One of the things I love about Dallas, is that there is no shortage of things to do. Educational, cultural, culinary, charitable, fashion-oriented, spiritual... you want it, Dallas serves it up! Every week there are literally dozens of options to entertain and enlighten yourself or create moments that you'll carry with you for a lifetime. Here are my highlights for this week:

Fall is all about football and one of the nation’s biggest rivalry’s will be battling it out on the football field this next weekend in the Texas/OU Red River Rivalry!
Now, there are different ways one can approach this event, if you want a more luxe, VIP experience the Fashion Industry Gallery invites Texas students, alumni, friends, and fans to come paint the town burnt orange, on Friday, October 12th at FIG with the best of breed beer, wine, spirits, and eats from top Texas restaurants. Enjoy live music, dancing, and raffle prizes in the heart of Dallas – a one stop shop for Texas fans to kick off the big weekend!

If you are looking for a more casual experience, head over to Uptown and stake out a spot at one of my favorite clients, Urban Taco on McKinney Ave.
They will be showing the big game on 9 flat screen TVs and a JUMBO projector!! Enjoy their brunch menu from 9am to 1pm featuring $10 bottomless margaritas and mimosas!
Order from their regular menu or game day menu. They'll have great drink specials until 10PM! ~ $16 beer buckets (Sol, Tecate, Dos Equis Lager) ~ $2 Team Shots ~ $5 house Margaritas and Mojitos ~ $3 Dos Equis Lager Drafts
