'A dream is a ... trip the band took'

sundown, Vice Palace host After Party

After a pit-stop at South By on Wednesday, TV on the Radio is headed to Dallas. Despite sold-out shows at the Granada, you can catch them (space per-mitting) at Good Records on Greenville Avenue for a free show at 6 p.m. on Friday, March 20. Priority admittance wristbands will be given to those hav-ing purchased TV on the Radio’s latest album Seeds from Good Records — first-come, first-serve. Still can't make it? Then

In 1988 the “Electric Slide” and the “Robot” were popular dances. Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror,” Eric Camane’s “Hungry Eyes” and Phil Collins’ “Groovy Kind of Love” were in the top 30 on the charts. Fortune Magazine named Dallas/

Fort Worth the “No. 1 business center in the

world.” Local high school football was riddled with scandal. Tom Landry spent his final season as head coach before retiring from the Dallas Cowboys. That same year,

Burke and Jo Barr opened a cozy little, 1,400 sqare foot night club in Old East Dallas, with its only entrance being from the adjacent Lakewood Theatre. They charged $250 to become a member of the Balcony Club, a short-lived practice. G.T. Reed was the exclusive pianist since the club

On Friday, March 6 a bus with 41 Woodrow Wildcat Band students, seven par-ent Band Booster chaperones and Band Director Chris Evetts loaded up a charter bus for the 20 hour bus ride to Orlando, Fla. Money for this trip was raised exclu-sively by the band students through the sale of chocolate bars this past Fall.

The trip had been in planning stages since last April, when a decision was reached by the parent Band Booster organization that is was time for the Band stu-dents to receive a good re-ward for their efforts these past several years. For many, this was the first time ever being out of Dallas and we had some that had never been to Disneyworld before. The bus ride was long but filled with excitement to get the opportunity of a life-time. Although the march-ing day proved to be a long one, with the annual Spring time change, neither lack

He opened each performance, with “My Way” and closed, mid-song, with the comment, “Thank you for choosing The Balcony Club.” Reed contin-ued playing for almost five years, passing away at 70.

Michael Solberg and Tommy Stanco purchased the club in 1991, started opening seven nights a week and added happy hour entertainment. A year later, Solberg left the club in Tommy Stanco’s hands for many years. ‘Big’ Al Dupree took over as house musician and played for 10 years, five nights a week until his death at age 68 in 2004.

Fast forward to 2013, and meet Teddy Davey, new owner of the Balcony Club. He said, “It is absolutely vital that this kind of intimate music lounge survive and thrive in our city and in particular the Balcony Club, with its rich history and deep rooted, personal

If you’re headed Southbound on I-35 this weekend for South By Southwest (SXSW), stop in at this hidden Austin gem for some serious festival fuel: the mighty sandwich. Thomas Gardner — executive chef and co-owner of Republic of Sandwich — was raised in Dallas, so you’ll get to say hello to a familiar face, too.

The Lake Highlands High School graduate’s first independent culinary con-cept is a deli-inspired craft sandwich shop specializing in house-prepared meats and artisanal sides.

The low-profile shop

is already garnering savory reviews from heavy-hitters in Austin’s food scene, and the menu full of creative, hardy sandwiches, sophisticated sides and complex breakfast tacos are sure to leave your mouth watering.

Republic of Sandwich’s Reuben is thoughtfully curat-ed with Gardner’s handcraft-ed pastrami, tangy Russian dressing, melted Swiss cheese and topped with fresh sauer-kraut fermented in Gardner’s kitchen.

connection with the community.”

Davey has an interesting back-ground, with no trace of preparation for a club owner, although he seems to have embraced the learn-ing curve fast. He earned a BFA in act-ing and performance from The University of Texas in Austin. He was a headliner on cruise ships, and in Las Vegas at a num-ber of showrooms. In 2007, he was awarded “Entertainer of the Year” by the Entertainment Consumers’ Exchange in Las Vegas.

The entrepreneur has worked in Dallas theater as an actor, writer, singer and teacher. His local credits in-clude Theatre Three, Dallas Theater Center and the Dallas Shakespeare Festival. He has received awards including the

My children and I got the heck out of Dodge for a couple of days this past spring break. No European or Caribbean trips for us. We were thrilled to get as far away as Rusk, Texas.

It was my Boy Scout son’s idea, which surprised me. Had I thought of the itinerary, I guarantee both my kids would have poo-pooed the thought of such a trip. But he had it all planned out.

We’d drive to Rusk, un-load our camping gear and then ride on a real train, the Texas State Railroad, through the Piney Woods to and from Palestine. Afterward, we’d build a campfire, cook hamburgers and hot dogs and top it all off with real s’mores over the roaring f lames of our creation.

the Art of Camping in the RainBy Nancy Black of logs of wood. And I’ve

been around a lot of camp-fires. It took a while to get our fire going, but it eventu-ally was roaring and warm-ing our toes and food.

Another thing I had forgotten about camping in a state park is that there are other people camping, too. We had the honor of setting up camp next to some truly professional outdoorsmen. I mean these guys had it down to a science, includ-ing the lighter f luid they brought and let us borrow.

We had the misfortune to be positioned between the great campers and a family reunion of seven big tents, each containing at least four children. And all those children had bikes and Big Wheels and all sorts of noisy, moveable toys, which they surrounded us with from dawn until dusk and then dawn again.

Note to self: Research your destination camp-site and its proximity to nearby freeways and family reunions.

We didn’t realize it at the time, but our campsite was approximately 50 feet from the freeway.

