big weekend
there is just so much going on this weekend i can’t keep up!
first and foremost, fashion at the park starts tomorrow!
“From New York, Milan, Paris, London and more, all roads lead to NorthPark Center October 10-16. Fashion at the Park, presented by Cadillac, showcases the best of the fall 2008 collections, all of which can be found at NorthPark Center stores.”
this will be the best display of fashion in dallas, and includes such designers as roberto cavalli, carolina hererra and oscar de la renta. some of the shows are already selling out, so get your tickets!
also this weekend is the ou/texas “red river rivalry” game at the cotton bowl. like most fans, you probably won’t be actually going to the game. if you’re looking for a good place to watch, american airlines center is hosting a huge watch party in the at&t plaza. the best part? it’s free! they will have concessions as well and you can bring a chair if you like. if that’s not your scene, there is definitely no lack of sports bars to watch in - just remember that the game starts at 11 am! so pace yourself, there’s a whole lotta day after that.
what makes a rivalry football game even better? cupcakes! (bet that’s not what you were thinking) sprinkles cupcakes has special “longhorn vanilla” and “big red velvet” cupcakes to go with your team. and to top it all off, proceeds from the cupcakes will be donated to children’s medical center dallas and children’s medical research institute at the OU health science center, respectively.
these, along with all the concerts this weekend, should be enough to keep you busy! see you around town…

it’s not usual that there is a lot i have going on during the week, but tonight is especially exciting because there are so many fun things happening! i will be heading to the ranger’s game tonight at 7 - this will be my first time to experience the “suite” life and i’m looking forward to it…now if they can only beat those indians again…
also tonight is the cavern’s anniversary party! it’s free and there will be food from daddy jack’s and lots of music. it’s on lower greenville between richmond and ross.
and last but NOT least - french kicks are playing tonight at the granada theater. they are such a great band and if you haven’t heard them, check it out!! tickets i believe are still only $10. the granada is also on lower greenville, the show starts at 9 and you will not be disappointed.
i’m definitely trying to make it up to the show after the game. hope to see you there!!

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”
