Baptist Generals, Dust Congress Cafe Rembrandt	Sat., May 17	Downtown & Deep Ellum
Pinebox Serenade banjoist/vocalist Nick Foreman has reconstituted his one-man solo act, Dust Congress, with marimba, oboe, trumpet and the omnipresent Ryan Williams from The Baptist Generals on upright bass—and the unplugged immediacy of the band's new digs suits Foreman's Harry Smith-soaked chamber...

Jeffrey Ross Lakewood Theater	Sat., May 17, 9:00pm	East Dallas & Lakewood	Comedy
Jeffrey Ross is kind of a jerk. But, then again, that's kind of the snide comedian's shtick. More than likely, you know him from his role in the New York Friars Club and Comedy Central roasts, where he's been known to put down everyone and everything in the room in the name of comedy - which is weird,...

Main Street Days Outdoor Adventure Open Location	Sat., May 17	Downtown & Deep Ellum	Libations, Kids Events, Culinary, Sports Spectator, Festivals & Shows
Oh, yes, Grapevine is a hard-ass. It's the Russell Crowe of DFW suburbs. Being a hard-ass, the city wants you to know of its hard-assness. That's why at its annual Main Street Days Outdoor Adventure , held Friday through Sunday, Grapevine flexes its muscles by holding extreme sport... 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>>

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>>

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>>

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>>

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>>

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>>

Empire Burlesque and Textual Dynamite Mighty Fine Arts	Every week Saturday, Sunday from Sat., May 17 until Sun., June 22, 12:00pm-5:00pm	Oak Cliff & South Dallas	Art Galleries
Presidential campaign, what? Everyone has an opinion on who should be our next leader, what they should focus on, where they should pull out from, who they should appoint as a running mate and if their clothes really send a good message to "the people." Big deal. It's the latest, most fashionable topic and... More>>
