It’s now. It’s live. It’s happening. We want the innovators, the community climate changers, the artists who see, make, and do like no one else. And, well, since you artistic types are already in the spirit of entering things, we figured you wouldn’t mind our online registration form and the…
Welcome to another edition of Geek-Offs, where you’ll find the perfect distractions to help you muddle your way through hump day each week. Sitting in meeting after meeting all week, your mind probably wanders a bit. Chances are there are some pretty sweet doodles to be found in the edges…
If you’re anything like us, you probably have a garage full of weird and unnecessary items morosely collecting dust, but don’t drag them to the curb just yet! Join us on Saturday, October 1, 2011 for the Dallas Arts District’s Art in Motion procession. Grab that jogging stroller that has…
Minted.com is currently running a promotion for free mommy business cards, offering you 25 cards free (you just have to pay for shipping). If you have a kid, you’ve seen these at the playground. I once had a woman proposition me with one of these while I was shopping at…
If the world does end soon, we can leave as happy campers. We came, saw and conquered. Well, we conquered Dallas at least, and we have the proof that we’ve experienced the best this city has to offer in our Best of Dallas 2011 issue, which hit newsstands today and…
Labor Day might mark the unofficial start of fall, but fall really begins this Friday. We’ve suffered through record-breaking heat and, maybe worse, Pete Delkus’ tweets about it, for months, but now with football season in full swing and the State Fair just around the corner we can officially get…
Welcome to another edition of Geek-Offs, where you’ll find the perfect distractions to help you muddle your way through hump day each week. With the cool weather creeping in, we’re getting a little twitchy in our seats. Unfortunately, being stuck at our desks all day means we need a virtual…
Welcome to another edition of Geek-Offs, where you’ll find the perfect distractions to help you muddle your way through hump day each week. We’ve been playing video games as far back as we can remember. Once upon a time we had to save up quarters and go to the arcade…
If you were thinking of moseying over to a Target store after work to pick up a few of those Missoni items, don’t bother. By 8:30 this morning the racks were cleaned out. I know this because I was at the Super Target at Abrams and Skillman bright and early,…
It’s the first of its kind here in Dallas and it appears to be off to a smashing start. I’m referring to Uptown Players’ Dallas Pride Performing Arts Festival that kicked off this past Friday and runs through the September 17. I had the chance to check out three of…
Last week I participated in a bit of a Facebook debate started by one of our Arts & Culture own (see above). With 38 comments, there was some heavy debate mixed in with the quips. Most skewed on the side of the tiger. But a few of us supported that…
Every few months Dallas-area theaters pile on the new shows. This is one of those weekends, with 10 productions opening. One of those, Dallas Pride Performing Arts Festival at Uptown Players, is a multi-show offering filling several performance spaces at Kalita Humphreys Theater. So go see a show. Tickets start…
Welcome to another edition of Geek-Offs, where you’ll find the perfect distractions to help you muddle your way through hump day each week. When you see this week’s selection for Geek-Off, you’re probably going to think we called it in because we were too busy out enjoying the weather to…
No, it’s not exactly fall yet, but apparently, it’s time to start picking out plants for cool weather planting. Thing is, we here at Mixmaster HQ don’t know a damn thing about fall planting. Actually, come to think of it, we don’t know too much of anything about planting in…
Some stores are open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. or 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Many specialty stores are open at inopportune times for those of us who have regular day job hours. Vitamin Cottage’s Natural Grocers — the health food and fresh product market in the old Casa…
By now most of you dear readers are well aware of the Gawker-produced list of the 50 Worst States In America. Gawker placed their home base at 50, and the Lone Star State at 13. Sure sure, our placement could be worse, but instead of celebrating that, we’d rather point…
Welcome to another edition of Geek-Offs, where you’ll find the perfect distractions to help you muddle your way through hump day each week. We like pretty things ’round here. We like sparkly jewels and rainbows and shiny rocket ships and cow-abducting UFOs. Wait, what?…
Welcome to another edition of Geek-Offs, where you’ll find the perfect distractions to help you muddle your way through hump day each week. In the past, we’ve culled the blogosphere and assorted casual game sites to find mid-week entertainment for you, but this week we’re doing things a little differently…
It must be a joke. Right? It has to be. Otherwise, there are no words. New photos posted on on this snarky Craigslist ad of a heart-shaped placenta stain on a $500 mattress suggest it’s a keen little dark-humored joke. Man, we hope so. No words. (h/t Reddit) Follow the…
If you suffer from coulrophobia – the fear of clowns – then you might want to postpone visits to local thrift and antique stores for a little while. They’re crawling with scary clowns, priced to move. Paintings, prints, dolls, figurines. It’s like a Stephen King novel up in there. Here…
If you walked into Northpark Center today wondering where you could find the new H&M store, you weren’t the only one. Enormous lines managed by enormous security guards staggered almost all the way back to Dillard’s. An estimated 1200 showed up to take part in the fashion fun. Walking in,…
As Dallas expands and overcrowds itself, questions about responsible development are more relevant than ever. Last night the Dallas Architecture Forum and CityDesign Studio convened a public panel of urban designers at the Dallas Museum of Art to discuss the importance of public design studios and the ongoing challenges they…
