Drop off Textiles for Recycle and benefit Heart House Dallas
Dude, get rid of it! Did you know that 2.5 billion lbs. of textiles are recycled every year? If you want to be authentic Saturday, April 23rd, drop off clothes, shoes, belts, handbags, toys and stuffed animals, sheets and other gently owned soft goods between 10 am - 5 pm. We know it means spending a little time dealing with closets and drawers first, but The Earth will thank you - and it’s a drive-through.

Trees in Deep Ellum hosts classic experience
The club scene is the natural place to revel in contrary and Trees will host a concert by the Orchestra of New Spain, including works by a 17th century Italian composer, who happens to be a woman. Contrarian Isabella Leonarda (shown), (September 1620 – 25 February 1704) entered the Collegio de Sant’Orsola, an Ursuline convent in Novara at the age of 16 where she created more than 200 compositions until her death at the age of 84.

Deep Ellum Art Walk 2011
Let’s get this out of the way before we tell you about one of our favorite art walks. After attending a meeting on the proposed steetscapes last week, I heard the same thing that’s said every time there is talk about renovations and restoration of Deep Ellum - “we don’t want to be Uptown!”.
Okay one last time with feeling, Deep Ellum will never be Uptown, Bishop Arts or the Miracle Mile. It will progress, it will mature and it will grow into what it is supposed to be as a major player in the Central Business District and we need to accept that it will never be what it was when we were standing in line in the 80’s. With nearby housing in Treemont, Munger Place, Bryan Place, Junius Heights, Lakewood and Lake Highlands filled with younger boomers and older Gen Xr’s who want good dining and shopping to go with our funk, music, preservation of Deep Ellum buildings and memories, change is inevitable, however we can be influential in how it plays out by supporting the businesses and staying involved.

Angry Dog
After 20 years, I’m not sure if we go to Angry Dog out of habit or because it’s the best place to get good and cheap State Fair food without going to the Fair. They have quesadillas, fried pickles, mushroom caps, burgers, dogs, nachos, chili, stuffed jalapeno’s - well, you’ll get what we mean when you go. Besides, we like eating with a mix of roadies, carnies, gamers and la-di-da’s. Don’t get us wrong, they have yummie burgers, tuna steak sandwiches and a nice selection of salads and a chicken vegetable soup that will warm up your Angry Momma, whenever you finally show up with it.
Over 100 bottled beers and 20 on tap.

Twisted Root Burger
Definitely worth going for the atmosphere and the delicious choices that are more unusually designed and/or exotic meats piled high. The hamburger is well, a nice hamburger.

Solving DISD Budget Crisis Will Take Common Sense Solutions
In reviewing the wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth over whose fault the current school debt crisis is in DISD, we can’t depend on the State. Citizens and Corporate Dallas needs to own up and quash the talk about firing or paying off teachers to leave which would raise the classroom ratio to 35/1. It’s time we get real and do what should have been done a long time ago in regards to sales tax, property tax and privatization.
After thinking about it, it’s awfully coincidental that our public school failings, both fiscally and behaviorally, began when helicopter parents, lawyers and overly sensitive public school administrators jacked the Six Grade Crossing Guard.

AllGood Super Bowl Saturday
Mike Snyder says everyone’s a VIP at this Full-Tilt horn-backed R & B Dynamo that will put some Shake in your Shaker, some Break in your Breaker and some Quake in your Quaker Dinner and Dance !!! THIS is the way to Party - AllGood Style !!!
The Royal Rhythmaires sing the Blues, R&B and Roots Music. Rockabilly On-line says “The first time I heard The Royal Rhythmaires I instantly fell in love! This rhythm and blues band out of Fort Worth, Texas brings back the soulful sound of the 40′s and 50′s with a horn-infused power that really sets them apart. Focusing more on the music and less on technology they evoke such feeling that it is impossible not to be moved by them.”
