Tulisoma, Swahili for “we read,” is a community-based literary festival promoting literacy and the arts in the South Dallas/Fair Park area that will take place August 24-26, 2012.

Earth Day Dallas 2012 will kick off its annual festival April 21, 2012, with high-profile speakers and entertainment, award-winning cinema, incredible exhibits and a chance to participate in a world record.

The biggest sporting event is coming to our city and with big sporting events comes big parties. The good folks over at Susie Drinks and Dallas Socials have listed over 100 events and parties going on in Dallas – from Fair Park, Victory Park, Downtown and beyond.

There’s something for everyone. Here we go – Let’s get this party started!

At the close of this season, I tip my hat (though I never really wear one) to the entire staff and wait eagerly for next season’s awesomeness to be released on the world.

Yes, Wicked fever had certainly been caught all across the city. One might think that maybe the hype was a little overplayed, that perhaps the stories people from all across the country had shared about their experiences with this (as some have said) “life-changing” show might be more hyperbolic than truth. If you thought that however…you’d be wrong.