When we drove into the park, it seemed very secluded, with windy roads

leading to different camp-ing spots and fishing areas. But it turned out where we ended up backed up to the very busy highway. Piney Woods do not block the sound of cars zooming past at all hours of the night. It was like sleeping on the access road of Central Expressway.

The next drizzling morning, forgetting about our lack of sleep or cold feet, we headed to the fish-ing jetties with fresh Night Crawler worms in hand.

It had been a while since I had fished, but I am proud to say I can still cast a mean line. It was my son that caught a catfish though. We took a photo to prove it and then released the obviously pregnant fish back into the lake.

When it was time for us to pack up and head home, my children and I got sad. Not because we were leav-ing, but because now we had to take down tents and load up the car; then unload it when we got back to Dallas. Definitely not the best part of the trip. But we’re al-ready planning our next adventure.

Red Cross preparing for Volunteer monthBy Jan Hale

The American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give blood during National Volunteer Month this April and make a difference in the lives of patients in need.

The Red Cross salutes the hundreds of thousands of volunteers who help ful-fill its lifesaving mission and encourages others to join their ranks as volunteer blood donors.

Volunteer donors are the only source of blood products for those in need of transfusions.

Donors of all blood types — especially those with types O negative, A negative and B negative — are needed to help ensure blood is available for patients this spring.

Those who are unable to give blood can support blood donations and invite others to make a lifesaving donation by creating a SleevesUp virtual

blood drive at redcrossblood.org/SleevesUp.

To make an appoint-ment to give blood, download the Red Cross Blood Donor app, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Upcoming blood dona-tion opportunities in this area include one on April 1 from 8:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. at Lake Highlands High School. The school is located at 9449 Church Road, Dallas, 75238.

is your teen ready for a summer job?By Jason Alderman

For many teens, there’s nothing more exciting than receiving the first paycheck from a summer job — a sure-fire ticket to fun and freedom. It’s also a great opportu-nity for parents to encourage proper money management.

Parents or guardians need to do some necessary paperwork first. Working teens will need his or her own Social Security Number (SSN) to legally apply for a job. They will also need a SSN to open a bank account to deposit their paychecks. Depending on state law, chil-dren under 18 may have to open bank accounts in their custodial name with their parents or guardians. It is also important for parents to check in with qualified tax or financial advisors about their teen’s earned income, par-ticularly if it may affect any investments under the child’s name.

After that, it’s about en-couraging teens to get a jump on their job search. The recent

job market for American teens has been tough and investigating particular kinds of openings should start months in advance of sum-mer hire. Networking is also important — teens can reach out to friends, neighbors and other trusted adults about potential jobs in the commu-nity. Also, it is never too early for teens to learn resume writing and job interviewing skills. The Practical Money Skills website’s Landing a Job (practicalmoneyskills.com/personalfinance/lifeevents/work/landingjob.php) page offers useful background to help teens get started.

Parents can also assist by monitoring job categories their kids are interested in, encouraging them to meet application deadlines and being aware of federal, state and local child labor laws (youthrules.dol.gov/know-the-limits/index.htm) to steer them from unscrupulous employers.

Technology changes quickly, so tech-savvy teens may be ahead of the game when it comes to searching for work online. Leading job search engines are a destina-tion for seasonal job open-ings, and many allow users to customize searches for spe-cific positions and employers. However, teens may need to be reminded about their so-cial media activity before they begin any job search — any-thing a teen posts publicly on the Internet may be seen by a potential employer.

Banking is another major step in the life of the working teen, though they don’t need to wait for that first job to get started.

Many parents open bank

accounts for their children as early as their first allowance — after all, digital banking makes it easier to monitor and transfer money without a trip to the branch or ATM. Paychecks — on paper or via digital deposit — make fa-miliarity with the banking system an even greater neces-sity. Check with their bank to see what types of accounts are offered for children and teens — some banks offer a wide variety of custodial accounts where parents can track and assist their child’s spending and saving activity.

A teen’s first job is a great opportunity to intro-duce budgeting, saving and long-term investment skills. Your child may be work-ing over the summer to save for a particular desired item — a cellphone or a trip — or more extensive goals like future college expenses. The Practical Money Skills site offers a budgeting tuto-rial (practicalmoneyskills.com/personalfinance/sav-ingspending/budgeting/) and budgeting calculators (practicalmoneyskills.com/calculators/budgetGoals.php?calcCategory=budget) for a range of purposes.

When the job offer comes, there’s one more thing parents can do. Getting hired means a flurry of paperwork that can be confusing; parents can help their children re-view those documents before signature. Most will apply to tax withholding, but such documents might also include special workplace agree-ments that might not always be clear to young workers. When that first paycheck

Bet you won’t have a perfect bracketBy David Mullen

Saturday’s Southeastern Conference semifinal men’s basketball game featured a mismatch. The 32-0 Kentucky Wildcats, the number one team in the country, played the 15-19 Auburn Tigers on a neutral site in Nashville, Tenn. So lopsided was the game that a few Las Vegas sports betting parlors favored the Wildcats by a whopping 24 1/2 points.

When Tigers’ freshman bench player Patrick Keim made a three pointer with :10.1 left in the game, the con-test was over, Kentucky ran out the clock and Auburn’s inevitable fate was sealed. But the fate of those who had bet on the game was still in play. Kentucky won 91 – 67. A 24-point victory for Kentucky meant heartbreak for those that had taken Kentucky and the points. Welcome to the world of betting on NCAA basketball.

