Noted Southern California art dealer brings lowbrow/pop culture artists to Dallas
Met him a few weeks back. Seems like a nice guy but I agree w/ Hot Rod Lincoln.

Deep Ellum gallery Road Agent continues to support the arts despite trying economy
I suspect Road Agent will take part in the DEEP Art Walk on April 18 then. After all we all really should stick together. Kudos on hanging in there I know it's not easy.

Photo gallery: pinup shoot at the Dallas Burlesque Festival
A great night by anybody's standard. Much props to Elisa and her girls! Unfortunately I see several more fest on the horizon and it seems doomed to be the latest trend. Anybody remember the swing dance craze or the homebrew craze? Both were well intentioned tips of the hat towards days gone by. Thye got up and running and then crashed not long after everyone got on the wagon. I'm just saying enjoy it while you can.

Dallas band The Happy Bullets searches for founder of Oak Cliff
I'd guess Edison is buried in Grant's tomb.

Art Openings and Events: October '08
"Ten Four Good Buddy’ is no longer just a truckers term… it’s also a date to remember. This Saturday, October 4th @ 7:00 pm Kettle Art will host Scotty Mankoff’s first ever one man show. This exhibit will feature over ONE THOUSAND photos of Dallas shot paparazzi style over this past year. Imagine that coming from such a subdued guy like Scotty. Be there and there’s a good chance you will see you on display!

Bar of Soap, venerable rock bar-laundromat in Dallas' Exposition Park district, closes
Bar of Soap always had free parking in the back and no cover.

Bar of Soap, venerable rock bar-laundromat in Dallas' Exposition Park district, closes
Bar of Soap has been around 22 years. Before that Charlie had the Twilite Room / Circle A Ranch for another 3 years. Always punk rock never trendy. Dirt has always been part of the turf. Nowadays you are welcome to pay 32.50 for the band and $4.50 a beer at a nice clean venue to see the same bands he hosted years ago. Those still around include NOFX, Dropkick Murphy's, Offspring, Butthole Surfers, Soul Asylum etc. Priceless shows you probably missed include Black Flag, TSOL, the Dead Kennedy's, Husker Du, Circle Jerks, and Johnny Thunders to name a few. Oh and the legendary CBGB's was a total disgusting dump as well and look what it spawned for culture at large. Alcohol will kill nearly anything you may catch at a dirty club anyway so who cares... Bar of Soap / Charlie Gilder will be sorely missed. Punk Rock = Good. Cheap Beer = Good. Clean Clothes = Good. Clay 213 = a DJ plenty of us can't wait to experience.

2008 Deep Ellum Arts Festival
I agree w/ Bill. It's too damn perfect out to waste time at the office. After framing a few more pics for the Art Festival I plan head out and hit everything Bill mentioned and then some like Spector 45 at 8:30 on the Deep Ellum stage. These guys have been hard at it for nearly five years and kept down only flaky bassists. Now w/ James firmly in place and a live show that is untouchable there's a good chance one of the best performances of the weekend will be tonight. Not to be missed!

Dallas to launch anti-panhandling campaign
In Yellowstone National Park there are signs all over that clearly state 'do not feed the bears'. Why? Because these creatures of the wild learn to expect handouts. They have even been known to destroy your campsite or car to get to your goods.
In this urban forest of Dallas I don't believe in feeding our bears for that same reason.

UPDATED: Periodic Table of Dallas to be unveiled
I didn't mastermind a thing. This was all Art Con's doings. I just guided / oversaw the execution of their great concept into being.

Marty Walker Gallery chosen to display at Aqua Art Miami during Art Basel Miami Beach
Congrats to Marty Walker & crew, we'll have to buy them a fancy drink w/ an umbrella. All Kettle Art will be doing is showing at the Art Now Fair at The Claremont Hotel, in Miami Beach, that same week. Dallas own underground favs Sergio Garcia, Cathey Miller, Marie Sena, Mark Nelson, Erica Felicella, Richard Ross, Havi Frost, Judith Lea Perkins and Frank Campagna will also debut new works at this time.

Exhibit Review: Urban Arts Festival in Dallas
That very same evening the second D.E.E.P. 'Deep Ellum Sellum' flea market was also slow, yet profitable. Perhaps one canceled out the other? I can't say for sure... However this Saturday night the Deep Ellum Enrichment Project's Art Walk should be major, encompassing approximately 15 galleries including Pawn, Art Prostitute, Barry Whistler, Road Agent, Studio Fling and of course Kettle Art among others. Things run from 6:00 - 10:00pm. "Embrace your culture"

Charissa Terranova named director of artists residency at UT Dallas
Fact: I know plenty of artists that would be thrilled if Dr. Charissa Terranova, John Pomara, Richard Brettell, Dean Terry Robert Nelsen, or Suzanne Weaver dropped by Kettle Art. On the other hand, chances are most of these luminaries would be thrilled to see what the artists at Kettle are up to. Perhaps Pegasus News can assist us in making them aware of what's going on just outside the schoolyard.
