Cruel and Usual Punishment by Amy Silverstein

Cruel and Usual Punishment The man from California who called himself Old School seemed like a legitimate customer because he actually smoked the crack he purchased. That was Earnest Jones' test to make sure he wasn't selling to an informant. more >>


It's a Contest! Photograph Mary Suhm at City Hall and Win a Fabulous* Prize

I wanted you to know that I am still trying to find Mary Suhm at City Hall, and I need your help. Last week I made a movie based on my hunt for the former Dallas city manager, who is rumored still to be lurking somewhere in City Hall. It was a very bad movie. more >>

Goodnight Ned Go All Out for Circus-Themed Album Release Party by Aaron Ortega

Goodnight Ned Go All Out fo... As far as album-release parties go, Goodnight Ned are about to put themselves in a class of their own. The Dallas band isn't pulling out any stops, with plans to have clowns, fortune tellers, stilt walkers, jugglers and even juggling stilt-walkers. more >>

Beyonce and Jay Z at AT&T Stadium

For the first half of her and Jay Z's appearance at AT&T Stadium on Tuesday night, it looked like this show was all about Beyonce. Every time she was onstage, Bey's presence trumped that of anyone else in sight -- including the Greatest himself. more >>

Stock and Barrel's New America by Scott Reitz

Stock and Barrels New America Staring down at my plate at Jon Stevens' newly minted Stock and Barrel in the Bishop Arts District, it's hard not to conclude, suddenly and depressingly, that I got the shaft as a child.

An Interview with Matt McCallister, Who Might Lose It If You Ask for a Wedge Salad

As FT33, McCallister's farm-to-table restaurant in the Design District, attracts attention from the country's most respected food critics, it's also helping direct attention to the young, up-and-coming chefs who are working to transform a once-yawn-inducing dining scene. more >>

In Happy Christmas, Anna Kendrick is the Best at Being the Worst by Alan Scherstuhl

In Happy Christmas, Anna Ke... Uncomfortable-silence auteur Joe Swanberg has made a career of testing how much falseness you can strip out and still have a movie.

Is it Time to Bring the Curtain Down on Festival of Indie Theatres? by Elaine Liner

Is it Time to Bring the Cur... Like an old actor no longer able to remember his lines, maybe the Festival of Independent Theatres needs to be led gently out of the spotlight for good. The annual FIT fest, as it's redundantly known, was conceived 16 years ago to give small companies a chance to produce new work. more >>

At the Dallas Costume Shoppe, the Clothes Aren't the Only Vintage Goods

In front of a weathered old Singer sewing machine, in the middle of one of the oldest costumes shops in the South, 83-year-old Fortunato Mata sits surrounded by costumes from nearly every period and place in time. The Dallas Costume Shoppe has been outfitting big time Broadway bombshells in decadent silk, frat boys looking for vintage togas and everyone in between since the early 1900s, and Mata has been there for most of it. more >>
