Poetic Valentine
we can’t tell you how many times we’ve heard someone try to explain the restaurant’s location to a newbie: “You know Munger and Gaston? Well, go about a block east and a bock south, across the street from the playground.” The Garden Café has long been one of Dallas’ not so secret secrets for lunch and breakfast but everyone once in a while they open for dinner on special occasions like Valentines and it’s BYOB.

Lakewood Theater
Burlesque Comedy Show
Remember the I Love Lucy skit when she was in burlesque costume trying to break into the movies in a movie scene– my favorite part was when the star (not Lucy) was shot with a gun and Lucy took the opportunity to pretend she was shot to get the attention of the director and producer. Although it didn’t work out, she got back at them by writing her name on the bottom of her shoe so viewers would know who she was. Hold that thought and magnify The Amour Show performance to the Nth degree.

CLICK, CLACK, MOO
Dear Mommy and Daddy,
We want to go to this.
Sincerely,
Your Kids.
As a father of two young boys who took their story time seriously, nothing made bedtime more enjoyable than when they chose one of the books from the Click, Clack, Moo series. These Animal Farm-meets-Gary Larson titles are genius in their wonderful humor and hilarious artwork. Their apparent simplicity makes you think “damn, I wish I would’ve wrote this,” but the fact that you can discover something new to laugh at every time you read the books reveals what masterpieces they really are.
