Sour Grapes handed lemons, make lemonade

I wrote a story on Friday about the Sour Grapes crew, a graffiti-oriented art collective out of Oak Cliff. They had a big art show scheduled for Saturday -- but at the last minute (Friday night), the gallery scheduled to host the show lost electricity. A contractor could not make it out in time to fix the problem.

The quick-thinking Sour Grapes guys kept their Saturday date and time, but moved the show to Omega's Mexican restaurant a few blocks away. The report, from Miguel Donjuan, who's the guy crouching down in the photo above:

There was a headcount of 120 by 7:45! People were enjoying art, eating, buying shirts, jamming to some classic Salsa. It was a huge success!

Good to hear it, guys.

Girls night out for women in their 40's

Got an email last Friday from a reader asking me where she should take a group of out-of-town single girlfriends who wanted to go dancing. All of them were in their 40's.

New ultra lounge in Addison

Hanging out at the Nodding Dog cafe this weekend -- their oatmeal is fabulous, by the way -- I saw a flyer with a half-naked guy on the cover, advertising a new club in Addison called Posh Ultra Lounge. Of course I was intrigued. (Anything with Posh in the title and I am so there, especially if it is followed by the word "Becks.") The address identified the place as being next to Carson's Live.

Google alludes that this place might be a swingers-type place. Or at least attract some very scantily clad people.

Anyone know anything else about it? Reflection was the name of Carson's old neighbor.
