Put Some Gay In Your Day, Dallas!

Oak Cliff

Oak Cliff Gets Savage

Let’s talk about sex, baby. Or better yet, let’s look to a different salt-and-pepper favorite: Dan Savage. The wildly popular gay rights activist, syndicated columnist, It Gets Better founder, podcaster and all-around talented heartthrob brings his Savage Love podcast and sex advice column to life at the Kessler for a rescheduled appearance on May 11. Presented by WordSpace, a North Texas non-profit literary arts group, the […]

Life In The Fest Lane

Quirky makes us twerky! While so many film festivals have gone mainstream and big budget, we love that the Oak Cliff Film Festival (OCFF) has stayed true to its indie roots and continues to highlight movies that might not find a home elsewhere. The schedule features everything from cult-classics like Flight Of The Navigator to short film collections. For the […]

Shop ‘Til You Drop Your Taco

We love eating our way through Sylvan Thirty. Whether we’re munching on tortilla-wrapped handhelds at Tacodeli, stuffing our face with pizza from CiboDivino, slurping up noodles from Ten Ramen, or diving face-first into a sweet treat at Whisk Crêpes Café, we’ve considered the complex a dining destination ever since it opened. Well, now we can do a little retail therapy […]

Putting The ART in Holiday Party

Give someone a gift certificate and they’ll remember it for—oh, about five seconds. Give someone a piece of artwork and they’ll think of you every single day. Hide a tiny camera in the frame and you’ll get a gift every day, too. (Especially if the recipient is hot and he hangs the art near his shower.) Whatever your art-giving motives […]

Slippery When Wet

At first, the idea of a 1,000-foot-long slip-and-slide sounded like a tortuous way to spend a hot afternoon. Then we saw the photos of Slide the City attendees in other cities and suddenly, we can’t think of a more appealing adventure. Just check out a few of our favorites within this story.All you have to do is register (you’ll save […]

Patriot Act

Flags and fireworks: They’ll be everywhere this weekend. But if you get your fill of kaboom-boom-pow (or you’re one of those freaks of nature who doesn’t enjoy a spectacular nighttime light show in the sky), head to the Kessler Theater for a totally different show of patriotism. It’s a night with Matt Tolentino’s Singapore Slingers, a pre-swing American dance orchestra […]

Acting Out

Contains adult situations, strong language and nudity. The above sentence is not a warning. It’s our daily mantra. Our reason for living. And also a siren’s call beckoning us to the Bishop Arts Theatre Center for the first-ever PlayPride LGBT Festival, a one-act play competition presented by TeCo Theatrical Productions. It all starts tonight with a $10 preview performance and […]

Brunch Of The Month: Nooner In The Cliff

We’re not typically fans of the whole “less is more” concept. Except when said less is part of the word bottomless. Of course, bottomless mimosas shouldn’t be the sole reason you seek out a brunch spot, but when they’re offered in conjunction with incredible food, it’s a hard combination to beat. So get your thirsty self to Bolsa, the Oak […]

It Gets Wetter

Today is Hump Day. Saturday, however, is HUMP! Day. Back in 2005, Dan Savage (the guy behind the It Gets Better campaign) challenged readers of his sex advice column to create homemade porn. He chose the winning film shorts and created the HUMP! Film Festival, which became wildly popular. This Saturday, you can see more than a dozen of his […]

Garden Of Earthly Delights

When most restaurants roll out a “new spring menu,” that’s usually code for “three dishes have been modified to include sugar peas, broccoli sprouts and baby radishes.” Not Bolsa. Their just-launched seasonal menu contains, by our estimates, 92.6% new dishes. And each is better than the last. Set aside a few hours, make sure your Uber account is current and […]
