[ October 10, 2009; ] Whoa. Whoa. Stop right there. TED is one of the most prominent conferences in the world. Tickets to attend are $6,000 and presenters have included people like President Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Bill Page, and Elizabeth Gilbert. Because our only chance of seeing TED Talks is online, and "in the spirit of ideas worth spreading," TEDx has been creeping up in local areas like London, Paris, Boston, and now Dallas!

[ October 9, 2009; 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm. ] Wilco will be playing at the Palladium Ballroom on Friday, October 9th!

For the last 2 years I've been waiting for Wilco to announce they would be coming to Dallas. Wilco had announced their tour dates back in the Spring of 2009 and Texas was nowhere on the list. So this comes as a huge surprise for all the Texas fans out there when they announced the additional Texas cities to their tour.

I think of the stair step in my work as going up to life. That's where the UP comes in and the name of the show. It's UP, it's about joy, it's about life, and going after life with gusto. - Roberta Harris

And/Or Gallery Press Release #23: A final music installation and dance party to celebrate And/Or Gallery's move to NYC (Fall 2009), The House of Dang's relocation to a design studio in Oakcliff and their new clothing line to open with Launch, at the Galleria (Fall 2009).

In the gallery during this party, we're creating a replica of a rave, which you may notice is not dissimilar from shows we've put on before except for the volume. Video content will be provided by our artists: Kevin Bewersdorf, Paul Slocum, Guthrie Lonergan, Tom Moody, Marcin Ramocki, Kristin Lucas, Michael Bell-Smith, and Travis Hallenbeck. The music will be a mixture of house and rave-appropriate techno, selected by Paul Slocum. The playlist will include remixes and new material by Tree Wave. It's the LAST DANCE!
