Industrial Hemp:

Texas State Senate Unanimously Passed House Bill 1325 Making It Legal To Grow

or thousands of years, Hemp was legal to farm. With over 25,000 uses, it was an excellent crop for farmers, it was good for the environment, it was good for the economy, and it was good for society. But somehow that got all turned around.In 1937 the Marijuana Tax act was implemented. Although it did not criminalize marijuana or hemp it did allow the government to regulate it. The taxes That were imposed were so complicated - and so high - that no one could pay them. And if you didn’t pay your marijuana tax you were a criminal.

The tricky thing in the cannabis space 817.882.9750 is keeping the products safe, there are no exact product definitions. The growth of the CBD market, the taste of money and a fast buck is dangerous in an industry without standards. Inferior quality extracts and illegal products are hurting the consumer and the industry. What we do know:

*Government’s definition of Hemp is that it contains less than 0.3% . As a result, there are no standards, no regulations except CBD products must have less than 0.3% THC. We are at a point where standards, requirements, and regulations are a must for quality control. Even ‘thirdparty testing labs’ need to be regulated. As these ‘controls’ are put into place, growth will slow down, either out of caution “wait and see” or by not being cautious enough.

How to manage a movement that is growing as fast as the cannabis space is a good question. It will be a humongous task. The answer may lie with the people that started it and had a vision that takes it back to where it was. Good for the farmers, good for the environment, and good for society. “For now know whom you are doing business with, do your due diligence, know what you are expecting, ask questions. If it sounds too good to be true, be careful, if the price is too good or if it is on the moon, and if it works for everything, walk away. Ask for test results.” Suggests Kimberly Pease, owner of Healthy Wellness. “We have had the same growers for years, the same blender and bottler for three years they have taught me a lot, and I appreciate their words of wisdom and caution.”

Hemp and marijuana have long been thought of as the same plant. They are not. Consumer education has not shed a good light on Hemp. However, it is one of the most versatile plants on the planet, and it has thousands of uses. Marijuana does not. Hemp is not called industrial Hemp for no reason. The hemp fiber is used for paper, textiles, carpeting, insulation, and construction materials.

*The Illegal status of Hemp has limited research.

Last week the Texas State Senate unanimously passed the House Bill 1325 making it legal to grow Industrial Hemp (less than 0.3% THC) and sell its by-products, including the extract with CBD. It still has to be passed by the house and then signed by Governor Abbott. And this is good for the farmers. In 2014, President Obama signed the farm bill which first defined hemp as not having more than 0.3% THC. It also made it legal to grow in industrial hemp under a pilot program for research purposes as long as it was in conjunction with the Institute of higher learning or the department of agriculture and as long as that particular state allowed it. Hemp and it’s cousin marijuana were still Controlled Substances or a Schedule 1 Narcotic just like heroin.

Don’t even start. Yes, it’s summer in Texas. No –– unless you’re a construction worker or some other kind of person who makes his or her living outdoors –– you don’t have the right to complain about the heat. As grueling as going from airconditioned home to air-conditioned car to air-conditioned work may be for some of us, summer in the Fort is a blissful time of year. As your spiritual cicerones, we proudly present our second annual Summer Guide. There’s lots to love. Looking for places to visit for a day or maybe long weekend? We’ve got you covered. How

about things to do for young adults on a budget? We have that, too. We also offer a rundown of all the great shows coming to Fort Worth museums, galleries, and stages, a list of all the noteworthy local music on tap, and which festivals and big concerts are worth your time, plus the skinny on the best underrated patios in town and cocktails for the teetotaler and imbiber alike. Roll up the issue, put it in your back pocket, and take it with you wherever you go. You never know when you’re going to need some summer guidance. –– Anthony Mariani

Day Trips and Weekend Getaways Pack up the fam and hit the road this summer. B Y

F O W L E R

The Old Farmer’s Almanac forecasts a wetter and slightly cooler (emphasis on “slightly”) summer in North Texas. If that’s true, the highways and byways leading out of the Fort look even more enticing for weekend getaways and daytrips: Less a.c. and open windows in the cruiser mean less gas used and fewer of those cartoon heat waves shimmering off the roads. So what restaurants, museums, parks, and sightsees within driving distance will we enjoy in the cooler climes?

