Well, most of our friends are planning Memorial Day Weekend celebrations and we really haven’t a whole lot of events to report so why not go out and visit the resting places of some of your favorite veterans and show your gratitude for their service. Maybe buy a person in uniform a drink? Have a great weekend!
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go out and check out some cool stuff; then report back here to let us know how it was!

Well, it finally happened! The Weekend has arrived, so what are we going to do about it? How about this stuff…
Fort Worth Arts Goggle
When? Saturday, May 19th from 4PM til 10PM
Where? Near Southside, Fort Worth
What?
ArtsGoggle, the twice-yearly celebration of art, artists and music in Fort Worth, Texas’ Near Southside, is expecting another tremendous turnout on Saturday, May 19, 2012 and October 13, 2012 from 4 to 10 pm.
Since its inception in 2003, ArtsGoggle has evolved into a popular festival of the arts in this eclectic neighborhood of historic elegance and urbanism immediately south of the central business district of Fort Worth. This free to the public, family-friendly event attracts a crowd as diverse as the neighborhood itself with live music, artistic displays of every kind, food, drink, and fun for everyone. Public support has increased rapidly, as evidenced by ArtsGoggle’s selection as the Best Gallery Art Show of the Last 12 Months by Fort Worth Weekly readers in 2007 and 2008.
On top of that we hear our friends from Feed Your Head will be there in their bus with the Hippie Gypsy Drum Jam in full effect!
GO SEE STUFF, DO THINGS AND SEE SOME MORE STUFF AND DO SOME MORE THINGS. NOW! GO! GO! GO!
