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!)

Ready, Set... Mourn JFK (4 Things That Weren't Already On Your List)

Dallas is getting ready for the anniversary of John F. Kennedy's death, on Friday. All of the getting into a tizzy by the city aside (after all, this event only happens every 50 years), there is MUCH you can do to memorialize JFK's assassination.
All of these activities are approved by me:
1. Visit the Texas Theatre, where Lee Harvey Oswald was seen meandering in after his crime. Ok sneaking not meandering.
2. Hear the son of Jack Ruby's lawyer (the man who killed Lee H. Oswald) at the Allen Public Library, Friday. It is in Allen, TX.
Winston Smith will begin speaking at 3 p.m. It is in the Civic Auditorium. I was told today that the coordinator of speakers for the library "put a lot of effort into" planning this and other JFK events. Please get there early. Besides, would you want to keep the son of Jack Ruby's attorney waiting?

3. Visit Love Field, where Kennedy flew in before he was killed. There is lots of artwork, so look at that... or just ask nosy questions!
4. Scrounge up your best Jackie O. outfit at the likes of Target and TJ Maxx. Just because you want to look like Jackie O., doesn't mean you have to spend as much as she did.

THE END.

Get Cultured? Yes, In The OC

The heat may have been getting to some peoples' heads.

Here's a way to cool off your head, if need be:
Go to the Oak Cliff Cultural Center. It is next to the Texas Theatre, and its address is: 223 West Jefferson Blvd, Dallas, TX 75208. I don't know the hours, but you can find all that out by calling 214-670-3777.
The background is, I found a small flyer for this place among my stuff recently (I went to a photo exhibit).
I realized I hadn't been there in a while and decided you all should get the benefit of knowing about it.
The end.
Stay cool/ don't stay cool... It's up to you.
