I know it doesn’t look too promising, but it should be nice and sunshiney later on.
And we’re only a few dates in to the Dallas Arboretum’s spring and summer concert series, and this is about the perfect time to enjoy an evening out of doors. You need a picnic basket and some wine (or beer), but since I’m feeling pretty lazy, that’s what Whole Foods is for. Tonight’s featured act is Dan Whyms, a Johnny Cash tribute, and the views of White Rock Lake are pretty unbeatable. Tickets are limited, so buy quickly.
Also tonight, Rihanna’s at the American Airlines Center with A$AP Rocky, which should be quite the show. Underselling, I know, but look: even the cheaper tickets are still available, so you could totally make this happen if you enjoy lyrics like “cake cake cake cake.” I’d go just for A$AP Rocky, mostly because while I do like her music—almost nobody does great pop like Rihanna, transforming the utterly ridiculous into fantastic song and dance numbers—I find her whole personal spectacle really grim. However, I advise proceeding with a small bit of caution. She canceled her show in Houston last night due to illness, so there’s a decent chance this could all go belly up, too. But we’ll see. Update 2:47: Guess who’s right? Yep. Me. Show’s postponed.
Finally, we have former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice, who will deliver a lecture this evening at UNT. That’s more than decent reward for making your way all the way out to Denton this evening, even if she won’t be tickling the ivories.
For more to do tonight, go here.
