Wallabanger Wednesdays
I’m supposed to be here tonight but I think Plucker’s got the best of me last night. Blech!!
Fuse Restaurant and Lounge 4 pm - 7 pm: $3 domestics, $3 frozen drinks, $3 white wine, $3 red wine, $1 sake / $1 sushi
Maybe you can check it out for me!
Too lazy to be descriptive
But ya gotta check out The Amsterdam’s Bad Ass Jazz Night on Mondays. Although scheduled for 9:30, the kats didn’t start playing till 11 but it was worth the wait. The jam was slammin’ and better than that Balcony Club stuff. The Stellas weren’t bad either.
And finish off your Monday night just around the corner at the Meridian. A laid back crowd and decent Doppel Bock (5.50) that got my expert drinker bud even a little happy.
Do it!
Polling for Dallas’ new mayor
Got this bulletin from mayoral candidate Zac Crain today on myspace.
Please forgive the second bulletin, we know how these things can get to be a nuisance.
However, we’d like to share what Tim Rogers, the Executive editor of D Magazine has to say:
RE: MAYORAL POLL
Wow. If there was any question which of the candidates is more wired, we now know the answer. My guess is that Darrell Jordan, unlike Zac Crain, doesn’t read FrontBurner. I’m also guessing that Jordon doesn’t have a MySpace page and isn’t planning to raise money with a CD compilation of local musicians. If our good buddy Zac makes an impact in this election, it’ll be because he figured out how to use the Internet unlike any Dallas mayoral candidate before him.
Please help us continue sending our message:
Vote for Zac now in the D Magazine Poll
By the way, I should have done this a while ago, but better late than never I guess. I’d like to welcome Zac Crain’s blog to the Hot Blog stand. A thought provoking perspective on the Big D.
Step in the right direction - thank you, New Jersey

NJ court stops short of gay marriage OK
14 minutes ago
New Jersey’s highest court ruled Wednesday that gay couples are entitled to the same rights as heterosexuals, but that lawmakers must determine whether the state will honor gay marriage or some other form of civil union.
Advocates on both sides of the issue believed New Jersey posed the best chance to become only the second after Massachusetts to legalize gay marriage because its high court has a history of extending civil rights protections.
Instead, the Supreme Court stopped short of fully approving gay marriage and gave lawmakers 180 days to rewrite marriage laws to either include gay couples or create new civil unions.
“The issue is not about the transformation of the traditional definition of marriage, but about the unequal dispensation of benefits and privileges to one of two similarly situated classes of people,” the court said in its 4-3 ruling.
New Jersey lawmakers voted to allow domestic partnerships in 2004, but they have been reluctant to delve into the sensitive issue of marriage.
Under domestic partnerships, gay couples have some benefits of marriage, such as the right to inherit possessions if there is no will and healthcare coverage for state workers.