The Billy the Kid Museum (114 N Pecan St, Hico, 254-796-2523), located about 90 miles southwest of downtown Fort Worth in Hico, features an exhibit of artifacts and a gift shop dedicated to one of the meanest Old West punks to ever shoot anyone in the back. (Hico claims to have the burial site for Billy the Kid, though there is some dispute.) Museum operators claim to receive visitors from

Australia, Japan, and Brazil. Hico also boasts antique shops, candy stores, and many historic sites. Fans of small-town Texas history should visit the Coleman Museum at Heritage Hall (400 W College Av, Coleman Ave, Coleman, 325-6252000) with early 20th-century cameras, medical and pharmaceutical equipment, a military collection, and more than 4,000 Native American arrowheads from the architecture-rich city of Coleman, located more than two hours southwest of the Fort. While you think you know Waco, you haven’t recently stopped by the kitschy, thirst-quenching Dr Pepper Museum (300 S 5th St, Waco, 254-7571025) or the Texas Rangers Hall of Fame and Museum (100 Texas Ranger Tr, Waco, 254-750-8631), the latter the official site dedicated to the legendary law enforcement agency, not the baseball team.

Lady Bird’s Picks Despite the propensity for wilting temps in Lone Star summertimes, there are still plenty of carefully cultivated floral vistas for folks who want to get back to nature. The East Texas Arboretum (1601 Patterson Rd, Athens, 903-675-5630) features over a hundred acres of native blossoms, trees, grasses, shade-protected hiking trails and spring-fed streams where the fauna — deer, frogs, and bugs galore — like to romp. The Tyler Rose Garden (420 Rose Park Dr, Tyler, 903-531-1212) is a public 14-acre park that has open trails, trees, fountains, and wildflowers even when it’s technically too hot for the world-famous 38,000 Tyler rose bushes to hit full bloom. (There is always some bloomage, even between the peak times of mid-April and mid-October). The Clark Gardens (567 Maddox Rd,

Wildflowers, native grasses, waterfalls, and ponds are home to swans, egrets, waterfowl, snakes, frogs, and exotic insects. (No open-toed shoes, please!) There are special events with model train exhibits and expert-guided garden tours.

Parks and Recreation If you haven’t gotten the message yet: Kids love dinosaurs. Take your little monsters to the perennially awesome Dinosaur Valley State Park (1629 Park Rd 59, Glen Rose, 254-897-4588). In addition to fishing, camping, and guided wagon tours, visitors can follow the 110 million-year-old foot paths of the bigass Acrocanthosaurus, the enormous “high-spined lizard” that used to eat other dinosaurs for breakfast. Literally. For a trip to the (grassy) beach that’s much closer to home, pack up the car and take the fam on a quick ride to Loyd Park (3401 Ragland Rd, Grand Prairie). Along with the lakeside beach areas, the website promises “more Texas tranquility than you can handle!” (sounds ominous) as you settle into its spacious camping grounds for tents, RVs, and cabins (with WiFi and satellite TV –– they’re not savages here). If mountain biking is more your jam, Cleburne State Park (5800 Park Rd 21, Cleburne) boasts six miles of bike trails over and around rocky hills with the 116-acre spring-fed Cedar Lake, which is suitable for fishing and swimming. Lake Mineral Wells State Park and Trailway (100 Park Rd 71, Mineral Wells, 940-328-1171): Hiking, hiking, hiking is the mantra here

— on the 12.8-mile park trails to the 20mile Trailway with flat grades and gentle curves — but there’s also swimming, rock climbing, camping, and horseback-riding, though the place is strictly BYOH (bring your own horse).

