| Darius Rucker Billy Bob's Texas | Sat., October 11 | Fort Worth | |
What is up with Billy Bob's? For years it was world-famous for showcasing country and Western acts exclusively. But things have changed. A while ago, I wrote about Bret Michaels playing there, which kind of makes sense. But now the stage of this legendary honky-tonk will be "graced" by none... More >> |

| Tour of Gymnastics Superstars American Airlines Center | Sat., October 11 | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
I don't care who you are--if you watched the Olympic gymnastic competition you wanted to squash He Kexin like a bug when Nastia Liukin got silver after tying on uneven bars. And your eyes welled up with happy tears when Luikin and Shawn Johnson went one-two in the all-around competition. No?... More >> |

| The Walkmen, The Little Ones Pontiac Garage at House of Blues | Sat., October 11 | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
Somber, dark, sinister and gloomy are just a few of the adjectives most commonly used to describe the music of The Walkmen, one of New York City's most interesting indie rock bands.
Problem is, the group's frontman, Hamilton Leithauser, can't stand the gothic trappings that seem to pop up in... More >> |

| Don Juan the Vampire Teatro Dallas |
Sat., October 11, 8:15pm more dates/times |
Park Cities | |
Tis the season for mummies, werewolves and vampires, and thankfully, we have Teatro Dallas to help us along with our imaginations. Every year, Teatro celebrates the Day of the Dead with a creepy, scary show that works out oh-so perfectly with Halloween. Forget your usual trick-or-treating or... More >> |

| Allison V. Smith's Hall Pass Barry Whistler Gallery | Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Sat., September 13 until Sat., October 18 | Northeast Dallas | |
Allison V. Smith's Hall Pass, a show of color photographs to debut at Barry Whistler Gallery on Friday, is an excavation of Texas schools that still look, smell and feel like schools. The water fountain, the teacher's globe, the roll-down map: In these iconic images Smith's camera channels all... More >> |

| Ellis, Luna and Ziegler Craighead-Green Gallery | Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Sat., September 6 until Sat., October 18 | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
You want to get people interested in the artwork you create? Become a master of difficult mediums. Take painter Brad Ellis. The man works with encaustic for crying out loud. Yeah, that's pigmented hot wax, in laymen's terms...and it's freakin' hard to just slap some of it up on a canvas with... More >> |

| It's A Mad, Mad, World DECORAZON gallery | Every week Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Thu., October 9 until Tue., November 11 | Oak Cliff & South Dallas | |
If only Alice had been more patient with the Mad Hatter, she may have found the key to making sense of Wonderland. This was certainly the case for artist James Gasowski. A colorful life shared between California, New York and Europe taught him that the world is a mixed-up place, but... More >> |

| Dex & Julie Sittin' in a Tree The Circle Theatre |
Every week Thursday from Thu., September 18 until Sat., October 18, 7:30pm more dates/times |
Fort Worth | |
Nathan used to walk me home from school. He was a cute blond-headed boy, and he was sweet to me. I wrote my first love letter to him--I had to ask mom how to spell "love." But the sleaze-ball was two-timing me with that little twit, Emily. How could he do such a thing? Oh, he doesn't know what... More >> |

| Blending the Old and the New: Quilts by Paul D. Pilgrim Irving Arts Center | Daily from Sat., September 20 until Sun., November 9 | Irving & Las Colinas | |
Despite the general preconception, quilting isn't just for little old ladies. It's a labor of love for anyone who attempts the craft--after two years, thousands of little squares, a countless number of spools of thread, and probably a pint of my own blood, sweat and tears, I made a quilt that,...

| Denise Fleming: Painting With Paper Irving Arts Center | Daily from Sat., October 11 until Sun., December 28 | Irving & Las Colinas | |
The 1998 film Can't Hardly Wait is like Kevin Bacon: Everything in the universe can be connected to it in six degrees or less. For example, three of the film's leading actors went on to star on Six Feet Under together. And you know the Judd Apatow flick Forgetting Sarah Marshall? The film's... More >> |

| Hanging Out with Boys and Little Cloths Latino Cultural Center | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Fri., September 12 until Sat., November 29 | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
If you've seen the movie Top Gun you're no doubt familiar with the Kenny Loggins song "Playing With The Boys," which perfectly scores that film's classic beach volleyball scene. It also happened to be the first thing I thought of when confronted with the title of the Latino Cultural Center's... More >> |

| Dallas Portfolio Exchange The Magnolia Theatre | Daily from Thu., September 11 until Tue., October 14 | East Dallas & Lakewood | |
I'm a little confused. Take 12 photographers, have them submit "13 identical, archival, photographic prints from one single image," share the first dozen with the other photographers, hang up the final one and that's the Dallas Portfolio Exchange? I think with a little more tweaking and drama,... More >> |

| Moslah Shriners' 66th Annual Shrine Circus Will Rogers Memorial Center |
Sun., October 12, 2:30pm more dates/times |
Fort Worth | |
Though I shudder at the thought of clowns, I love the circus. Tigers, elephants, high-wire acts, cotton candy, pony rides...and it all goes to a good cause. Well, normally it all goes into the owner's pocket, but the Moslah Shriners' 66th Annual Shrine Circus--put on by the guys that wear the... More >> |

| The Mummy's Claw Dallas Children's Theater |
Every week Sunday from Sun., October 12 until Sat., November 1, 1:30pm more dates/times |
Northwest Dallas | |
When the days grow shorter and the leaves rattle on the trees, while pumpkins begin to appear beside front doors to await their violent, eviscerated ends, lots of people put on spooky seasonal shows calculated to appeal to those who love this macabre time of the year (anyone who has any sense...

| Andy Hanson Exhibit Music Hall at Fair Park | Daily from Wed., June 4 until Sun., October 19 | Fair Park | |
Go ahead and scramble to sneak a peek at Mylie Cyrus' so-called side-boob (whatever) in that Annie Leibovitz portrait all over the racks. Dallas has their own artistic exhibition of celebrity upon which to feast the eyes. The Music Hall at Fair Park showcases the work of local photographer... More >> |
