Dallas, TXBest Art Exhibit
Considering the fact that we don't really like The Smiths (blame our college roommates), we weren't really sure about "Phil Collins: the world won't listen," the three-screen video installation presented earlier this year by the Dallas Museum of Art. But damn, if it wasn't the most entertaining thing we've ever seen in a museum, with the 1987 Smiths compilation, The World Won't Listen, repeating on a loop as fans from Colombia, Turkey and Indonesia sang along karaoke-style on each of the screens. We couldn't begin to pick a favorite image, though the chick in the wrestling mask and the unfortunate looking, teary-eyed Asian man certainly burned themselves into our psyche. We liked it all so much, in fact, that we went right out and got a pompadour.

Dallas, TXBest Friday Night
Enough with overpriced happy hours and the sad effects of forgoing dinner for the movie theater: popcorn tummy. Ew. Instead, head to the Dallas Museum of Art's perfect date, the Late Night. On the third Friday of each month, our beloved purveyor of fine art stays open till Cinderella's curfew. For 10 bucks or less (DMA members and tykes under 12 get in for free), visitors can enjoy art, live music performances, movie screenings (past events have included classics, indie, new releases and art flicks), family activities, lectures and more. And you don't even have to put on heels after that bitch of a work week. Each month brings a new theme and a new chance to work a little casual culture into the weekend. See the new Judd Apatow on Saturday; hit up the DMA for some hot Late Night action come the third Friday.

In the past couple of years, the DMA has been very aggressive in bringing more world class exhibitions to the area.
While in the past it was a solid museum with a worthwhile collection, their Fort Worth counterpart seemed more polished.
There is no question in my mind, that this recent push by the DMA is the result of the revitalization of the downtown art district. With the Nasher Sculpture Garden next door and a new Opera, Theater under construction, people finally think of the DMA as a great day trip.
The DMA has launched a very popular "Night at the Museum" - jazz, special exhibits and programs for the night owls.
I recommend checking out their schedule, because these days you might find crowds at the DMA - a great change from a decade or so ago.
