"Index" Of The Dallas Music Scene?

There is a festival in Dallas happening on October 18 And 19, The Index Music Fest (for short).
When I checked the list of attendees, I had only heard of 3 groups / singers. As you may / may not know, Deep Ellum used to be a hotbed of all that is musical genius during the 80s and for a while after.

Just because I have only heard of three groups, doesn't mean the other ones are not decent.
So go ahead, plunk down $39.

You can also go to the State Fair of Texas, which starts today.

A Big, 'Big Tex' Thank you for reading a little Texas blog!

Kimbra, I Am Jealous Of Your Bangs

Hello, hello.

Here is a link to a Rolling Stone story about Kimbra. I decided to post it because it is well-written. And I am re-capping some of the people I have talked about.

I blogged about her a few months back.
Kimbra is a chick whose bangs I am jealous of.

THE END
I reckon there oughtta be a big Big Tex thank you to all you folks who've been reading.

A Cowboy, Glasses, And What's Hot And What's Not: Completely Unscreened

Hello

This cowboy

works at the State Fair. He helps to direct traffic and serves as an Information Specialist (well, that is what I call it). Even though there are thousands of cars that pass by every day, he is nice to everyone. It can be a challenge. (I do not know his name).
Big Tex would be pleased.

I was wearing my glasses while walking earlier. Just walking outside briefly.
My glasses are big and clunky.
Everyone looks slightly blurry, when I have them on--just a little drawback.
I saw a neighbor coming down the street. My first thought was, "is she going to make fun of my glasses?" I don't know why the self-consciousness was there.
Just lovely.

A continuing and not necessarily ending segment, What's Hot/Not:
What's Hot:
Going to the movies
Looking up directions before you leave the house or apt.(Or, using your phone if you must).

What's Not:
Over-texting pretty much anyone (These are some quick rules. I'm sure that more exist).

Not tipping at any place or during any activity that requires a tip. (Again, some rules of etiquette. However, I just found them. You may find a better site).

Ads that state they offer "Part Time" work for "students," and then state that they are for customer service or telemarketing.

Goodbye,

Thank you for reading the blog.

Subdural Hematoma And, "Stuck Here. Even A Penny Will Help" And State Fair Photo

Hi and Welcome:
I hit my head on the outside rearview mirror the other day. I was standing up after putting air in my tires. I thought I was going to get a subdural hematoma.
But I did not, because I am still alive.

Recently I saw a man standing on the corner along the access road to 635. His sign read, in big block letters, "Stuck Here. Even A Penny Will Help."
He was maybe in his 40s, with graying hair and a moustache. It was early afternoon.
I decided to give him a dollar, and as soon as I stuck my hand out of the car, the light changed.
I did get to give it to him.
But I never found out why he is "stuck here."

Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey got into a fight. It was during an American Idol taping.
(Link is from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer).
Oh, no.
