(all events chosen due to impact on neighborhood, national touring artists, involvement with DEEP and DEA and those events which support humanitarian, social, environmental and charitable interests) FYI I will be relaxing next week as I have a major event Sunday night at the Dallas Arboretum with the Dallas Wind Symphony and AFI Dallas (I'll finish the plug by saying it's free, starts at 5:30 and features free entrance to the Arboretum. The Wind Symphony begins at 7 p.m. and AFI will show The Princess Bride around 8:30 p.m., if you have any other questions click here) so I am taking a hiatus from the e-mail blast but will be back the next week with all the info you'll need for the Deep Ellum Art Walk Sept. 13.
