Hey all. I just moved to Dallas from Tampa. Don't know where anything cool is at. If anyone knows of any good places to go to, any help would be great. Gracias

 

Oh man... if you just moved to Dallas...

Definitely hit Deep Ellum! At the intersection of Elm and Good Latimer is where it starts.

It is *the* spot for night life and entertainment... On Friday and Saturday nights, they close down the street and people stumble in and out of the clubs and live music venues that line the street.

There is a GREAT little Hookah Bar on Elm called 'The Velvet Hookah.' They have free hookahs and CHEAP drinks on Sunday night. Otherwise, the drinks are kinda pricey and the hookahs are $10 a pop. Still, a great atmosphere (muy romantico!) and a good d.j. spinning all kindsa funky stuff.

If you're up for a dance, go to Uropa. They have $2 wells on Friday and Saturday nights and the place is PACKED with hot guys and girls. They play great hip-hop, rap, trance, and techno until 4 a.m.

If you're more into the live music scene, there is always the Gypsy Tea Room and Trees. Trees is where Kurt Cobain once got his ass kicked. Cool, huh?

I also suggest that you pick up a copy of the Dallas Observer, an alternative news publication that has reviews of all of the clubs and restaurants here. They publish a weekly calendar of all of the upcoming events, as well as advertisements for the local trannies, prostitutes, and massage parlors! Whoo hoo!

Dallas is a party town Conservative by day... but Deep Ellum gets all freaky at night!

Welcome to Texas, MgicMshroom420!!!

 

Hippie Vixen, I was at that show and saw it go down.

I live east of Lubbock now, as stated in previous posts in this forum.

 

Hey , I'm in the Austin Area

 

I am in Houston...

 

the problem is all inside your head, she said to me
the answer is easy if you take it logically.
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free
there must be 50 ways to leave your lover.

she said it's really not my habit to intrude
furtermore i hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued
so i'll repeat my self, at the risk of being rude
there must be 50 ways to leave your lover

chorus:
just slip out the back, Jack
make a new plan, Stan
don't need to be coy, Roy
just listen to me
hop on the bus, Gus
don't need to discuss much
just drop off the key, Lee
and get yourself free.

she said it grieves me so to see you in such pain
i wish there was something i could do to make you smile again
i said, i appreciate that,
and would you please explain about the 50 ways.

she said, why don't we both just sleep on it tonight
and i believe that in the morning you'll begin to see the light
and then she kissed me and i realized she probably was right
there must be 50 ways to leave your lover
50 ways to leave your lover...

chorus...

 

reporting from Tyler TX here...i dont have one hippyish friend here. suuucks. my favorite bands are the grateful dead, phish, and other jam bands. I also like some bluegrass and eastern music. I dress normal but love listening to good music and tokin.

 

Close to Southeast side of Houston

I live in the Finest City in The Great State of Texas.

And................................

We all be knowin' where 'dat is, right, pardners?

Austin.

LostinAustin.

LOL

Fastest-Growing City in the ENTIRE COUNTRY for the past three years.

Wow.

Love-hate thing, really, that I got not with A-town.

It's gotten way too big. We have become Californicated.

But this place is still the ONLY place I'd live in Texas.

Well....I could live out in the Big Bend area, I reckon. Like Alpine.

If I had money and was retired, that is. There's no work there.

Anyway...yeah...............AUSTIN, TX. here.

C.

 

i been over to austin a few times it was a nice city but i couldn't live there for long some of the people are something else but good city

 

this weekend ill be in and around Beaumont I'm going over exploring

 

"Some of the people are something else?"

Care to elaborate what you mean by that?

Go ahead, mate, be honest. I won't get offended. I've lived here a while and now call Austin home, but I didn't grow up here nor was I born here, so I don't care if somebody disses the city or some of the people. I'm just curious. I'm pretty sure I know what you're gonna say, but please feel free.

Cheers.

 

Never been to Austin. But I've heard TONS of people comparing it to Portland, OR.

 

You'll need to maybe use a larger typeface, Celtic, if you want anyone over the age of 16 to read your stuff. It;s pretty but very hard to read)

That's not a criticism . . . merely a request.

 

My first trip to Texas was 1962. Flew into Biggs Field in a KC197. I was a comms tech in the Royal Canadian Navy at the time, hitching rides with USAF and USN.

Secnd time was April 2003, via Texarkana, Ft Worth Austin, San Antonio, Fort Stockton and Pecos. No complaints. Austin was great.
