G.R.i.D. (Get Rich in Dallas)

A band I have no interest in but if you do, the Gypsy is giving away tickets. Read on:

Alright, we’re giving away another pair of tickets to see Yonder Mountain String Band this Friday night at the Gypsy Ballroom. In order to win, just be the first person to post a comment on our page reading “Give me Yonder tickets!” at 2 PM and you’ll be our winner.

Easy enough, right?

Here’s a video showing what Yonder Mountain is all about.

I have a headache behind my eye so I’m just going to let them explain this: 

ATTN: Hot Girls!! We need You!

This is a casting call for all you beautiful ladies! Fellas, if you know a hot lady, let her know about this too! We’re looking for the hottest girls in DFW to be Ticketchicks!

That is if you’re not watching the Mavs as I will be. Check out Murray St. Coffee Shop in Deep Ellum. Quite possibly the best coffee shop in town. Hadn’t been there in a while but last night was just like old times. Their Wednesday nights are a little more happening though, what with a DJ and all. DJ Zoe spins the grooves as opposed to the jams and not only that, they’ll be having happy hour on their beer and wine. Not just your average coffee shop.

Welcome to the newest segment of GRiD. The Standing Ovation where we simply can’t give anything less to the honoree. And without a doubt, it’s going to this man, whom you may just see later in the week in my blog. Wink.

A career high of 34 points in a game and simply the man last night against the Supersonics. Congratulations, Austin Croshere.

Welcome to GRiD’s first giveaway. I’m just hoping it goes over better than my garage sale. Fair warning, day two is coming up on that.

I have two tix for this week’s Powerpop show at the Granada. Well, that’s how they described it on their myspace page. And so you may ask what is the show? Oh, just the following:

Black Tie Dynasty (who I can’t get enough of)

The Crash That Took Me (including members of DARYL, BTD and The Earlies)

Faux Fox

Smile Smile.

Some great stuff in there. Trust me. You want tickets? Sure thing. Only if you write me a blog entry with some weird Dallas tidbit or news or music item or whatever. Just send ‘em to grid_blog@yahoo.com I may even have some more tix to give away later.

Or will this attempt to reach out go down in flames like my sale? Sigh.