Sweet and Savory No matter the temps or the time of year, one daytrip activity is always in season — eating. Stop passing through the immigrant-founded town of West on your way to Austin and head directly there for some Euro-gnoshing at The Czech Stop (I-35 at Exit 353, West, 254-826-5316), the atmospheric “little Czech bakery” with more than 60 different menu items, including kolaches, pepperoni and ham ’n’ cheese puffs, “hot chubbies,” lemon bars, sand tarts, apple streusel, and hummingbird cakes. The Ennis Farmers Market (104 N McKinney St, Historic Downtown Ennis, 972-878-4748) is open 8am-noon every Saturday through October and features an open-air orgy of straight-from-the-truck blueberries, melons, peaches, eggplant, garlic, green beans, okra, and tomatoes as well as many pickled items, fresh eggs, baked goods, cooked meats, wine, and beer. Activities for children and families are also available. Take a long leisurely drive down Hwy 281 from the Fort through the scenic Hill Country to Fredericksburg and hit the trough. You can tour different wineries, have lunch at a variety of Eastern European or German restaurants, do some antique shopping, do some more wineries, and then enjoy another European meal or an old-fashioned U.S. of A. entrée at Sunset Grill, Vaudeville, or Alamo Springs General Store and Café.l

B R O W N

As North Texas thermometers creep toward the century mark, a time-honored summer tradition draws closer. Texans will soon be turning on water spigots, unraveling hoses, and dousing lawns in torrents of potable water. While other countries and many parts of the United States struggle to source and maintain clean water, Fort Worthians are literally making it rain with the Earth’s most important natural resource. When Margaret Allyson moved from New Mexico to Fort Worth in 1972, she was surprised to see how casually North Texans treated water usage. “I had lived in an adobe home,” she said. “I taught my children to not let their water run when they brushed their teeth. I would

see the sprinklers watering the street here. It’s hard to see water being wasted.” With the help of Michael Greathouse, owner of GreatWater Irrigation, Allyson had her sprinkler adjusted to use less water. Greathouse also built a corner rock garden and a stone walkway that were filled with native plants and flowers. “If I were younger, I would destroy all the St. Augustine grass in my yard and have wildflowers and native plants,” Allyson said. Steve Huddleston, senior horticulturist at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden, says a growing number of North Texans are beginning to really dig the idea of using drought-resistant plants. The movement is often referred to as xeriscaping, from the Greek word xeros for “dry.” Huddleston, author of Easy Gardens for North Central Texas, teaches landscape design courses through a continuing education program at TCU. Huddleston says that

Summer Romance?

environmentally friendly lawns don’t have to look like rock gardens. Native plants and grasses do well in North Texas’ sometimes arid climate, he said, but he often recommends plants, trees, and shrubs that come from all parts of the globe as long as they use minimal amounts of water. Crepe myrtles are one such example. The plant hails from China but thrives in Texas heat. Huddleston’s first piece of advice for gardeners who wish to cut down on water waste is to find ways to shrink the footprint of wasteful grasses like St. Augustine. “St. Augustine is the most water-guzzling grass we have,” he said. “I had it in my other house. I managed to water it once a week, maybe twice. Many people overwater it. There are other grasses that consume less water.” Two alternative types of grasses that use less water include Buffalo grass or Zoysia. Short of replacing St. Augustine, Huddleston recommends building gardens or rock walkways as two effective means to reduce a lawn’s footprint and thereby reduce water usage. For large shrubs and small trees, Huddleston recommends planting Texas mountain laurel, turk’s cap, and agave. Huddleston recommended several flowers that add beautiful aesthetics and thrive in Texas heat. “Autumn sage (Salvia greggii) is a wonderful plant that grows around twoand-a-half-feet tall,” he said. “Autumn sage

blooms March through November. There are several good varieties of red yucca. Zexmenia is a wonderful native plant that blooms with orange flowers all summer long.” Huddleston converted his front lawn using drought-resistant plants over the course of three days. After using herbicide to kill the St. Augustine, he tilled the dead grass into the soil and topped the lawn with expanded shale (light-colored clay aggregate) and aged compost, a soil rich in organic material that retains water well. He then placed garden beds, stepping stones, and multiple varieties of native and drought-resistant flowers and plants throughout his lawn. For sustainable gardening advice, Huddleston recommends contacting Weston Gardens (8101 Anglin Dr, 817-572-0549), Idlewild Botanical (5111 W Arkansas Ln, Arlington, 817-678-8448), and Stuart Nursery (2317 Fort Worth Hwy, Weatherford, 817-5960003), although any garden nursery should be equipped to recommend native or droughtresistant plants and trees. “I see interest growing” in sustainable gardening, he said. “Many people are aware of the need to conserve water. There are more people who are familiar with xeriscaping. Some still think it involves zero plant material. It’s a matter of picking plants that survive on less water. You can have a beautiful and very colorful landscape that survives on less water. You just have to choose the right plants.” l

