Nouns Group, The Carrots, Daniel Francis Doyle, Fight Bite Hailey's	Fri., May 9	Denton
With members hailing from Plano and Denton, Nouns Group is one of those non-Dallas bands that are starting to dominate the North Texas music scene. Singer/guitarist Chris Mosley (formerly of Early Lines), drummer Nick Martin and bassist Britt Robisheaux make a propulsive racket of jagged melodies,... More>>

Loudon Wainwright III Sons of Hermann Hall	Fri., May 9	Downtown & Deep Ellum
Loudon Wainwright III has become something of a patron saint for struggling singer-songwriters. Rare is the aspiring acoustic folkie who doesn't have at least one LW3 composition in his arsenal; "Tip That Waitress," "The Acid Song," "The Swimming Song" and "The Man Who Couldn't Cry" are, undoubtedly, being...

[Midnights at the Inwood] Rushmore Inwood Theatre	Daily from Fri., May 9 until Sat., May 10	Park Cities	Film
Remember the good old days, when Wes Anderson made quirky films that didn't bleed indie-rock-noxiousness and feature gratuitous naked shots of bruised, be-socked Natalie Portman? When Jason Schwartzman looked like an actual nerd instead of a hip dude appropriating nerd chic? When you and your friends had to... More>>

Ad-Libs Mouth	Every week Friday, Saturday, 10:00pm	Downtown & Deep Ellum	Theater, Comedy
If you enjoy coming dangerously close to wetting your britches from body-rocking laughter (who doesn't?), then grab a ticket to an Ad-Libs Comedy Improv Troupe show. The performers are squatting at a venue called MOUTH, and although the space may be temporary, the hilarity has been fully cemented in... More>>

Un-Ordinary Horizons Bath House Cultural Center	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Thu., May 8 until Sat., May 24, 12:00pm-6:00pm	White Rock Lake Area	Art Galleries
Landscape art can be a risky venture. For instance, for every Ansel Adams, there are practically 10 Thomas Kinkades (and just one is plenty scary for us). Thankfully, the artists of Un-Ordinary Horizons each take vastly different approaches to the art form, and none of them claim to be "masters of... More>>

Eating Crow DECORAZON gallery	Every week Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Thu., April 24 until Tue., June 3	Oak Cliff & South Dallas	Art Galleries
Artist Michele Mikesell may live and work not far from DECORAZONgallery in Oak Cliff, but she's a nationally known painter represented by many notable galleries. Mikesell was raised without a television, and she gives this fact a lot of credit when it comes to her artistic development. At a young age, she... More>>

City of God Hal Samples Gallery	Every week Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Sat., May 3 until Sun., June 1	Downtown & Deep Ellum	Art Galleries
If there's one thing photographer Hal Samples can do without even speaking, it's make social commentary. His works offer comment on life, levels of suffering or joy and the environment just hanging there still on a wall. Saturday, May 3, Samples opens a showcase of some of his works shot in Brazil (plus a... More>>

Hello, Dolly! Irving Arts Center	Every week Sunday from Sun., April 27 until Sat., May 10, 2:30pm (more dates/times)	Irving & Las Colinas	Theater
It's always painful when we want most what we can't have, particularly when it comes to love. How often we pine for someone who has no interest in us, only to realize that the answer to our problems is to dress up in sequined 19th-century clothing, sing show tunes and channel Carol Channing. Hey, it worked... More>>

BitterSweet Landmark Magnolia Pictures	Daily from Thu., April 24 until Tue., May 27	East Dallas & Lakewood	Art Galleries
We thrive off the raw, nourishing underbelly of this huge concrete mother of a city. Don't let flash and glitter fool you—the real proof of our survival is the enduring hunger to examine our inner nature. To toast awakening talents, boast of independent voices and post diverse visions that raise civic... More>>

[Magnolia at the Modern] Taxi to the Dark Side The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth	Fri., May 9, 6:00pm (more dates/times)	Fort Worth	Film
Here's my metaphor for why the American public continues to put up with the Bush administration's utter incompetence and rejection of constitutional and Geneva Convention rights: olfactory fatigue. If you were forced to live in an outhouse, thanks to this phenomenon, the stench would bother you for less... More>>

May Flowers Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens	Daily from Thu., May 1 until Sat., May 31	White Rock Lake Area	Nature Centers/Parks, Women's Events, Festivals & Shows
Recent studies have proven that women may enjoy, but cannot actually be described as loving flowers until they enter the maternal state. The maternal state, however, is not exclusively that of having passed offspring through the vaginal canal, but may be inclusive of being a pet mommy, baby-sitter,... More>>

Global Warming: still/LIFE and Field Notes McKinney Avenue Contemporary	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., May 9 until Sat., June 21	East Dallas & Lakewood	Art Galleries
I find it fascinating that once Oprah declared environmentalism suitable for the masses the way she did with literacy, it suddenly became cool to talk about your carbon footprint and recycling programs over dinner. It's really too bad Oprah didn't clear her couch of polygamists and diet gurus 20 years ago... More>>

The Misanthrope Dallas Theater Center	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday from Tue., May 6 until Sun., May 18, 7:30pm (more dates/times)	Uptown & Oak Lawn	Theater
Every time I think of the work of MoliÃ¨re I can't help but also think of John Hughes' The Breakfast Club : specifically the scene in which Judd Nelson's John Bender sits on a card catalog "re-alphabetizing" the cards, pausing at one to drawl, "Moe-lay really pumps my nads." Oddly, The... More>>

Paul Mooney Improv	Daily from Thu., May 8 until Sun., May 11	Addison	Comedy
In the aftermath of Michael Richards' infamous N-word meltdown, comedian Paul Mooney vowed to stop using the word that torpedoed the career of his fellow comic, calling on others to join him in banishing the word and claiming that Richards' hateful tirade "cured" him of the word. It wasn't a lasting cure,... More>>

Taste Addison 2008 Open Location	Fri., May 9, 5:00pm-12:00am (more dates/times)	Downtown & Deep Ellum	Kids Events, Culinary, Musical Events, Festivals & Shows
Maybe it's the absence of a preposition that makes Taste Addison 2008 (instead of Taste of Addison) sound mandatory rather than suggestive, but if these organizers think they can push me into an eat-to-bloat, three-day food fest without being nice about it, they know nothing about my capacity to consume....
