Happy Bullets, Melba Toast, Arthur Yoria City Tavern	Fri., May 16	Downtown & Deep Ellum
A group of mostly 30-somethings, The Happy Bullets are too old (or too good) to care much about being hip. At the tsunami benefit show at the Granada, band members Tim Ruble and Josh McKibben slapped each other high-fives between horn blasts, a kind of anti-posturing. Their giddy '60s psychedelia...

Mark Olson AllGood Cafe	Fri., May 16, 8:00pm	Downtown & Deep Ellum	Musical Events
The last time singer-songwriter Mark Olson played the AllGood Café, the power went out right before the show. Olson and his band weren't fazed, however, offering to do the gig completely acoustic. Unfortunately for us, the power came back on, and while the sprinkling of old Jayhawks songs and... More>>

Archie Scott Gobber: In Loving Memory of You Marty Walker Gallery	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Sat., May 10 until Sat., June 14	Downtown & Deep Ellum	Art Galleries
To be perfectly honest, I'm not terribly familiar with the work of Kansas City artist Archie Scott Gobber . I do know that "Gobber's mixed-media constructions and works on paper slyly deconstruct 'of-the-moment' words and phrases, manipulating both surfaces and meaning in an often biting and humorous...

Un-Ordinary Horizons Bath House Cultural Center	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Thu., May 8 until Sat., May 24, 12:00pm-6:00pm	White Rock Lake Area	Art Galleries
Landscape art can be a risky venture. For instance, for every Ansel Adams, there are practically 10 Thomas Kinkades (and just one is plenty scary for us). Thankfully, the artists of Un-Ordinary Horizons each take vastly different approaches to the art form, and none of them claim to be "masters of... More>>

Bead Renaissance Grapevine Convention Center	Daily from Fri., May 16 until Sat., May 17, 10:00am-6:00pm (more dates/times)	Grapevine	Festivals & Shows
The humble bead looks insignificant, but over the course of history it has been used as currency in exchange for everything from goods and land to flashes of skin. It's been strung on string, wires and nearly everything else that artists and jewelry designers can think of. And, bead by bead, it's still a... More>>

The Book of Liz Theatre Arlington	Every week Thursday from Thu., May 15 until Sun., May 25, 7:30pm (more dates/times)	Arlington	Theater
Funny runs through the blood of the Sedaris family like corny flows through the Osmonds. Through the immensely popular works by David Sedaris, many of us are aware of the antics of the family, as their dirty laundry has been aired time and time again in Sedaris' short stories, essays and radio appearances....

Eating Crow DECORAZON gallery	Every week Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Thu., April 24 until Tue., June 3	Oak Cliff & South Dallas	Art Galleries
Artist Michele Mikesell may live and work not far from DECORAZONgallery in Oak Cliff, but she's a nationally known painter represented by many notable galleries. Mikesell was raised without a television, and she gives this fact a lot of credit when it comes to her artistic development. At a young age, she... More>>

George Lopez Nokia Theatre at Grand Prairie	Daily from Fri., May 16 until Sat., May 17, 8:00pm	Grand Prairie	Comedy
I can't say I've ever watched George Lopez for more than a few minutes. Every time he appears on Comedy Central, I immediately become annoyed for some reason and switch the channel. But apparently I'm missing out, because the star of the stand-up special America's Mexican routinely packs stadiums... More>>

City of God Hal Samples Gallery	Every week Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Sat., May 3 until Sun., June 1	Downtown & Deep Ellum	Art Galleries
If there's one thing photographer Hal Samples can do without even speaking, it's make social commentary. His works offer comment on life, levels of suffering or joy and the environment just hanging there still on a wall. Saturday, May 3, Samples opens a showcase of some of his works shot in Brazil (plus a... More>>

If You Give A Pig A Party Dallas Children's Theater	Every week Friday from Fri., May 9 until Fri., May 23, 7:30pm (more dates/times)	Northwest Dallas	Kids Theater
My mother was a children's librarian, and I am currently a reference librarian in a small public library, so I know children's books. But even though I really like kids and they tend to be my favorite patrons to deal with, I am far from the children's librarian type. Yes, I would like to read the... More>>

Borderline Greatness Janette Kennedy Gallery	Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday from Fri., May 9 until Fri., May 30, 10:00am-6:00pm	Oak Cliff & South Dallas	Art Galleries
If you haven't been to Marfa, face it: You're just not that cool. Two of the year's most kick-ass movies were filmed there ( There Will Be Blood and No Country for Old Men ), seriously indie bands make special trips there (Boris, Joanna Newsom and others) and even Prada developed a free-standing...

BitterSweet Landmark Magnolia Pictures	Daily from Thu., April 24 until Tue., May 27	East Dallas & Lakewood	Art Galleries
We thrive off the raw, nourishing underbelly of this huge concrete mother of a city. Don't let flash and glitter fool you—the real proof of our survival is the enduring hunger to examine our inner nature. To toast awakening talents, boast of independent voices and post diverse visions that raise civic... More>>

[Magnolia at the Modern] Bab' Aziz The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth	Fri., May 16, 6:00pm (more dates/times)	Fort Worth	Film
Hollywood can do a lot of things with special effects these days: Alien ships fly across the sky with no strings attached, dogs talk and Tom Cruise is tall. Not surprisingly, movies with a big special effects budget tend to be lacking in other areas, like script and character development. But audiences... More>>

May Flowers Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens	Daily from Thu., May 1 until Sat., May 31	White Rock Lake Area	Nature Centers/Parks, Women's Events, Festivals & Shows
Recent studies have proven that women may enjoy, but cannot actually be described as loving flowers until they enter the maternal state. The maternal state, however, is not exclusively that of having passed offspring through the vaginal canal, but may be inclusive of being a pet mommy, baby-sitter,... More>>

Global Warming: still/LIFE and Field Notes McKinney Avenue Contemporary	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., May 9 until Sat., June 21	East Dallas & Lakewood	Art Galleries
I find it fascinating that once Oprah declared environmentalism suitable for the masses the way she did with literacy, it suddenly became cool to talk about your carbon footprint and recycling programs over dinner. It's really too bad Oprah didn't clear her couch of polygamists and diet gurus 20 years ago... More>>

There's No Place Like Home Photographs Do Not Bend Gallery	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Sat., May 10 until Sat., June 14, 10:00am-6:00pm	Downtown & Deep Ellum	Art Galleries
Two things that can never be mentioned in the same breath without triggering the gag reflex: "John Waters" and "dump." I bet I know the first image that juxtaposition conjured in your mind: the infamous closing scene from Waters' Pink Flamingos . Even if you haven't seen the movie, you probably know... More>>
