Before I get into the meat, the Quaker City Night Hawks are from Fort Worth.
You may do with that what you wish.
The meat:
I read an item about AOMG. Then I noticed they would be at The Bomb Factory in Dallas (2713 Canton St,75226)
on April 12 at 8:00 p.m. Imagine my surprise when I looked up a video for Jay Park, a primo act of the music posse AOMG, and actually liked it. He is a cross between Justin Timberlake and Usher, only in the Korean version. Granted I have only watched one video. The esteemed source, Wikipedia, says Jay Park used to breakdance with his friends in Edmonds, Washington growing up.
Thank you for your patience. I hope to return, eventually, to the blogging habit.

Friends In Low Places? Tei Shi, And, Movies!
What fun it is bringing a crowd!
With Garth Brooks' (bio here) slate of concerts at the American Airlines Center in September, you can bring all your current relatives, including buying tickets for those ancestors who have passed away!
Mr. Brooks will invade Dallas with 7 concerts.
For something not Garth Brooks-y, try the Gorilla vs Bear "5" concert at the Granada theater, Friday July 31. (The theater is at 3524 Greenville Ave., Dallas, TX 75206. Their phone is 214-824-9933.) While there you can catch Tei Shi (music here), who was actually born in Argentina, and whose real name is Valerie. If you call her Valerie, she may not respond.
By the way, the concert is sold out. My only suggestion is bring a gorilla or a bear & they may let you in.
You can chase the concert all the way to Austin, for they will be there next.
Quick Movie Rundown: (however delayed...)
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl: Bizarre, also smartly done.
Trainwreck: See how a vapid woman becomes less vapid. (Sounds whiny, but it was an entertaining movie).
Worth watching, if only for the random things that come out of Amy Schumer's mouth.
The End.
thanks!

Soon You'll Be Saying, "Heck Yeah, I Made My Own Soap"
Say "Laura Ingalls Wilder" if you consider yourself an "urban homesteader." A local market/quirky things place has unveiled the Urban Homesteading 2015 Summer series. (Who hasn't had a secret urge to pickle??)
This Sunday, (June 28) make YOUR OWN soap from 2 until 4 p.m. (Not only will you feel accomplished for taking a shower! you'll feel extra cool for making the darn soap.) The workshop is at Maker's Connect, 10242 E. Northwest Highway, Dallas, Texas.
With a name like Lee-Lonn... well I'm not sure what the rest of that is, but it was fun to write. Take a listen to the Houston singer's song. (The link is for a Youtube video). His syrupy voice will at least make you hungry for some pancakes!
If you want to read an interview with Mr. Lonn himeself, click here. (From the Houston Press.)
Soon Dallas will bring new meaning to the words 'hot flash.'
Thanks for the patience!!!

Four Things To Do This Memorial Day, Because I Could Not Think Of Five
Here are some oh-so useful things to do:
1. Go on an adventure: Call an old friend, go somewhere you haven't been, binge-watch reality television.. (for kicks try Weather Nation.
It's not reality television.)
2. Do a digital cleanup: Delete old accounts you don't need, delete photos you no longer need.
Your storage space, and the Geek Squad will thank you!
3. Plan your next trip to Recycle Revolution. The Dallas one-stop-shop takes a bunch of items that you can't dump in the usual recycling bin, such as electronics, VHS tapes, and styrofoam. You can take the ex-valuables to: 7600 Sovereign Row, Dallas, TX 75247. Their number is 214-566-3025.
4. Plan your Tuesday! Due to an overwhelming amount of barbeque events, family gatherings, and yes, I know it's MEMORIAL day, but, even alcohol-- Tuesday often gets forgotten about. Don't ignore poor little Tuesday this year!!!
See you in about a month.
You're welcome.

Don't Photo Bomb At The Bomb Factory, And Sweet Rides
I know, I know... you're hungry for more Erykah Badu.
Catch her tomorrow night at the Bomb Factory, a new Dallas venue. It is at 2713 Canton Street ... in Deep Ellum, but you knew that!
While not an entirely new concert location, the local alternative weekly states Badu's appearance will be the venue's "first show since the '90s." Good thing, because Erykah Badu's co-performer Sarah Jaffe, was a 'young pup' for most of the 90s.
If that show is not your thing, what's better than viewing "ultraluxury" (according to the Dallas Morning News) cars at the Dallas Auto Show.
While it may not be the Detroit Auto Show, you can still smell the "fresh" new car smell. At the Kay bailey hutchison Convention Center, 650 S. Griffin St, today until Sunday.

February 28 happens to be World Sword Swallower day.
If you mosey to Ripley's Believe it or Not museum (601 East Palace Pkwy, Grand Prairie TX 75050, 972-263-2391), at 2:28 pm mind you, you may witness such a feat! Leaves a lump in my throat.
New topic: The Districts will keep you occupied. They are a--dare I say--unique band.
The End. thanks!
