D Magazine's weekly guide to the goings-on in the Dallas-Fort Worth area	January 24

It’s cold outside, we’re not feeling so hot, and the only thing comforting us is a bottle of whiskey and emails to our ex-boyfriend from high school. Pathetic? Perhaps. But it’s supposed to get warm this weekend, so let’s all get outside and pretend it’s springtime. There’s also a legendary rock band to see in concert, fun parties to attend, and a play for the little ones. Assuming you have little ones, unlike us. Oh no. Sore spot there. Someone pass the bottle.

Van Halen, January 26

We’re certain that spending your Saturday night at a Van Halen concert means you are going to have a pretty spectacular evening. How so? Glad you asked.

Food: Trece Cooking Class at Sur la Table

In 2008, it’s already becoming clear that it’s going to take more than our standard “romantic night” dinner of Eatzi’s takeout to impress our future spouse. It’s going to take wit, intelligence, and a gourmet meal prepared by only us. We need major help.

Kid Stuff: Goodnight Moon. (Thru 2/24)

The Dallas Children’s Theater’s production of “Goodnight Moon” actually sounds like a sweet show—a distinct change from a season spent lying about Santa Claus, reindeer, and how the new bike got under the tree in the first place (hint: It did not come down the chimney, and it certainly wasn’t free).

Galas and Benefits: Hooch and Pooch 2008

Dogs are our best friends. Maybe this seems sad to you, but at least dogs don’t call up friends behind your back and talk about how fat you are. We also love alcohol, so combining the two at the annual Hooch & Pooch makes this one of our favorite nights.

Music: Wyclef Jean

Ten years ago or so, Wyclef Jean’s “The Carnival” spent approximately three solid months in our car’s CD player. We loved “Guantanamera” (even though we couldn’t understand most of what was being said) “Apocalypse” (oui oui ya’ll) and especially, “Gone Till November.”

Galas and Events: Stoneleigh Hotel & Spa Event, benefiting the Dallas Museum of Art League

When we moved back to town two years ago, the Stoneleigh was were we stayed for an entire week before moving into our apartment. There was no denying it needed a facelift.
