Dallas Days 6 & 7
So Wednesday morning I took my sweet time checking out...Tuesday night ran a little late. But I avoided the midnight pizza. After checkout it was looking like rain, but I headed to the Nasher Sculpture Center. I actually think the outdoor one at the New Orleans Museum of Art is much nicer, although the building at the Nasher is very nice. The only problem is that out of 8 galleries, only 2 and a half had sculptures on display, so that was a little disappointing. THe New Orleans garden doesn't have a building or indoor area, other than the museum itself, but it's free.
Wednesday night RT and I went out for karaoke, and G-rant met us out there for awhile. Got to sing a few songs, some guy jumped in on my last one, but other than that it was cool. Some really good singers at that show, and there was a bull mounted above the stage area that blew smoke out of its nostrils. Unfortunately I wasn't fast enough with the camera so I missed a shot of that.
Thursday I visited the Apple Store in Plano, which wasn't nearly as extensive as the one in Chicago. But it was heavily staffed with geeks. Then I went on a beer quest. I found a couple of places on the net that claimed to have extensive beer selections, so I hit a couple of those. Found the Optimator that I love so dearly, plus a rasberry beer that I've only had once, a new Samuel Smith porter than I hadn't tried, plus Turbo Dog and Purple Haze, which I forgot to pick up for Robbie before I left Columbus. Of course, the reason I was picking those beers up for him was because he claimed he couldn't get them in Dallas. So now he knows where to find them. I am a beer god.
Thursday night I went over to Stevan's and hung out for awhile before we went out to eat at some fast-food derivative of P.F. Changs. The food was good, and the setting was interesting. The floor was VERY red. VERY red. After that we hit some bars and clubs on Cedar Springs, saw someone that I actually had met before, met a couple of new people, and sang a karaoke song. Stevan was a little surprised that I went right for the book. "You're not really gonna sing, are you?" HAHAHA. Of course I was. Only had to wait about 4 songs, too. Didn't drink too much, I was a little burned out last night. I think I'll make up for it this evening.
Today I went back to West End and did a little shopping, ate Sushi for lunch, and hit the Holocaust Museum. That was interesting, but I hope that they flesh it out a little (no pun intended) after they get their new building completed.
Tonight, it's crawfish and beer. Yummy. Sorry I'm gonna miss yet another AM/FM show, but I'll catch up with everyone when I get back to more familiar haunts next week.
