Thursday: The sun is shining brightly, the weather is crisp and beautiful, and Dallas is crackling with activity. Also, I have had four cups of coffee in the last hour.
Here’s something a little different for your evening: Get Your Toes Wet, an improvisational art show at ThirdSpace. I’ll be frank with you. When I first heard the phrase “improvisational art,” I gagged a little. It turns out that was an inappropriate response. This inaugural event for the Dallas Public Arts Project features five artists who’ll take turns drawing a piece, adding on elements as they see fit in a round-robin format. I’m curious to see how these people think, and draw, on their feet.
But, maybe that isn’t your idea of a good time. Perhaps you’d like to see a movie instead. Well, what do you know? FrontRow’s screening of Tango is tonight at Dallas Hub Theater. This movie has everything: loss, loneliness, love, mobsters, political commentary, and lots of saucy dance moves (which makes sense, considering TITAS Executive Director Charles Santos chose this one). We’re nearing capacity, though, so be sure to RSVP. If you can’t get in and are really in the mood for film, you could also try to nab a ticket to Return to Giant at The Texas Theatre in Oak Cliff.
Or, maybe you’d like something more interactive. How about a wine-and-cheese pairing contest? Or one of several OU/Texas-weekend pre-parties?
Regardless of what you pick, if you work downtown, it’s worth stopping by to hear a little outdoor mariachi music in Sammons Park. Mariachi Quetzal played in our office awhile back, and I can guarantee they’re entertaining.
We’ve found lots of other great things to do in Dallas if these don’t strike your fancy. Have a great night.
