Work Your Butt Off... And For $35 You Can See George Quartz

It is highly inappropriate to give you a New Year's message when it is January 9. So here's my arresting proverb:
Be grateful. Find small things to be grateful for.
Go work your butt off this year.

While a confusing all-encompassing event broadcasting "culture," "fashion," food, art and music, (we're OK with the last 3), Artopia prances into Dallas Saturday January 17. Luckily, the venue is Centennial Hall at Fair Park. The address is 1001 Washington St, Dallas TX 75210. Tickets begin at 35.00, but then they rise.

The good news is, sometime between 8 pm and 11 pm, you can catch George Quartz. In the interest of full disclosure, the Dallas artist had a blog called La Maladie Tropical. Mysteriously, there have been no posts since about four years ago.


Tropically, see you in about a month!!
Thanks for the 2015 patience.

Beware of Cool Cones. And, Was That a Jalapeno-hot Movie, Or a Jalapeno-hot Concert?

Got you covered with cones, music and a movie:

Delicious ice cream is only a few steps away at Beth Marie's old fashioned Ice Cream.

Reminder: you're not a Texan until you've tried Frito Pie (online, the price is 4.45).

Phox.. phox, are they a fox? What do they do, you ask?
They sing!!!
In particular, if you go to 2704 Elm St. in Dallas, Texas tomorrow night (June 28 at precisely 10 pm), you will hear them sing. They hail from mid or mid-Southern Wisconsin and have used their small town background to inspire their thoughtful gaggle of tunes.

The movie Hellion is gracing the texas theatre (historic texas theatre). Now. You are free to watch over the weekend.

The Jalapeno Half is tomorrow. I know this is a good run for you if you like jalapenos. Or if you like anything jalapeno-flavored.
Or, have ever seen a jalapeno in the store.

May you have a great weekend. (And great Fourth of July!)

Livin' On A Prayer ... Whoa Oh

The blog is 100 percent unfiltered.

Remember: there is a Bon Jovi concert tomorrow at 7:30 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. I am not the hugest fan of Bon Jovi, but it's neat that they are still active with concerts.

In case you want more info on Slippery When Wet--don't know why you would--here is the link.

THE END.