Hello@CrudeCoffeeBar.com

If the Shoe Fits Stanley Eisenman previews summer-friendly footwear while Cartan’s Shoes reminds us that comfort is always in style. B R O W N

Possibly the earliest advice on footwear comes from the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu nearly two-and-a-half millennia ago. Lacking self-reflection is like trying to “cover the world with leather” to avoid foot pain, he said. “It is much easier to wear shoes.” We can’t always control where we tread, but we can pick the right shoes to do it in style, comfort, or both. As we enter sandal season, two local shoe stores offer advice on how to pick out the perfect footwear for the beach, outdoor festivals, formal events, and everyday use. Cartan’s Shoes has continuously been in business since 1932. The current location on West Magnolia Avenue opened in 1982. One recent afternoon, I met Cartan’s coowner Rick Baggett. Outside his office, the large sales floor was bustling. A dozen seated middle-aged women were being attended to by staffers, some of whom have been in the shoe business for decades. Baggett said customers are beginning to expect comfort from any shoes they buy. “When I first started selling shoes, women would pay $80 for a dress shoe, but they didn’t want to pay more than $40 for a shoe they would wear every day,” he said. “That made no sense to me. Today, it’s the opposite. They want to buy comfort, they want to be fitted properly, and they are willing to pay for it.”

Edward Brown

E D W A R D

Cartan’s Shoes salesperson Jenna Witchen will ensure that your shoes are as comfortable as they are stylish.

A poorly fitted shoe, he continued, can cause pain in the feet, knees, hips, and back. “They might not realize that it’s their shoe that is the problem,” he said. “A good pair of shoes will make a lot of difference — how you feel, your perceived weight, how tired you are.” Baggett reached for a nearby pair of sandals and handed them to me. “Feel how light these are,” he said. “After 12,000 steps, a heavy pair of shoes wears you down.” Baggett noted that we’re approaching “sandal season.” Sandals, wedges, and flats will see upticks in sales, he said. The vast majority of the brands Cartan’s sells (Aetrex, Clarks, New Balance, and VANELi, to name a few) use built-in orthotics (custom foot supports made from cushioning material). Another

trend in shoewear is the incorporation of microchips that monitor the number of steps the wearer takes during the day. That data can be tracked via a smartphone app. While big-box stores and online vendors have cut down on offering a wide range of sizes (like narrow or double wide), Cartan’s has invested in less common shoe sizes. Baggett offers this final tip for trying out sandals. “Make sure that the widest part of your foot comes to the widest part of the shoe,” he said. “That tells you that your arch is fitting correctly. That distributes your weight equally on your shoe so you don’t get extra pressure on your heel.” Follow Cartan’s Shoes on Instagram @cartansshoes. When it comes to trendy footwear, “boho chic” (which pulls from bohemian and hippie influences) is in. Lacy Cantrell,

salesperson at Stanley Eisenman Fine Shoes, gave me that tidbit as she brought me up to speed on which shoe brands and designs will be turning heads this summer. Of the five women’s shoes she highlighted, four had large, thick soles. “It’s a 1970s retro look that’s in right now,” she said. “Your mom may have photos of herself wearing something like these with bell bottoms.” One style that has sold well at the store is espadrille, a wedge shoe that is characterized by a jutt (woven rope) casing along the outer sole. Marc Fischer is a popular maker of this style, she said. The shoe we looked at appeared to have a tall wedge, but there wasn’t a lot of pitch, the term that defines the incline of the upper sole. “It’s an all-day shoe,” she said. “All the women who work here have at least one pair of these. It goes well with shorts and sundresses.” Another wedge shoe was up next, this time by shoemaker Pedro Garcia. The suede and leather bands that the sandal sports are designed for comfort. “This would be cute to wear after a pedicure,” she said, noting the large open-toe design. An elegant pair of high heels by Alexandre Birman offered a more formal option for summerwear. That was followed by a cork-draped wedge shoe from Italian shoemaker K. Jacques. The last shoe Cantrell brought out is a new style from See By Chloe called “flatform.” “This is somewhere between a platform and a wedge shoe,” she said. “This is a big trend right now. All the young girls are looking for this. It has a white-bottom sneaker [tread] and detailing to offset it.” As for color, yellow is always summer-friendly, she added. Wedges, flatforms, and espadrilles can be worn with dresses, rompers, or shorts. Follow Stanley Eisenman Fine Shoes @stanleyeisenmanshoes.