Nevada casinos estimate that more than $300 million will be legally bet on March Madness. That is more than was wagered on Super Bowl XLIX and is less than four percent of what will be bet in the U.S. through bookies, online services, bracket pools and amongst friends. The FBI estimates that more than $3 billion will be bet illegally on the NCAA basketball tourna-ment. And according to the AP, an estimated $12 billion worldwide is expected to be wagered.

“The first four days of March Madness is like four days of Super Bowl,” David Pemberton, an executive at Caesars Entertainment in Las Vegas, which runs the Rio Sports Book, said. “It really is madness. It’s like a small bach-elor party. Four, five, six guys

point spreads.In a study done by

DePaul University and re-ported by website Phys.org, the odds of picking a perfect bracket looks like the deficit in my checkbook. Mathematics professor Jeff Bergen said the odds of picking a perfect bracket in the NCAA basket-ball tournament is less than one in 9.2 quintillion. In other words -- or numbers -- that is 1:9,223,372,036,854,775,808. Give or take a billion.

“It would be easier to win the Mega Millions lot-tery two times in a row buy-ing one ticket both times than it would be to get a perfect bracket,” Bergen said. “It’s es-sentially impossible to guess a perfect bracket, but that’s no reason not to have fun with it. People still play to beat their friends or win their office pool.”

Now there is a caveat to those staggering numbers. Even though Sally in the steno pool, Randy the Rhino at the Zoo, the person that picks teams based on mascots or even your grandmother seems to do better in the bracket pool than you do, some NCAA basketball knowledge can be helpful.

“Suppose you know that a

will sit together. A lot of our customers at Rio have been doing it for 20 years. They’ll come in at 9 a.m. and bet the games, and then you have first half wagering and second half wagering and then they can’t wait for the game to be done so they can bet the next game in the bracket.”

“It’s non-stop,” Pemberton said. “We open at 7 a.m., and it will keep going until midnight.”

Casinos in Nevada antici-pate making a profit of around $100 million on NCAA bet-ting. With the University of Kentucky a prohibitive favor-ite, Nevada bettors are look-ing for options. “We set it up where you can bet the whole thing,” Pemberton said. “Of course, we have had that a year long. You can bet individ-ual brackets. With Kentucky such a favorite (even money), you really can’t make any money on them. But we will have people buy Kentucky tickets just to say they had them.”

There are a number of ways to enter a bracket le-gally through online sites like ESPN, FOX Sports and CBS Sports that do not require an entry fee but will payout to the top winners. And most legal and illegal bracket pools don’t require betting against

smokers that Chef Gardner uses to service the restaurant are visible just outside of the shop, beacons of freshness and testaments to the genuine homespun atmosphere of the operation.

Sit outside at one of the tables and feel free to BYOB, too. A mom-and-pop conve-nience store shares Republic of Sandwich’s parking lot and boasts an impressive selection of chilled microbrews and wines.

In addition to the sand-wich staples mentioned above, Gardner rotates a limited-release menu featur-ing seasonal ingredients. In celebration of Thanksgiving, the T.E.D. sandwich (Thanksgiving Every Day) features thick-cut turkey, house citrus cranberry sauce, and jalapeño cornbread dressing for the month of November. Braised pork belly, house-made chicken liver pâté and kimchi and cilantro top off the current rotational creation — the Bahn Yu.

Breakfast is served until 11 a.m. every day. You’ll want to try that too, since the eponymous Republic Taco was recently voted #5 on EaterAustin’s “20 Essential Breakfast Tacos.”

The restaurant is located at 2320 Hancock Dr. at North

Loop Blvd. in the Allandale/ Rosedale neighborhood in Austin. It’s just a few short minutes North of the SXSW epicenter, which means you won’t have to stand up in a crowd while taking a lunch break from the festivities. Hop on the brand new 803 MetroRapid bus line from the Austin History Center Station (NB) in downtown to the North Loop Station to avoid festival traffic like a local.

Republic of Sandwich offers meats and sides by-the-pound, perfect for a picnic on Austin’s Auditorium Shores. They also cater, in addition to dine-in and take out service. Shop hours are 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.

Chef Gardner was previ-ously the Executive Sous Chef at the Carlyle Hotel in New York, NY. He has cooked and managed fine dining kitchens in New York City; Dallas; and Vail, Colo. He trained at the Culinary Institute of America in St. Helena, Calif. and has now opened his first culinary concept inspired by those ex-periences in the town he was born in.

He lives in Austin with his fiancé, Barbara (who is also a LHHS grad) and their three dogs.

Crenshaw to help ring in Kessler's 5thJoin in celebrating five

years of The Kessler Theater. Opened as a music venue

in 2010, with a history dat-ing back to 1941 — The Kessler is excited to mark this milestone with a special night of music with Marshall Crenshaw.

More than 25 years since breaking through to critical and commercial acclaim with his 1982 self-titled debut and its infectious, era-defining pop hit “Someday, Someway,” Crenshaw creates an incred-ible new chapter in his career with Jaggedland.

Born in Detroit, Crenshaw began playing guitar at age 10, and after leading the band Astigafa (an acronym for “a splendid time is guaranteed for all,” from The Beatles’ “For The Benefit of Mr. Kite”), he received his first break playing John Lennon in the Off-Broadway company of “Beatlemania.” In 1987, he played Buddy Holly in the Richie Valens biopic “La Bamba.”

Living in NYC, he recorded the single “Something’s Gonna Happen” for Alan Betrock’s Shake Records, which led to a deal with Warner Bros. His debut album was acclaimed as a pop masterpiece upon its release in 1982 and es-tablished him as a first-rate songwriter, singer and gui-tarist. The record spawned the Top 40 single “Someday, Someway.” Crenshaw’s sec-ond album, 1983’s Field Day, was another critical smash and led to a successful slate of 20-plus years of studio recordings.

