DALLAS — SUN Sports & Entertainment, Inc. and the Dallas Convention & Visitors Bureau are partnering up to host the world championship Mixed Martial Arts -- "Art of War" event at the American Airlines Center on September 1, 2007.

This release quotes Phillip Jones, CEO of the Dallas Convention & Visitors Bureau, as saying, that "We are excited that Dallas was chosen as the location for the largest International Team Mixed Martial Arts Event featuring USA and Brazil."

That sounds legit enough. But the release also says, "the city of Dallas is on edge," as in:

"The invitations have been sent, the arena is ready, the television crew have been working day and night and the city of Dallas is on edge. The list of VIPs is being kept strictly confidential. Movie Stars, Musical Artists, Athletes, Corporate CEO's, Politicians, and the exclusive 'A List' have been assembled to what is being referred to as 'one of the biggest parties Dallas has ever hosted' to be televised around the world."

I don't know. I don't mean to nit-pick, but I just don't get the sense that the city of Dallas is on edge.

Anyway, there's a ramp-up demonstration at the Dallas Convention Center on August 10-11, during the 14th Annual Sports & Fitness Super Show which will feature a mix of athletic competitions, martial arts, a model search, displays by fitness and supplement companies, and the first annual O'Reilly Custom Car Super Show presented by Subaru of America.