A friend’s 3-year-old boy is enthralled with toy dinosaurs and carries one with him wherever he goes. Imagine what the tyke would think if he could walk into his backyard in Fort Worth and find a real, live tiny Triceratops to play with. He never will, but his kids might. Or maybe his grandkids. Since 2005, the Fort Worth Zoo has been a leader among a group of organizations trying to re-populate Texas with horny toads. I was lucky enough to grow up in 1960s-era Fort Worth, when the critters were still easy to find. Technically, they were lizards, but everyone around here called them horny toads. Or if you attended TCU, you might have referred to them as horned frogs after the school mascot. The palm-sized reptile was covered in gnarly-looking spikes with two horns protruding from its head. The lizards looked incredibly fierce, but you could pick them up and play with them without being hurt. They puffed up their bodies to look bigger and meaner, which was fun to watch. You could lay them on their backs and stroke their bellies and lull them into a deep reptilian slumber. Supposedly, they could spit blood from their eyes when threatened, although I never saw one do it, and I handled quite a few. I’ve spoken with other locals, however, who insist they saw the blood spurts. In the fall, the lizards would burrow into the ground to hibernate and reappear in spring, hungry, roaming, and hunting their favorite treat –– red ants (another thing you don’t see anymore). The horny toad is our official state reptile, although it’s pretty much extinct in all but portions of far West Texas. Their fascinating appearance worked against them –– they looked so cool, they became harvested for the pet trade. Then nonnative fire ants gained footage and began feasting on horny toad eggs and babies, vastly reducing their numbers. Throw

Fort Worth Local

Fort Worth Zoo, TCU, and others try to save the state reptile from extinction.

Horned lizards, also known as horny toads, are struggling to return to the Texas landscape.

in the advent of modern insecticides, and horny toads dwindled in number by the 1970s. In 1977, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department added the horny toad to the threatened species list, but little had been done to save the lizards until 2005, when the Fort Worth Zoo initiated a program to breed them and release the babies onto private property in West Texas. Zoo officials work with TCU, Texas Parks and Wildlife, and other organizations and researchers to breed and reintroduce the horny toad. Someone trying to raise awareness in a more artistic way is local songwriter James Michael Taylor. In the 1950s, he grew up near the Mojave Desert in California where horny toads were abundant. “There is nothing cooler,” he said. “A baby horny toad is about a halfinch wide and comes out of its egg a fully developed creature. They were part of the fascination of my childhood. They are like little dinosaurs.” In the early 2000s, he wrote and recorded “Lament for Horny Toad, an environmentalthemed Americana song that describes how, as a child, he left lizards in a glass jar in the sun by mistake. “I went back and found them dead, which was a trauma from my childhood, like a warning of something to never, ever do again,” he said. Twenty years ago, he pulled into a truck stop in Amarillo and saw little horny toad hatpins for sale. He bought one for his hat and several others for friends. He would stop and buy more whenever he was passing through Amarillo until one day there were none left. An employee gave him the name of the company that sold the jewelry, and Taylor ordered a bulk amount. He’s continued to purchase

bulk orders for the past 15 years and hand out horny toad hatpins. “I started giving everybody those to raise awareness of the fate of horny toads,” he said. “They are being decimated. I’ve literally given hundreds of those things away.” He gave me a hatpin years ago, and it’s still displayed proudly on my felt cowboy hat. I’m a sucker for horny toads, too. If you played with them as a child, you probably feel the same. In the fall of 2018, the Fort Worth Zoo released 140 horny toad hatchlings into the wild at the Mason Mountain Wildlife Management Area near Llano. Most were hatched at Fort Worth Zoo, although the Dallas and San Antonio Zoos contributed as well. Researchers with Parks and Wildlife studied the lizards as they prepared for hibernation. The group has helped reintroduce more than 400 lizards into the wild at various ages, then tracked and studied them to determine best possible reintroduction methods. Civilians have also joined in the effort, many of them participating in the Parks and Wildlife’s Horned Lizard Watch program. Residents around the state adopt geographic sites compatible with horny toads and observe and report during their breeding periods between May and September. The information helps researchers understand the lizard population, where they live, and how they coexist with other wildlife, especially ants. The ultimate goal is to develop land management practices that benefit the horny toads. Or as Taylor sings on his song: “Maybe we could save the horny toad / But that would require we save the Earth.”l