As Crenshaw was de-veloping Jaggedland’s mix of songs, he ventured once again into the film world, co-penning the title track to the

By Diane Prevenslik hilarious, critically acclaimed John C. Reilly film “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story;” the track was nominated for a 2008 Golden Globe and a 2008 Grammy Award.

The HillBenders are up next.

The dynamic bluegrass quintet from Springfield, Mo. with their high-octane shows, tight harmonies and stunning instrumental prowess, have been winning fans and mak-ing waves at every festival they have been invited and consequently re-invited to since their formation in 2008.

Forty five years after its

original release, this classic of classic rock, The Who’s Tommy, has now been fully realized as a full length bluegrass tribute by the HillBenders.

Conceived and pro-duced by SXSW co-founder and longtime musician/pro-ducer Louis Jay Meyers, this Bluegrass Opry brings a new perspective to Tommy while paying total respect to its creators.

Originally composed by guitarist Pete Townshend as a rock opera that tells the story about a deaf, dumb and blind boy, including his experiences

with life and the relationship with his family. the original album has sold 20 million copies and has been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for “historical, artistic and significant value.”

Tickets for The Kessler’s Fifth Anniversary with Marshall Crenshaw and The HillBenders on March 20 and information about April’s concerts are available at the theater’s website thekessler.org.

Doors for the bar, lobby and kitchen open 6 p.m., the-ater doors at 6:30 p.m., shows start at 7:30 p.m.

BALCony cont'd frompage 1

Lorena is a local performer, who recently completed her second run in Echo Theater’s production of “Her Song” at the Bath House Cultural Center. She’s a social media specialist, who is promoting the Club. The couple lives in Lakewood.

The owner added, “Many accolades have come our way over the years, everything from ‘best jazz club’ to ‘best place to take a date’ to ‘best ambience,’” he said. Esquire Magazine named the Club one of “America's Top 100 bars.”

He continued, “Couples have met here, married here, come back years later for their anniversaries and brought their kids here.”

Although food isn’t served, a number of area restaurants will deliver to the Club. The Balcony Club offers music by some of the area’s most popular artists. White Rock’s legend-ary Kenny Daniel Band plays on Thursdays and Saturdays. Dallas’ sweetheart, Liz Mikel performs the Entertainers Showcase regularly.

Other vocalists and bands performing jazz, classic rock, soul, funk and R&B are fea-tured seven nights a week, including happy hours. More

of them are Alex Rivera Quintet; Shifters; Jonathan Fisher Trio and Filter Kings. John Adams and William Foley’s Elite Jazz Jam; Miss Marcy and her Texas Sugardaddy also perform, as does East Dallas’ Cheap, Fast and Easy, who perform ’70s rock and folk every Friday’s happy hour from 6 until 9 p.m. Their bandleader Ric Phiffer passed away last month.

Events include the GB Jazz Workshop and Jam; Balcony’s Blues jam hosted by Lance Lopez and John Adams and William Foley’s Elite Jazz Jam.

According to Davey, “We host a Jazz Master Series featur-ing the finest jazz players in our city including Jason Bucklin, Mike Drake, Dave Zoller, Myles Tate III, Mahogony, Caleb McCampbell, Todd Parsnow and Keith Anderson.”

We asked the owner what he’s doing to dispel the periodic myths about the Club clos-ing. He answered, “The Club is part of a quickly changing

Lakewood landscape. We hear all kinds of stories from all kinds of sources. We will all continue to hear these things.”

“We are working hard to get the good news out that we’re alive and thriving,” Lorena Davey said. “Patrons’ word of mouth is our best ally,” she added.

Davey said, “We are work-ing with student groups to share their music with us so we can encourage and celebrate the next generation of perform-ers.” He concluded by saying that Balcony Club’s lease ex-pires in January 2016. “We are looking forward to continuing our relationship with our land-lords as long as possible.”

The Balcony Club offers live music seven nights a week and happy hour. Some of the area’s most popular artists are regulars.

There has been a lot of talk about BBQ lately in Dallas; it seems everyone who didn’t open upscale burger joints in the past couple of years are now opening bar-becue joints. And along with each new spot come droves of rabid fans who love or hate it. For every person that adores Lockhart in Oak Cliff, there’s one that says the Slow Bone in the Design District is better. There are those who swear by Meshack’s or Off the Bone in the Cedars neighborhood. But one place seems to be univer-sally adored, with crowds that will wait in line upwards of several hours to get their BBQ fix: Pecan Lodge.

By now, everyone knows the story of Pecan Lodge. Started in 2010 as a cater-ing company at the Dallas Farmer’s Market, they were soon christened as possi-bly the best BBQ in Dallas by none other than BBQ guru Daniel Vaughn. They were forced to shut down the stand in Shed 2 in May 2014 but were able to re-open in their new Deep Ellum digs a couple of weeks later. Unsurprisingly, the crowds followed immediately.

I am generally opposed to waiting in line for hours for anything. But I knew I needed to sample the wares at Pecan Lodge, so, hoping a weekday would be some-what less jam-packed than a weekend, I set out to take my chances. On a Tuesday after-noon we were in line for all of five minutes before we placed our order; a Friday lunch involved about 40 minutes of waiting.

The way to go, in my opinion, is the three-meat plate: your choice of brisket,

sausage, ribs or pulled pork, and one side. Ribs and sau-sage were obvious choices. I have experienced enough cottony brisket to be hesitant in ordering it, but it’s quintes-sential Texas BBQ (and theirs comes highly recommended), so I gave it a shot. (And I can-not resist fried chicken, so that had to happen also.)

