Get ready for Halloween early this year with the creative chops of the RAW Dallas AXIS event.

I haven’t even steeped foot onto the premises, and already the mania and excitement of Anime was bursting at the seams. With everything going on with the news lately, a little escapism can do the psyche some good. Plenty of North Texas Anime fans came to the Sheraton Hotel on Saturday, costumed and all, to celebrate the nirvana that is AnimeFest. Short for “Anime Festival” it’s a once a year celebration of all things Japanese animation thrown right here in Downtown Dallas.

So the summer season is a total wash. Our favorite TV shows won’t return from hiatus until fall. Things are getting pretty crazy in politics and in world news. Weather is out of control.

But when events do happen, why not take advantage when the opportunity arrives?

What is burlesque? Urban Dictionary defines it as “A variety show that uses: comedians, strippers, or musicians that often sing and dance while removing their clothes in a seductive manner.” It requires its performers (mainly female) to act out comic sketches mixed with dancing that pokes fun at everything. There are rules: minimum costuming, sexually-related dialog or innuendo, and clever comedic moments that are easy to laugh at and harmless.

Wilco fans were not disappointed Sunday night at The Majestic . Frontman Jeff Tweedy gave a performance unlike anything Dallas has seen from him before, accompanied by a new tour band including his son Spencer on drums.

The Nerv Gallery will be presenting Abnormal Artbeats to celebrate the grand re-opening of their recently remodeled gallery space later this month. In addition to a solo art exhibit presented by Adu, this event will also include live music, food trucks and several live art workshops appropriate for all ages.

You nod your head and agree with their reviews while you actually have no idea what “movies” or “bands” they’re referring […]