Split Second takes the stage at Jubilee Theatre.

Hair Trigger

Back in 1981, the playwright Dennis McIntyre happened to stop at a donut shop in Chicago on his way home when he witnessed an angry, nonviolent confrontation between a black police officer and a white civilian. (A cop in a donut shop — some stereotypes are rooted in truth.) It inspired him to write Split Second, a play that was controversial enough to be banned in some venues around the country in the mid-1980s. Jubilee Theatre now brings it back so we can see how the show has held up. The premise flips a familiar story on its head: The opening scene features a black off-duty officer and a white car thief, with the criminal baiting the policeman into fatally shooting him. After that, the play mostly focuses on how the officer’s memory changes under the pressures of his conscience and the need to defend himself from criminal charges. Perhaps the whole “What if the shoe were on the other foot?” ploy came off better during the Reagan years, but police shootings just don’t stop being in the news these days, so it may be worth our while to see what a play from the past can tell us about them.

Split Second runs May 24-Jun 23 at Jubilee Theatre, 506 Main St, FW. Tickets are $24-34. Call 817-336-4411.

Walls and Boards Summer is full of delights on the stage or in the galleries and museums. A N D R E W

M A R T O N

From stand-up comedy to vintage Neil Simon, from revivals of classics to a bevy of world premieres, this summer’s theater stages will come to life with all manner of productions. As part of their Comedy Development Series, Amphibian Stage Productions kicks off June with yet another talented comedienne. From Jun 4 to 8, Phoebe Robinson –– who does a bit of everything, from stand-up comedy to best-selling writing –– will offer her take on gender, pop culture, and race. Amphibian’s summer slate also includes Gutenberg! The Musical! (Jul 12Aug 18), encompassing a story of dreams and some dodgy research techniques. Circle Theatre has big plans for the summer, starting with the always bloody fine entertainment, Sweeney Todd –– The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Jun 6-Jul 13). This thrilling creation is set in gritty 19th-century London and marches to the incomparable Tony Award-winning music and lyrics of Stephen Sondheim. Also, from Aug 15 to Sep 14, Circle presents A 3D Adventure, a world premiere comedic look at a small-town theater group’s best attempts to stage a production, which goes wildly awry.

Cour tesy the Sid Richardson Museum

ART

Hip Pocket Theater launches its 43rd performance season (from Jun 7 to Oct 27) with Seven Sinatra Veronicas (Jun 7-30), a world premiere of a partpantomime morality vehicle in which Sinatra croons “My Way” but soon discovers that it is more about “Her Way.” Arcadia Darling (Jul 12-Aug 4) –– another world premiere –– takes its cue from J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan. Love Letters to a Raven (Aug 9-11) is a workshop performance centering on such disparate features as hips, feet, hands, head, and breath. And the summer series concludes with Baby Snooks and Daddy (Aug 23-Sep 15), as Baby Snooks (she of the Ziegfeld Follies) performs an array of scripts culled from radio’s golden age. Jubilee Theatre’s Split Second (May 24Jun 23) is a tightly woven drama involving an African-American policeman who after arresting a white man on a car theft charge eventually guns down his violently resistant suspect. A slew of ethics and moralschallenging quandaries ensue. And in Sistas, the Musical (Jul 26-Aug 25), the death of a family’s grand matriarch sets in motion a voyage of nostalgic discovery for one family –– all to the music charting black women’s history –– from the turbulent ’30s through the ’60s girl groups. Stage West Theatre delves into a reliably involving tale with Holmes and Watson (May 30-Jun 30). This play begins three years following the confounding death of Sherlock Holmes, which compels Dr. John H. Watson to visit a faraway island-based asylum where three inmates believe they are the late detective. As for Lungs (Jul 25-Aug 18), patrons will be thrust into a world getting hotter, with roiling seas and political unrest all around. And amid it all, we descend on a generic IKEA where a man proposes to his partner that they have child. Stolen Shakespeare Guild presents Northanger Abbey (Jul 12-28 at the Fort Worth Community Arts Center). Inspired by Jane Austen’s first novel, which many have labeled a satirical Gothic romance, it’s the story of Catherine Morland, who travels

