| | | | | If Ebola House Is Funny, Why Not Breast Cancer House? C'mon! Lighten up! It has taken me a long while -- I was slow -- but I guess now I sort of get why some people think the "Ebola House" is funny. Sort of. Still working on it. Decorated for Halloween as an Ebola disaster area and located in a rich part of Dallas called "The Park Cities," the Ebola House strikes some people as funny because Ebola is such an exotic, distant, far-fetched phenomenon. more >> | | | | | | Remembering Evan Chronister, a Devoted Dallas Music Fan and Mentor by Eric Grubbs  Evan Chronister's name might not sound familiar to the average participant in the DFW music scene. He didn't play in a band. He didn't put on shows or put out records. He occasionally manned the turntables for the Lollipop Shoppe DJ night and would always create a stack of free mix CDs for it. But when word of his death was traded over texts and Facebook posts on Monday night, many hearts broke. And those hearts weren't just people who live around here. more >> | | | Dead Flowers Are the Bastard Children of Punk and Texas Blues Last year, Dead Flowers frontman Corey Howe had a pretty bold declaration about his band's future: "I would die if we're not on the road in the next six months." Though the band bought a van and had plenty of shirts, LPs and CDs to sell, they didn't hit the road in 2013. more >> | | | | | | DFW Chefs Are All Over Your TV Right Now, Including on Food Network's Kitchen Inferno by Amy McCarthy  If you needed any other reason to believe that the time for Dallas' varied and unique dining scene is finally starting to have the day in the sun it so deserves, turn on your television. Many of the city's best chefs, including Roe DiLeo, Patrick Stark, and (of course) John Tesar, are trying their hand at the celebrity chef life on various Food Network and Bravo properties, like Chopped and Cutthroat Kitchen. Now, Fort Worth chef Blaine Staniford, of acclaimed restaurant Grace, is throwing his hat into the reality TV ring. more >> | | | Bishop Cider Co. Promised to Bring Good Cider to Dallas and (Eventually, Almost) Delivered It was March 2013 when whispers of a cidery in Bishop Arts first slithered into the ears of thirsty Dallasites. Back then, in the middle of a Kickstarter blaze of glory, owner Joel Malone figured he'd be able to open his fledgling business a couple of months later and start rolling out as many barrels of homemade cider as the locals could drink. The city of Dallas, of course, had other ideas. more >> | | | | | | How John Wick Restored My Faith in Violent Movies by Stephanie Zacharek  There's too much violence in movies today -- too much of the wrong kind, though if you asked me what the "right" kind is, I would only be able to tell you that I know it when I see it. Chad Stahelski and David Leitch's John Wick -- in which Keanu Reeves plays a former hit man lured back to his old life by a savage murder -- is brutal as hell, a panoply of stabbings and shootings, stranglings and clubbings, that you almost certainly wouldn't want to take your mother to see, provided she isn't Ma Barker. But John Wick has stuck with me in ways I didn't expect, and it's rekindled my faith in violent action movies. more >> | | | Nightcrawler's Jake Gyllenhaal Aces Being an Everyday Media Monster Jake Gyllenhaal, not a particularly bulky guy to begin with, dropped 20 pounds or so to play a Los Angeles misfit who finds his calling as a freelance crime videographer in Dan Gilroy's nervy thriller Nightcrawler. Even when Robert De Niro does it, weight change isn't acting — it's the antithesis of acting, merely a symbol of an actor's dedication and not the tensile, complicated act of commitment itself, which can unspool only in performance. But you could say that in reshaping his body and face, Gyllenhaal has achieved a kind of art direction of the self. more >> | | | | | | 10 Best Dallas-based Etsy Shops by By Amy McCarthy  Most of us would much rather buy something than make it, especially if it's hand-made by a much more creative and talented person. Fortunately, the rise of Etsy and the DIY trend has made it much easier to find unique goods crafted by individual artists and not sweatshop workers. No longer are crafty types and artists relegated to flea markets and gallery showings. more >> | | | Saffy Herndon: Dallas' Kid Comedian If you're up on the local comedy scene, which seems to rotate around the nuclear hub of the Dallas Comedy House, you may have found yourself snort-laughing at jokes coming out of youngster, Saffy Herndon. The 9-year-old comedian, who tells jokes about everything from cartoons to her dad's drinking habits to adopting highways. She's making the observations other kids might make, but with better comedic timing and the knowing, devious smile of a 4th grader who knows how funny she is. And Dallas audiences tend to agree, as she performs at many of the popular open mic nights, as well as in line-ups at DCH, and the Kessler Theater. more >> | | | | | | | | | | | | | Coupons >> |
