This blog is for those wanting to share videos and writings of things to see and do in Dallas, Texas. Everything from your favorite hole-in-the-wall bars to places to eat, museums and whatever else makes you enjoy living Dallas.
There is no better way to spent a beautiful spring day than a visit to the Nasher Sculpture Center. Enjoy the works of Picasso, Lichtenstein, Rodin, and many others. Beyond the Grasp: Sculpture Transcending the Physical is the current exhibition and will run through August 31, 2008.
Here is another heads up of an event you might want to make it out to see. LADYTRON is going to be playing with DATAROCK at the Palladium Ballroom on June 5th. I saw DATAROCK at South by Southwest last year, and I remember them putting on one hell of a show. Check out some of their videos.
There is going to be a Skate Jam on Saturday, May 24 hosted by The Party. Check out the fliers and the video below, which were posted on the Central Booking site.
I think the last time I put on a pair of roller skates was when I was like eight years old. Now it ain't gonna be pretty, but it's gonna be a whole lot of fun!
PPT is a local hip hop/funk/soul group that has been blowing up the Dallas scene for several years now. With the release of their new cd titled "Denglish," there will be plenty of opportunities to see what all the talk is about.
Here is a video of their cd release party at Tephejez with an interview with Tahiti from PPT, and several performances of tracks from the new cd. A big thank you to Tahiti for the interview!
The dates Tahiti mentions in the vid are for the month of April. I was a little late in getting this video up. Sorry. Check out their myspace for their upcoming shows: www.myspace.com/ppt3
This place is one of my favorites. There is always good live music and never any cover. A piano, a beautiful voice, and their specialty Sgt. Pepper Bloody Mary Martini are all that is needed for wonderfully relaxing night.
If you want some good music to listen to while you study for finals or kill time at work, then here are some free mix tapes from The Rub. They have a bunch of History of Hip Hop volumes on their site, and some really old school stuff from as far back as 1979 free to download. Those 90s mixes are straight up nostalgic, but the 80s mixes are equally awesome. I hope you enjoy these as much as I have.
When South by Southwest makes its way to Austin, it usually means one thing for the people in Dallas: ROAD TRIP! There are plenty of people, especially in Austin (damn dirty hipsters), who sound a little more ambivalent when talking about SXS. They will even tell you how disgusted they are with how commercial the festival has become. Although what they say may be true, with so much good music in one place it is hard to stay angry long.
If you are too broke to shell out the 100 plus dollars for wristbands to see some of the more popular acts, there are plenty of free shows in the area. Did i mention free alcohol? It may be Keystone, but it is free! A lot of parties are hosted by some magazine, alcohol company, new energy drink, or a combination of the three. All you have to do is go on-line and RSVP.
There was a whole bunch to see and not enough battery life on my camera, so this video is short and sweet.
Here are some pics. Only six actually. Damn battery!