Remington’s travels back east will be the focus of an exhibit at the Sid Richardson Museum. Courtesy the Sid Richardson Museum

to Bath with her aunt only to be ensnared in that town’s inbred social set. Theatre Arlington’s They’re Playing Our Song (thru May 26) faithfully captures the magic of vintage Neil Simon’s book and Marvin Hamlisch’s fun score. This wellknown rom-com centers on a composer and his relationship with a lyricist. As for Brighton Beach Memoirs (Aug 9-31), baseball and girls unite in Eugene’s Brooklyn-based life overseen by a domineering mother, an overworked father, and a know-it-all brother, Stanley, a mere few of Eugene’s indelible family members. Local museums and galleries aren’t taking any downtime this summer, either, starting with the Kimbell Art Museum. When in doubt, satisfy the public with the ever-pleasing aesthetic reliability of the Impressionists. And can there be a more visually seductive Impressionist than Monet? Consider Monet, the Late Years (Jun 16-Sep 15), the Kimbell’s first show in more than two decades devoted to the great French artist’s final oeuvre. On 52 works, this summer blockbuster exhibition will trace the origins of the great master’s singular painting style. The Amon Carter Museum of American Art envisages an abbreviated summer season (lasting ’til Jun 2), as it will be closed to the public for major renovations from Jun 3 ’til reopening on Sep 14 –– marked by a free 12hour Party on the Porch blowout. But until then, Amon Carter fans can avail themselves to

From Remington to O’Keeffe: The Carter’s Greatest Hits (thru Jun 2). Simultaneously running with the exhibition is With the Help of Friends (thru Jun 2), highlighting 15 striking photographs. Dating from the 1930s through today, each one was chosen and bought thanks to several loyal Carter photo collection supporters, the “friends” in the title. Completing the Carter’s triptych of shows is Gabriel Dawe: Plexus No. 34, a special commission of a sitespecific work involving 80 miles of thread in a rainbow of hues, all assembled by the Mexican-born Dawe. The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth has an ambitious slate of summer shows lined up. Disappearing California, c. 1970 (thru Aug 11) treats the act of “disappearance” through the lens of works by Chris Burden and fellow Southern Californians Jack Goldstein and Bas Jan Ader. From Jun 2 to Sep 22 is David Park: A Retrospective, which represents the first important museum-quality show in more than three decades celebrating the work of this 1930s-era melder of avant-garde and Cubist-influenced abstract expressionism. The Sid Richardson Museum’s latest granular examination of the work of Frederic Remington focuses on his travels back East (where he grew up) and how he immortalized what he saw on canvas. Another Frontier: Frederic Remington’s East (thru Sep 8) jolts the viewer away from Remington’s familiar Western subject matter to his less-known Eastern U.S. subjects.l

As far as movies are concerned, summer started last month with Avengers: Endgame, which is probably going to be the biggest box-office hit of the year, never mind the season. I’m still bummed that Julia Hart’s Fast Color and Claire Denis’ High Life, two excellent spring films that would have slotted in excellently in our multiplexes this summer, look like they’ll never reach our theaters. Even so, there will be plenty of fare for you to chew over when the days turn as hot and sticky as a freshly baked cinnamon bun. Let’s start with the least interesting part: the remakes and sequels. Disney continues to raid its back catalog with live-action versions of Aladdin (out this week) and The Lion King, the former sporting actors of Middle Eastern descent (with the notable exception of Will Smith as the genie) and both of them boasting newly composed songs. Michael Dougherty, the director behind the cult Halloween film Trick ‘r Treat, takes over Godzilla: King of the Monsters, in which the Japanese behemoth battles other legendary creatures from the series: Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah. Dark Phoenix is slated to be the last of Fox’s X-Men films before Disney integrates the characters into the Marvel movies. Speaking of which, SpiderMan: Far From Home has Tom Holland’s Peter Parker and his school friends on a trip to Europe, though the fallout from the events of Avengers: Endgame promises to have repercussions here. Also, Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson collaborated so well in Thor: Ragnarok and Avengers: Endgame that they’ll do it again in Men in Black: International, a new adventure tangentially related to the old series. Another “sidequel” is Hobbs

