Texas Jockey Roman Chapas U... None of this would have happened if the Sam Houston Race Park track photographer hadn't been shooting from the inside rail. The $50,000 Richard King Turf Stakes on January 17 was the ninth race of the night, the eighth that jockey Roman Chapa had competed in since the start of the meet at Sam Houston Race Park the night before. more >>

A New Texas House Bill Triggers Debate Over State-Funded Music Museums by Danny Gallagher

A New Texas House Bill Trig... Critics of a new bill filed in the Texas House that seeks to establish a Texas music history museum say that even though their hearts are in the right place, their brains are somewhere else entirely. more >>

The Best Band and Beer Pairings for Untapped Fort Worth 2015

Over the course of the past three years, Untapped has found itself a prime niche here in North Texas. Actually, it's spread well beyond that, with events not only in Forth Worth and Dallas but also Houston, Austin and even Nashville, each time offering up whats seems like miles worth of booths with tasty beers and a side of top-notch band booking. This weekend features Untapped Fort Worth at Panther Island Pavilion, with 250 beers from over 80 breweries and two stages of music featuring artists like De La Soul, Ariel Pink and the Sword. more >>

On Inwood, Shinsei Looks for New Life, and Mostly Finds It by Scott Reitz

On Inwood, Shinsei Looks fo... Sides are usually buried on some lower quadrant of the menu, only noticed after every appetizer has been fawned over and every entrée debated. Only when a particularly hungry member of a dining party asks, "Do you think we should get something for the table to share?" do eyes turn to the lesser dishes to balance out the steaks and egg rolls that were ordered with infinitely more enthusiasm. more >>

La Ventana Is Expanding to Addison, Because All Things Great Must Move to the 'Burbs

Tacos, thankfully, are not a trendy food. They're eternal, always there for us when we're broke and hungry or have had too many beers. Despite our fair city's culinary shortcomings in certain respects, our taco game will always and forever be strong. Still, most of the great tacos are limited to neighborhoods where gringos have only recently been brave enough to venture. Now, one of Dallas' gringo-iest areas is getting its very own legit taqueria. more >>

Witherspoon and Vergara Lift Hot Pursuit Into Hilarity by Stephanie Zacharek

Witherspoon and Vergara Lif... Sofía Vergara is built like an amphora, a living testament to the form ceramicists throughout the centuries have adored. In the fleet and gloriously ridiculous comedy Hot Pursuit, Vergara plays Daniella Riva, a mobster's wife who needs to be escorted from San Antonio to Dallas, where she'll testify against the head of a major drug cartel. Uptight, by-the-book police officer Rose Cooper (Reese Witherspoon) has the job of getting her there safely. more >>

Lambert & Stamp Is the Rare Honest Rock 'n' Roll Film

Is it possible to be accidentally definitive? James D. Cooper's thorough and revealing doc Lambert & Stamp is billed as the story of the managers who whipped the Who into being the Who. But once it's sketched out the characters and ambitions of Chris Stamp and Kit Lambert, putative New Wave filmmakers who got into rock 'n' roll for want of a chance to make a movie, Lambert & Stamp just happens to illuminate the glory and tumult of the band's rise with unexpected candor. more >>

Miss Gay USofA Jenna Skyy on the End of a Happy Reign by Paige Skinner

Miss Gay USofA Jenna Skyy o... It's Friday night at Station 4 and Jenna Skyy is dressed and ready to perform. She is drinking an Angry Orchard and "tribbling" -- a term she uses to describe mingling. A young man gropes her ass, but she is polite. more >>

The Down Low Is Like Living Inside a Tarantino Film For 75 Minutes

Watching Danny O'Connor's new dark comedy one-act The Down Low, set in a 956-square-foot house on East Mockingbird Lane, is like living inside a Tarantino film for 75 minutes. Bad things happen to people just inches away from where you're sitting. Hilarious things, too. Every time there's a knock on that red front door, look out. more >>