The brisket was smoky and tender, with just a hint of that gorgeous red smoke ring that BBQ aficionados demand. It was not at all fatty but still deliciously moist and flavorful.

A perfectly charred crust brought it home. Pork ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender and sweetly smoky. Smoked sausage has a very pleas-ing coarse texture that is only present in handmade versions.

Fried chicken is also

outstanding. I may be bi-ased because they offer the thigh and a wing (instead of the more popular breast and drumstick), which are my two favorite pieces. But it was among the best chicken I’ve tried in Dallas (completely outshining some I’ve tried for twice the price).

You might expect the sides to seem like after-thoughts. But they were obvi-ously given as much consid-eration as the meat offerings on the menu, so are worthy partners. Mac and cheese is creamy and tangy (we or-dered it with bacon, which, why wouldn’t you?); fried okra is standard (and thus ex-actly what I wanted); and col-lard greens are tender, slightly sweet and loaded with smoky bacon. (I did want a little more acid in the collards, but I’m okay with adding that at

the table.)Pulled pork is usually

my choice, so I chose that on a sandwich. The pork was everything it should be: smoky, sweet and meltingly tender. It didn’t come with any sauce, and to be honest, I didn’t miss it.

The Hot Mess, a salt-baked sweet potato topped with barbacoa and chipotle sour cream was a revelation. The sweet potato was almost caramelized, and a cumin-scented barbacoa played off its sweetness perfectly. I can’t stop thinking about it.

Less memorable was the side of cole slaw we shared. Bland and barely dressed, it was rendered even more lackluster when compared to everything else on the table. A not-too-sweet banana pud-ding was obviously made from scratch, with a rich but

The idea of watching Liam Neeson and Ed Harris square off as Irish mobsters on the streets of New York sounds great. Seeing these two grizzled, weathered ac-tors trying to out-thug each other should turn out to be a swell movie.

But because of extremely lazy and sloppy storytelling, it’s pretty easy to see where “Run All Night” is heading about 10 minutes into the movie. The gangster movie clichés are lurking around every corner, waiting to pounce your ears with clunky dialogue and foreshadow-ing that is as subtle as a jackhammer.

Neeson’s Jimmy Conlon is a fallen-down drunk (again, Liam?) who was once a highly respected hit man for Ed Harris’ super rich mob boss, Shawn Maguire. Now, Jimmy is left to pass out on bar benches while his mates bust his chops for sleep-induced flatulence. The only use that Jimmy seems to have is to be intentionally embarrassed by Shawn’s son, Danny (Boyd Holbrook), who asks him to dress up as Santa for a ritzy Christmas party.

The marketing for “Run All Night” doesn’t hide the fact that via remarkable acts of coincidence, Jimmy ends up putting Danny six feet underground. This all involves Albanian crimi-nals, drug deals gone wrong and Jimmy’s estranged limo driver son, Mike (Joel Kinnaman).

While the action scenes make “Run All Night” work, almost every single word said in between is painful. Jimmy and Shawn talk about “being together until the end” repeatedly, essentially tell-ing every audience member what is going to happen with these two. It also hurts that once Jimmy gets to Mike, his constant reminders that he doesn’t want his son to end up like him become tedious, thus losing the meaning.

Brad Ingelsby’s script wants you to connect with the relationships that all these characters have and the real complexity of the situation. Every single time that Jimmy stops Mike from doing some-thing he’ll regret, he spells out exactly why he’s doing it. At some point, enough is

moVie tRAiLeR

neeson seems taken by role in ‘Run All night’By Chic DiCiccio

enough and it’s time to let the actions speak for themselves.

The action in “Run All Night” is never dull. Not only does the movie show the parts of New York that are never shown on film, it’s all done in exceptional ways. A long car chase on narrow city streets is about as thrilling as your standard movie car chase can be. Jimmy’s brutally violent and in your face fist fight in a tiny subway restroom is equal parts jarring, bloody and gross.

But the finest sequence in the entire movie involves another hit man, Price (Common), chasing Jimmy and Mike up and down an apartment building in the projects. This happens as police are surrounding the building and an apartment actually catches on fire, while Jimmy, Mike and Price dan-gle and jump from balcony to balcony.

Most of this has become old hat for Neeson and direc-tor Jaume Collet-Serra, who are now on their third film collaboration. Collet-Serra

The coming week is likely to see most individuals dealing with new arrivals in their lives of one kind or another — arriv-als that will require immediate and ongoing attention. It mat-ters not exactly what this new element in a person's life may be; what is important is that it is likely to bring change — per-haps subtle and hardly notice-able, perhaps overt and widely recognized. This can, in many cases, actually redefine one's situation in such a way that he may consider himself a very dif-ferent person as a result. Suffice it to say that the old ways aren't likely to apply after this week — literally or figuratively, prac-tically or ideologically.

Indeed, this one fact — that what worked last week will not work next week — is the key for everyone. It can prove a driving force that leads each individual to accept responsi-bility for things in a new way, to take charge in no uncertain terms, and effectively to get back on top — whether the catalytic event is positive or negative.

ARies (march 21-April 4)

What you had planned to do next week will very likely have to be moved up, requiring you to pick up the pace of your preparations. (April 5-April 19) – Others admire how you can remain seemingly aloof when things get difficult, but in fact,

you know you are in over your head.

tAuRus (April 20-may 5

Being grateful is the key to al-most everything. You will want to express your gratitude in ways that no one can misinter-pret. (may 6-may 20) – A ren-dezvous with an old friend al-lows you to do more than catch up; a business proposition is made that can yield almost im-mediate results.

