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.

Disclose Yourself.. And, Are You Sure It's The Same Trailer?

Disclosure will be at the House Of Blues in Dallas tomorrow. This is sold out, (according to the Dallas Morning News!) but if you disclose a large amount of cash, I'm sure you can still go.
I listened to a couple (yes, a whopping 2!) songs online, and the verdict from me is: the dance-y duo is very mediocre. Nothing special, except for song #2, which was "You and Me."

And, on to greener pastures:

I recently learned about this artist: you've gotta admire someone who calls her album, Same Trailer, Different Park.
More on the trailer inhabiter. She is from outside of Dallas.

Got plans for July 17? Bring your poker face to this show. Maybe it'll be gyroscope day. More here.

Stay in your trailer if it's too cold.

Public Enemy At The Prophet Bar. Need I Say More?

Public Enemy at the Prophet Bar, 2548 Elm Street in Dallas, TX. This will be on December 29.
See if you can compete with everyone there by mouthing the lyrics better than they do.
Then
See what Flava Flav was like before he became a reality TV star.
I'm not a huge fan, but who could forget their iconic status?

The End,

Bootylicious Houstonian. And, Can You Run In Frigid Temps?

Houstonian Beyonce will be bringing her talent and No Longer Single Lady style to the American Airlines Center on Dec. 9. On the way home, you can whine about how Destiny's Child is no longer together.

The Dallas Marathon will be on Sunday.
It is going to be very cold. It is your chance to use your body as a physics experiment.


THE END.
(Stay hungry, Stay frigid).
Alice

UPDATE: The Dallas Marathon has been cancelled so you will not be able to perform your physics experiment.

The Lady In The Window & My First Blog Post.

hello:

The other day I was at school (Richland College), trying to do a quick transaction. The woman helping me was maybe in her 40s, with large glasses. This was a pretty quick, straightforward thing I had to do.

The area where she works is shielded by glass. So she was shielded by glass. I assume bulletproof. I always feel weird talking to people for long periods THROUGH GLASS.
In the middle of the transaction, she said,

"Are you ok?"
Me: "Yes."
"You seem like you're mad. At me."
Huh???

When she said this, the glass made her look amorphous. There is no good ending to this, except to say, it was very odd.

moving on...
I wrote about the Baptist Generals recently. I am re-reminding you, and also reminding you that they are from Denton, Texas. This would be the "hallowed music town" of Denton Texas.

Here is a link to my first blog post.
I mentioned that the blog was started in June 2007. It was actually started in July. The first blog post is from July 26, 2007. Eerie.

THE END.
Thanks,
Alice
