Dallas - We Know What to Do With Presidents Here
This is a wholly unofficial dallas home page. No one in Dallas but Chris
Koeberle (its creator) has yet endorsed this home page. You have been
warned. (A less whimsical view of Dallas is
also available.)
Weather?
Yes. We have weather in Dallas. It snows between 0 and 3 times every
year, but you probably wouldn't recognise it as snow. Some weeks, it
likes to rain, and will do so endlessly, like a child screaming to hear
its own voice. Other weeks, it decides not to rain at all.
Mostly, the weather in Dallas likes to mess with my schedule, producing
evil weather to match anything i do outdoors in the Dallas area.
Addendum
The weather in Dallas, frightened by my startling indictment, has shaped
up remarkably. i've actually decided to do something outside, and
received warm weather for it. i retract my complaint.
J.R.?
No. Not everyone in Dallas is a rich oil baron. (Everyone in France,
however, does like Jerry Lewis.)
Night Life?
We used to have a very cool club named Slipped Disk Studios (or Records.
Something.) It was run by Greg. Then it became Common Ground, which is
when Chris discovered it. Then it moved. Then it became the Easy Street
Theatre, because that's where it had moved to, and they decided to
randomly change to a sucky name. Now it's gone. Which leaves us with
Arcadia (bad techno), Borrowed Money (country and gone), the Tijuana Yacht Club
(people are there to get laid, not to listen to music), and a lot of
tattoo parlours with names like "Tiggers", "Tattoo You", and "Tattoo".
There's probably some
others, but they're even less cool.
Food?
According to some statistics, Dallas has the most restaurants and bars
per capita in the nation. Chris believes it - he was once able to get to
any of 20 restaurants on foot in under 20
minutes. We also have a lot of
Denny's
- if you're ever in
Dallas and you need a Denny's, get on a large street (preferably Central
Expressway) and drive - you'll almost certainly see one within 20
minutes. Unless you start in the wrong place, which case you might just
see the place where a Denny's once was. But you can go to
Micro Center,
instead.
Purplesaurus Rex?
No. The discontinued flavour of kool-aid is almost impossible
to find in Dallas. Even Chris doesn't have a stash of it, yet. Sorry.
People Who Are Not From Dallas?

It just did. Hope you've enjoyed the tour of Dallas.
