Old 97’s at Frost Park, Fort Worth
So I think I’m in over my head with this post. And it’s not just because the Old 97’s are local legends who are still rocking out after 20 years and just released their latest foul-mouthed masterpiece to add their collection of awe-inspiring albums….Ok, I’m definitely in over my head! The point is, these dudes played a free Continue reading

Michael Sitarzewski and I Discussed Dallas, Tech, & Coffee
If it weren’t for sharing my blog posts on Twitter, I’m not sure how I would have initially come across Michael Sitarzewski, but I’m almost positive it would have happened eventually. Though he’s only been back in Texas for a little under a year now, he’s been making an impact in the local tech community, Continue reading

“How are you guys going to get there?” My friend Daniel asked me a couple of weeks ago when Katrina and I were heading out to a concert downtown. “I think we are just going to walk and then maybe Uber back home,” I replied. “Are you sure that’s safe?” Was his response. ——————————————————————————————————————— I’ve Continue reading

My Last Meal at The Mecca, Lakewood
You may or may not have heard that last Sunday was the Mecca’s last day in business until they hopefully relocate. I won’t feign a long history of loyalty to this neighborhood diner, but I know that there is a lot of history to the Mecca. I think it’s been around 70+ years, though in Continue reading

Oak Cliff Earth Day 2014
I was partially devastated a couple of weekends ago when the Deep Ellum Arts Festival was practically rained out. I still attended the event despite the rain, but I didn’t stay as long as I would have liked and missed the portion of the festival I had most looked forward to – the pet parade. Continue reading

Exploring Oak Point Nature Preserve – Plano
Spring brings out the adventurer in me. I love hiking and exploring nature; so does my pooch, Pierre! Last weekend I was set on traveling north up 75 to a nature preserve in Plano called Oak Point. Why would I choose Oak Point? One reason, two words: Bicycle Graveyard. Yes, I read about this trail Continue reading

Trivia – My Mid Week Fix & Why You Need One Too
Everyone has a least favorite day of the week – for me, it’s Tuesday. Tuesday is the most worthless day for man. It just takes up space on the calendar, delays Friday, and tries to pretend like it’s so much better than Monday. Unfortunately my disdain for Tuesday isn’t enough to have it removed from Continue reading
