a little weekend for your weekend
i’m laying low this weekend and enjoying some peace and quiet. probably will head out to lake texoma sometime to visit with my uncle and enjoy the outdoors! but if you’re looking for some fun stuff to do…
artfest is going on at fairpark starting tonight and going through sunday with tons of art, music and family fun.
summerfest is also starting out at the gaylord texan - it runs all the way through august.
for a little nightlife, on saturday black tie dynasty is playing at the granada theater and on sunday the kills along with dax riggs are playing at the house of blues.
also on sunday the W hotel nightclub, ghostbar, is hosting a memorial day soiree with special guests to ring in summer.
that’s all from me for now! hope you all have a safe and awesome memorial day weekend!!

so i’m just now getting around to posting my “weekend fun times” from last weekend. here goes…
friday was the wildflower festival in richardson, it was so much fun! we saw loverboy and bat benatar. pat was amazing i really had no expectations, just wanted to have fun, but man she’s still got it! the pics didn’t end up so great, so sorry about not having any.
saturday was definitely an adventure! i went with some girlfriends to the assassination city roller derby. it was in mesquite, tx, at a local skating rink. the first bout was inter-league with the bombshell brigade vs. the lone star assassins. for the second bout, the deadly kennedys beat the central arkansas rockin’ renegade. the halftime (not sure if that’s the right term…) entertainment was fun, first was the “urban glow”

weekend fun times III
sorry for the delay in posting, but my internet is down at home so i have to find time before work to post…so here goes!
i made it out to taste addison with a few friends on friday. ran into the beautiful nicole who made sure that we got the extra special treatment in vip…nice to have great friends in good places! it was a really nice vibe; lots of people, delicious food, and good music. i surprisingly liked switchfoot a lot…even though it’s not really my thing, the band was really energetic and put on a good show. i’m sure gavin degraw did a good job, but we left mid-set cause i was so tired (lame, i know).
what’s a festival without a turkey leg?!

a little art
just wanted to share a couple of my favorite artists of “now” whom i’ve been fortunate enough to have seen their exhibitions:
christopher lee (Kid Robot Exhibition, San Francisco, June 2005)
antony micallef (Los Angeles, Courtesy of Lazarides Gallery, September 2007)
Really great stuff, though totally different styles. And, that Machine Gun Head sculpture? Ozzy Osborne bought it for a cool $750,000. Just in case you were wondering.
Christopher’s stuff is a little more fun and bright - I just love it. Stephen and I bought our first original art piece from his exhibition during our honeymoon in San Francisco (so I am a little biased).
Anyway, hope you enjoy!
