Doesn't the City Arts event continue all weekend?

It does. See the tan box on the right of the page for the Saturday and Sunday schedules.

This was a great chance to see the Rev for free on Friday night. He played for a little over an hour. A bit of a toned-down version of his usual show, given the 'family' oriented environment - he was obviously aware of this (or made aware of it) before hand, as a few of his better known hits were edited for content (My "5.0" ford). He had a couple of slip-ups, but I don't think anyone was too worried.

There was a decent crowd out - given it was on the less attended (I suspect) Friday night. It was hard to gauge how many were out specifically to see him, or just happened to be there (I'd guess about 40/60). I've seen him several times, but I have to say this was a first in that he played a Nirvana cover - definitely worth more than the price of admission (which, incidentally, was free).

Sounded interesting but I found out about it the day before and it was blazing hot this weekend. Why doesn't Dallas do these things in the fall when it's nice weather outside?

Which brings me to my next question: Who was the brainiac in charge of making the sole Ozzfest date in early August in Texas?

I had no intentions of going anyway, but seriously, August?