Gemini (may 21-June 6)

Keep quiet when asked to keep quiet, and speak up when asked to speak up. Such behav-ior can do much more for you than expected. (June 7-June 20) – Those who have gotten in your way in the past are likely to yield to you now — perhaps for a hidden reason.

CAnCeR (June 21-July 7)

You'll want to take care that you're not relinquishing re-sponsibility for something that is actually quite impor-tant to you. (July 8-July 22) – Someone far from home will very likely exert a strong influ-ence on you throughout the week — with mostly expected results.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 7)

You may be used to summing things up quickly and neatly

for yourself, but not every-thing can be reduced to a clever saying. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – You may want to wait for a certain volatile situation to subside before putting a plan into motion.

ViRGo (Aug. 23-sept. 7)

Many things are going to spark memories for you. Ultimately, you may want to revisit a key moment from your past. (sept. 8-sept. 22) – Things may not be as you remembered them, but you can still enjoy a nostal-gic trip to your old stomping grounds.

LiBRA (sept. 23-oct. 7)

You may want to go back over your current plans very carefully before putting them into motion. Obstacles might surprise you. (oct. 8-oct. 22) – You may feel as though your energy and enthusiasm are at an all-time low, but you're actually just getting ready.

sCoRPio (oct. 23-nov. 7)

It's been a long time since a certain someone reached out to you. What's keeping you from reaching out yourself? It's a complicated question. (nov. 8-nov. 21) – The reaction you get from others may not meet your expectations, and it could compel you to make unantici-pated changes.

sAGittARius (nov. 22-Dec. 7)

Minor changes reap major ben-efits. Don't be afraid of tinker-ing when such adjustments surely serve you well. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – Others are inter-ested in what you are doing — more so, perhaps, than you are yourself!

CAPRiCoRn (Dec. 22-Jan. 6)

You and a friend or partner may be separated, but every effort will be made to bring you back together by week's end. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – There's no reason to think that the rift that has developed between you and another must be permanent; a solution is at hand.

AQuARius (Jan. 20-Feb. 3)

Once the momentum builds, you'll find that it's merely a matter of staying the course to finish what you've started. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – A rival may be ready to bury the hatchet, but he or she is waiting for you to say something that is long overdue.

PisCes (Feb. 19-march 5)

The most basic resources will prove the most valuable. You cannot afford to be waste-ful or inefficient. (march 6-march 20) – You can almost certainly satisfy another's high expectations — and they are very high!

has mastered the art of show-ing Neeson in the coolest possible way. His direction uses practical effects and the actors appear to be doing most of their own stunt work, which adds to the realism of “Run All Night.”

Harris’ appearance amounts to cameo status, as he appears in four or five scenes at most. Harris and Neeson are fantastic during a confrontational conversa-tion at a restaurant, while on the other end of the spec-trum, another scene with a talk about their past is con-voluted and forced. Harris is a pro, rarely phoning in a role, which he does not do here even though the script screams for it.

Neeson is Neeson. He growls, cracks wise and looks super cool with a cigarette dangling from his mouth as he fires away at all enemies with a seemingly endless sup-ply of ammunition. The clock is ticking how long Neeson can keep it up as an action star, but there may be much more time on said clock than

once believed.Oddly enough, for a

movie being sold as a nonstop action flick, “Run All Night” works best during the calm of the storm. Neeson and Kinnaman play off of each other with ease, and they make the intolerable dialogue almost tolerable. There is only one scene with Vincent D’Onofrio’s homicide detec-tive and Neeson’s Jimmy, and it is the best writing in the en-tire movie, making you wish they had more screen time to share.

If not for the forced dia-logue and an extremely ill-advised opening scene that pretty much tells everyone watching exactly how the movie will end, “Run All Night” is a decent gangster movie. It’s made better by the screen presence of the three leads Neeson, Harris and Kinnaman. Hopefully, Collet-Serra gets his hands on a better script that isn’t loaded with obvious foreshadowing then gets Neeson involved again. These two definitely have a greater movie in them.

So, good luck on your quest for the perfect bracket. But just in case, I suggest you may want to consider more of a sure thing. Go buy one Mega Millions ticket as backup.

Fairgoers packing their bags for 2015 state Fair of texasBy Karissa Condoianis

Get your bags packed and your road maps ready — the State Fair of Texas is just around the corner, bring-ing you an all-access pass to Texas-sized fun! A celebra-tion of all things Texan, the State Fair encourages visitors to explore the great Lone Star State and all it has to offer. A combination of entertain-ment, art, agriculture, his-tory and cuisine, the State Fair provides fairgoers with

a unique way to experience every aspect of Texas culture, all in one place. With that in mind, the State Fair invites you to grab your family and friends and start planning your trip to the 2015 Fair, themed “Passport to Texas.” This year’s exposition will run Friday, September 25 through Sunday, October 18 at historic Fair Park in Dallas.

Following a record-breaking 2014 season, Fair officials look forward to an-other year of bringing people

together in celebration of the big event. Whether you’re from near or far, the State Fair wants to show you the true Texas experience. “After 128 years of bringing quality entertainment to the commu-nity, the State Fair continues to celebrate Texas heritage, including its significant ties to agriculture and education,” explained Mitchell Glieber, State Fair of Texas president. “Seeing friends and families come back year after year re-minds us that the Fair is more

than just an annual event — it is an institution unique to the state of Texas that serves as one of the many special tra-ditions our great state has to offer.”

