tonight in dallas - wednesday edition
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”

radiohead live in dallas
i had so much going on last weekend, and i haven’t gotten to download all my pics yet but i just couldn’t pass this up. the radiohead show on sunday was amazing - one of the best live performances i’ve ever seen. gorilla vs. bear posted some of the mp3’s of the show, you can listen to them here and also see the video for “you and whose army.” on radiohead not for profit, you can download the entire set. my personal favorite was idioteque. here are some photos, also courtesy of gvb. i’ll post mine, along with video asap. enjoy!
happening in dallas this weekend
alrighty, another fun-filled weekend coming up! tonight i’m headed to the richardson wildflower! arts & music festival to see pat benatar play. since i’m tagging along with some girlfriends, i didn’t know much about the fest until i looked it up - there are some really good bands playing out there! tonight’s lineup is loverboy, eve 6, le freak, pat benatar and then everclear - blast from the past much?! but then tomorrow is america, blue oyster cult and the guess who! too bad i can’t make it for that night, but someone should go and tell me how it is!
tomorrow i’m headed to ikea to round up the rest of my baskets for the closet. saturday night i’m going to my first ever roller derby! the assassination city roller derby girls are playing against arkansas and i’ll be there to support them in their bout. the after parties i hear are pretty fun and are usually held at lee harvey’s so come on up! go to their site for more info on tickets, bouts, and parties. this should definitely be a good time! also on saturday night, kyle caldwell and the astonishing wonder featuring the kick-back kid are playing at alexandre’s starting at 10 pm. they are a riot and you will definitely have a good time. but if you’re not into that, tulsa local band congress of a crow is playing at the lakewood bar and grill.
sunday funday!! radiohead!! yes, it’s finally here, and i’ll be heading to the superpages.com center to enjoy the show (seriously, that name is so lame, i’ll still call it the smirnoff for a while). tickets sold out almost immediately, so if you wanted to go and you didn’t get tix in time, call me….and i’ll give you a rundown of how awesome the show is! oh that’s mean, but really, i’m sure there will be lots of scalpers out there. i’ll have pics and all that good stuff next week.
hope you all have a good weekend and maybe i’ll see you around town!

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?!

dfest rumor mill

like i told you all last week, there was a lot of stuff going on in dallas over the weekend! i managed to take in as much as i could…

after watching the band for a bit, i made it up to house of dang for their little soirée and got some super cute new earrings…i have a pic somewhere, i’ll post it later.
