A man appals; I slap "Panama"

28 01 2008

Well, color me surprised. Every review we’ve read said Diamond Dave and the boys played a rocking show at the AAC on Saturday night, and based on the traffic around the area, it seems like they were a pretty popular bet, even with high ticket prices…

As someone pointed out over e-mail after we posted Thursday’s Flight Plan, I claimed spending the cash on tickets was a “waste.” Half of that is due to the fact that all the other sources for entertainment that weekend in the Flight Plan could be combined together and the tickets wouldn’t cost as much as a single ticket to Van Halen…and half because, in the past, there have been plenty of rip-off, one-off, last-chance reunion tours that didn’t deliver.

Am I eating crow now that they had a good show? Maybe. We’ll see if there are still good reviews when Van Halen returns to the AAC to take even more money in March.

Curious about the title? It’s a palindrome by Edward Wolpow.





March Movies, Malls, Menus, and More!

1 03 2007

Other the alliteration, you’ll understand why we’re so giddy about March when you visit the Scene.

Our Flight Plan for the weekend is all about the great American playground, the mall. It’s almost Spring, and fashion dictates that you need some new threads. So grab the Plan and head Out To DFW’s Best Malls.

Got the blues? We will. Dallas is getting it’s own House of Blues, and an original Blues Brother, Dan Akroyd showed up to see the site. Who was there? We were.

March roars into the Multiplex like a lion, but some films are going to be all roar. We predict which are any good in our article: Major March Movies.

And what’s not on the menu at your local eatery? The Metroplexpert found out a cool new dish at his local Chipotle, and inspired us to go searching for more.

Speaking of The Metroplexpert…he’s one of the DFW Scene’s contributors, and you should be too! E-mail us here to find out more.