Although last year’s Fair seems like just yesterday, September will be here before you know it, which means the State Fair of Texas team is already in full planning mode for the 2015 season. Aiming to further “Texify”

Keeping dogs happy requires places to frolicBy Susan Strough

Dallas is stepping it up when it comes to dog friendli-ness. Dog is the new kid for many people and much like people’s attachment to their kids they feel the same about their dogs. The more places they can take their dog the happier the owner and the happier the dog. Dallas of-fers dog parks, dog friendly patios, dog friendly hotels and dog friendly residential and commercial buildings all doing what they can to please their patrons and attract new money.

Dog parks like the one at White Rock Lake are build-ing new and better attrac-tions to please our dog loving city. The White Rock Dog Park at Mockingbird Point’s renovation is estimated to cost between $1 million and $1.5 million. Residents of the city wait anxiously for the amazing renovations to be trampled by their four-legged children when the park re-opens mid-2015.

Restaurateurs such as Jim and Cindy Hughes of famed Bread Winners and the new Henry’s Majestic know the importance of letting dogs cast their shadows on the pa-tios of their restaurants. I’ve been using Bread Winners for quite some time as a place to

take my students so they can flex their newly trained obe-dience muscles as they down and stay through my dessert. I look forward to doing the same at Henry’s Majestic this spring.

The hotels that allow my pooch are the ones who win my business when I travel. The W is perhaps one of the dog friendliest hotels in the city with their concierge

service and dog treats. The W has created P.A.W. (pets are welcome) for their guests. Doggie visitors are greeted with a toy, treat, hotel tags and poop bags. When they get to their room they find a pet bed, water and food bowls and mat, as well as a turndown treat and a pet-in-room door sign. In addition to all this, they provide the pet parent with resources for

specialty pet stores, and con-cierge can arrange for ser-vices such as grooming and walking.

Residential build-ings have had to acquiesce throughout the years as more of our child free residents don’t want to live without a dog. With residential build-ings like ilume Park they don’t have to consider the alternative. ilume Park rises

above the rest by offering canine-friendly perks such as enclosed walking trails that wind through a 700-foot pri-vate dog walk, and park that has two off-leash play areas and a bone-shaped splash lagoon created exclusively for dogs. ilume Park also offers a professional dog wash/groom studio and an exclusive dog lounge. ilume Park may be the most canine accommo-dating residential building I’ve seen in Dallas.

Commercial build-ings are following the lead of residential buildings. Grant Guidry, an employee

at Dallas digital marketing agency MEplusYOU, is not only allowed but encouraged to bring his dog to work. At his office you’ll find a fenced area where the dogs can take a recess or potty break, treats at the receptionist desk and an all-access pass for the pooches.

No conference room is off limits to these fur babies. Being able to bring his Beagle, Isabella, to work makes Grant a happy employee as he doesn’t have to worry about drop offs and pickups at day care or the fees at-tached. With his dog at work, he is comfortable that he is in charge of her health and safety.

Dallas may have a ways to go to rival some cities such as Austin, San Diego and Portland for dog friendli-ness, but we are catching up quickly. I hope to see more concessions made for dogs in our great city as time goes on because nothing makes a resident or visitor enjoy their time in a city more than hav-ing their beloved dog with them as much as possible.

the fairgrounds, the State Fair began the “Texification” project in 2014 with a series of additions and enhancements, including Texas-themed signage and flags throughout the grounds, as well as all-new Lone Star themed floats and music in the nightly Starlight Parade. To promote the infinite opportunities for family-friendly fun around the state, the Fair recently launched an “#ExploreTexas” campaign through its email newsletter, with components on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. This interactive campaign highlights a wide range of travel destinations throughout the state, as well as their historical significance and cultural attractions. In line with this initiative, and serving as an extension of last year’s “Texification” proj-ect, the 2015 theme aims to further support travel and tourism within the state. “Passport to Texas” encourag-es you to get out and discover some of Texas’ hidden gems while road tripping your way to the State Fair. Serving as a perfect end destination of a cross-country road trip or a trip down the street, the Fair brings people from all over to experience Texas tradition and all it encompasses.

Mark your calendars for “Passport to Texas,” where there’s no need to travel abroad to experience culture and history — you can find it right here in the Lone Star State. Big Tex will be waiting to extend a hearty “Howdy” to each of you when the gates swing open on Friday, Sept. 25.

2015 DFw Auto show rolls into townAutomoBiLes

For 33 years, the DFW Auto Show has been THE tool for consumers who are researching and refin-ing the new vehicles that are on their shopping lists. This year, the doors to the Dallas Convention Center will open March 25-29 with an offering of more than 650,000 square feet of vehicles showcas-ing the latest in cutting edge design, technology and fuel economy.

“I've been going to the Show since its inception when it was held at Market Hall and the ‘Cars were the Stars,’” said Don Herring Jr., 2015 DFW Auto Show chairman.

“Over the years differ-ent manufacturers have come and gone, many concept cars have wowed visitors, but the excitement and atmosphere of the Show has always been the best part,” Herring said. “When 400,000 people come to see the latest models at a Show that includes almost every manufacturer and takes up almost all of the Dallas Convention Center, there is nothing else like it.”

