The December issue of the print edition should be hitting newsstands near you, and here are some of the arts-related pieces you can look forward to:
1. Following up on this FrontRow piece from way back in August, I have a piece about the Booker T. Washington tap dancers who were given the opportunity to dance in a production by Dallas Symphony Orchestra Pops Conductor Marvin Hamlish, but not after some scary auditions. Says dancer Evelyn Roberts:
“I’m sure he is a big teddy bear on the inside, but that face could haunt anybody.”
2. Resident bar-hopper, Moira Muldoon, takes a trip down to Deep Ellum to visit the fabeled Adair’s Saloon and soak up all its musical Texas goodness:
It’s the kind of place where old-school Texas manners—such a lovely thing—emerge, where the guy next to you will say hello as he sits, make eye contact, and ask how you’re doing, before leaving you to your lunch. Sitting-at-the-bar conversation seems to be guided by the same principles as two-stepping: courteous, pleasant interludes that don’t monopolize your evening.
3. And our new urban planning columnist, Patrick Kennedy, throws his support behind the activist urban installation project, Better Block.
