-year-old Somerville Independent School District Superintendent Charles Camarillo, clutching his elbows one recent morning while seated at a conference table inside his office. When the San Antonio native accepted his first-ever job as a district superintendent two years ago, he...

Headache Hotel and Other Dallas City Council SUPs and WTFs

By Sam Merten
I've yet to attend a city council meeting I didn't enjoy, and yesterday's was no exception. How can one not feel satisfied after bearing witness to important votes on the convention center hotel and gas drilling, a council member admitting to witnessing a drug deal in progress and doing nothing...

Barnaby the Scribbler

By Noah W. Bailey
Not only does SMU art professor Barnaby Fitzgerald have an old-timey name, he also paints the type of old-school broads you might find in a Greek mythology textbook, lounging around eating apples with some naked dudes and minotaurs. His latest exhibit, Barnaby Fitzgerald:…complexions of the avatars…, collects a number of...

Cowboys’ and Mavericks’ Premature Evacuations Disappoint

By Richie Whitt
What have we done to deserve this? I mean, other than subsisting as a shallow, materialistic glob of humanity more obsessed with fake boobs than genuine heart. Other than being soulless, choking off Deep Ellum, tearing down the historic Hard Rock building and orchestrating Trinity River genocide. Other than being...

Seated behind a folding table in the small lounge at Lee Harvey's, next to the Ms. Pac-Man/Galaga arcade game, Mark Griffin is flipping through a book of CDs, trying to pick the next song when two 30-something guys walk in, halt in their tracks and stare at him for a...

Jay-Z

By Michael Roberts
American Gangster is considerably better than 2006's lackluster Kingdom Come, if only because it returns Jay-Z to his criminal comfort zone. However, it still falls short of his finest material. The disc feels more like the sort of Hollywood production that inspired it—a star vehicle assembled by skilled craftsmen—than the...

The Quarter in Addison

By Merritt Martin
Some proprietors are meant to be bar owners and some are meant to run restaurants. I'd venture that Rudy Delgado and Alex Vest should open up a sports bar and leave the French Quarter-themed eatery to someone else. As it is now, the two concepts collide inside a loud, dark,...