An impressive lineup of all new or redesigned ve-hicles for 2015 is scheduled to appear at the DFW Auto

Show this year including: Acura TLX; Audi A3, S3 and Q3; BMW i8; Chevrolet Colorado, Trax and City Express; Chrysler 300; Ford Expedition, Mustang, F-150 and Focus; GMC Canyon; Honda CR-V and Fit; Hyundai Genesis; Land Rover Discovery Sport; Lexus RC F and NX Hybrid; Lincoln MKC; Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG Coupe, S65 Sedan AMG and AMG GT S; MINI Hardtop John Cooper Works; Nissan Murano; Porsche Macan; RAM 1500 Laramie Limited; Subaru Legacy, Outback and WRX/WRX STI; and Toyota Camry.

Some manufacturers are even getting a heard start on next year by spotlight-ing their 2016s including: the Texas debut of the Nissan Titan; Nissan Black Edition GT-R; Acura ILX, MDX and RDX: Audi A6 and A7; Buick Cascada, Cadillac ATS V Coupe, Chevrolet Volt, Fiat 500X, Ford Explorer, and Mazda CX5 Grand Touring and M6G Grand Touring. In addition, the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor will be making its Dallas debut!

Visitors can “dream” in the High End area where Aston Martin, Bentley, McLaren, Maserati and Rolls

Royce will showcase their $100,000+ vehicles including: Aston Martin Rapide, DB9, V12 Vantage and V8 Vantage; Bentley Flying Spur and GT Speed Convertible; Maserati Ghibli and Quattroporte; McLaren Spider; and Rolls Royce Wraith. Aston Martin also will be spotlighting the One-77, one of only 77 in the world and the first of three to be allowed in the United States. In addition, the DFW Auto Show is pleased to an-nounce that Alfa Romeo will be a highlighted exhibitor this year.

Returning for the second consecutive year will be the indoor RAM Trucks Ride & Drive where professional drivers will steer participants through an interactive ad-venture zone in a 2015 RAM 1500. The outdoor Ride & Drive Friday-Sunday will feature more than 60 ve-hicles from Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC Trucks; Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep and RAM; Ford, Kia, Mazda and Toyota to choose from for test drives through the streets of downtown Dallas.

This year, the DFW Auto Show is proud to once again be joining forces with the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) for yet another “Fuel

Up North Texas” event. Not only will DFW Auto Show attendees receive $1 off a $12 admission for one donated canned good, but the Dallas Fort Worth Metropolitan New Car Dealers Association (DFW NCDA) dealer mem-bers are being challenged to collect food from their em-ployees, families and custom-ers. Items that are especially needed include: peanut but-ter, canned tuna or chicken, canned or dried beans, low sodium soups, stew, chili and canned vegetables.

Additional exhibits and displays to round out a full entertainment experience at the Show include: approxi-mately 100 classic vehicles from Corvette Classics, Dallas Classic Chevys, Lone Star Corvette Club, North Texas Mustang Club, Pack Automotive Museum and Z Club: an Aftermarket Area with an array of products

and services; and first time exhibitor Southwest Heritage Racing Association, which will feature classic dragsters.

“Kids’ Zone” powered by Kidventure will return Friday evening through Sunday. The area, which will once again be sponsored by the Classic Family of Dealerships, will feature a 24-foot inflatable duel slide, a Monster Truck Bounce House, Adrenaline rush Obstacle Course, a Grand Prix for kiddos five years old and under and an Art Center Station.

Tickets are $12 for adults, $5 for senior citizens 65 and older and children ages 6-12, and children five and under are admitted free. $1 discount coupons are available at par-ticipating franchised new car dealerships.

For more information, and to purchase tickets on-line, visit DFWAutoShow.com.

Neighborhood Home Sales Update

MLS Data for Feb., 2015

This home is located at 6831 Fisher Road, Dallas and is listed for $3.4 million.

By Candy Evans

Why I love Dallas real estate: A Hill Country eques-trian estate right near White Rock Lake with a $1.5 million reduction!

Ever since I saw this home on the market back in 2012, I have been in love. This has become one of those pie-in-the-sky “If I won the lot-tery” homes. Or “If I marry rich” someday. It’s a house that has so much going for it in a fantastic location and at a fabulous price, too.

Let’s be honest: this home has such outstanding value considering that you get a beautiful, luxurious Hill Country contemporary home with five bedrooms, four full and two half baths with more than 5,900 square feet on a whopping 4.2 acres for $3.4 million!

When we first wrote about this home at 6831 Fisher Road awhile back, it was priced at $4.9 million. That’s a $1.5 million reduc-tion! The home is marketed by Judy Garrett and Rob Elmore

of Dave Perry-Miller and Associates.

Besides the wide open spaces and barn — yes, I said barn — this home, which was recently remodeled, feels like an estate in the wine country. There’s a very classy chicken coop on the property, and there’s a walk-in climate-con-trolled bottle closet that will make any oenophile weak in the knees. Seriously, the floor is made out of wine corks!

You get four living areas, two dining areas, three fire-places, stables for six horses, a tack building, fenced pastures, a heated and cooled pool, outdoor kitchen, cabana, koi pond, a three-car attached garage plus an additional two-car detached garage, multiple covered patios, a water recla-mation system to irrigate the pastures, and so much more. So very much more.

Plus, everything is done

to the most luxurious stan-dards, with high-end gran-ite and stone covering the counters and walls of the kitchen and bathrooms, cus-tom cabinetry everywhere, a hard-wearing standing-seam metal roof, great floor-to-ceiling windows and com-mercial grade appliances. This is a house for an animal lover, someone who wants to feel

like they’re away from it all while still having an in-town address.

Not to mention that this home is fantastically close to White Rock Lake, though it feels like you’re in the Napa Valley. Seriously, where else would you get these close-in clusters of rolling acreage right inside the LBJ Loop? Nowhere! Dallas real estate

is the best, and this home is a prime example of why!
