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.
Does Net Neutrality Loss = The New Ghetto
As a growing small media company owner, some of you know of my involvement in lobbying for Net Neutrality, which is the continued absence of regulation in regards to the Open Internet and something everyone should agree on and embrace. This critical issue will be decided, as called by FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski yesterday. In the grand scheme of things, this affects all of us so today I’m encouraging all of you to learn about and support Net Neutrality and to encourage the FCC Board, located below, to vote against a Tier System on the Open Internet on December 21, 2010.
3rd Annual Jingle Bash Shopping Dash
For the third year in a row, the Jingle Bash, Dallas’ premiere handmade holiday shopping event will offer up the handmade apparel, bags, jewelry, home décor, accessories, art, pottery and more from over 50 hand-picked artists, crafters and designers. They’ve outgrown the Sons of Hermann location and organizers say The Palladium’s Lone Star Room (within the Gilley’s event complex just south of downtown Dallas) gives vendors more room.
Beginning next week
The weekly newsletter will hit inboxes on Tuesdays. We’ve taken this week to get some system and maintenance tasks completed.
Happy Memorial Day! Thank you and see you next week.
A Tribute to Rusty Weir
To know Texas legend Rusty Wier was to love him. One of the most prolific and colorful Texas artists ever to grace the stage, Wier was described as “the World’s Greatest Saloon Entertainer” and was best known for the track Don’t It Make You Wanna Dance, a version of which was recorded by Bonnie Raitt and became a hit when it appeared on the soundtrack of Urban Cowboy.
Art in the Hood VIII Studio Tour
Each year at this time, this group of established artists whose works are sought after nationally and internationally open their studios for demonstrations and discussion. Located in the Southeast Dallas area within close proximity, there’s nothing “hoody” about it.
The piece shown is by Leila Strauch of Brazil. Strauch learned her craft while sitting quietly in church studying the stained glass as a child. Her Mother would reward her quietness by taken her around to the church windows afterward so she could study the glass pieces in detail.

Western Swing Dance
After having listened to KNON and the ups and downs of public radio music in Dallas, I have to admit every time I listen to the new station, KXT, it sort of feels like I’m cheating on KNON who’s been as loyal as an old porch dog.