& Shaw, in which Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham’s unfriendly characters from the Fast & the Furious series team up for their own adventure. We’re also getting 47 Meters Down: Uncaged, because, uh, I’m not sure. The kids won’t be spared the sequels, either. The Secret Life of Pets 2 lands in theaters, minus the voice of Louis C.K., for obvious reasons. There’ll be higher hopes for Toy Story 4, in which the toys adjust to their new home and a new child. The Angry Birds Movie 2 has the birds joining up with their enemies the pigs to combat a new threat, so perhaps the antiimmigrant sentiment of the original film will be softened. The remakes and sequels seep into the horror films, too, as Child’s Play undergoes a series reboot and the painfully uninteresting Conjuring universe has a new installment in Annabelle Comes Home. Thankfully, there will also be original stories, such as Jim Jarmusch’s typically deadpan zombie comedy The Dead Don’t Die and André Øvredal’s anthology film Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, based on Alvin Schwartz’ children’s book series. Octavia Spencer and her The Help director Tate Taylor collaborate for Ma, a horror flick that casts her radically against type. Ari Aster’s follow-up to last year’s Hereditary is Midsommar, with a group of tourists finding terror amid the daylightsoaked festivities of the Swedish holiday. For whatever reason, this seems to be a big summer for movies that have to do with music. Before his retirement, Elton John is working on not only the Lion King remake but also on Rocketman, a film based on his life that promises to be more fanciful than the average biopic. Meanwhile, Danny Boyle’s Yesterday imagines a world where all trace of the Beatles has been wiped from history, except for the memory of one man, who promptly passes the Fab Four’s work off as his own. Gurinder Chadha (who directed Bend It Like Beckham) takes on Blinded by the Light, about a Pakistani teenager living in England in the 1980s whose life is transformed when he hears the music of Bruce Springsteen. If your taste is more country, Wild Rose stars Irish newcomer Jessie Buckley as a Glasgow single mother who dreams of moving to Nashville and becoming a country music star. If you’d rather take your music in documentary form, Ron Howard’s Pavarotti profiles the legendary Italian tenor whose stardom became bigger than opera. David Crosby: Remember My Name is the rock musician’s cold-eyed look at his history of drug use and burned bridges. On non-musical subjects, John Chester’s The Biggest Little Farm (which is currently

Beanie Feldstein and Kaitlyn Dever star in Booksmart, a summer comedy highlight.

out in Dallas) chronicles his and his wife’s attempt to establish a farm outside of Los Angeles without any experience in farming. Fashion specialist Frédéric Tcheng comes out with Halston, following up his previous documentaries about Christian Dior and Diana Vreeland. Maiden documents the attempt by an all-female crew to run the Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race in 1989. Speaking of women, This One’s for the Ladies interviews African-American male strippers and their customers. If you like comedies, fear not, because Booksmart is out this week, and it is powerfully funny stuff. (See my review online for additional details.) Late Night is a scattered but occasionally potent look at a late-night TV host whose fading talk show receives a jolt when she hires a writer who is not an Ivy League-educated white guy. Dave Bautista could loom large in more ways than one: In Stuber, he’s a cop trying to bust terrorists opposite Kumail Nanjiani as a terrified Uber driver, while in My Spy, he’s a CIA agent whose cover is blown by a little girl who wants to learn his trade. For the kids, the live-action version of Dora and the Lost City of Gold offers up a panoply of Latin actors, while The Wish Dragon (Amy Heckerling’s foray into animation) is set in modern-day China and contains an equally imposing set of Asian actors.

There’s even some prestige fare braving the storms of summer, starting with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino’s romp through Tinseltown in the late 1960s. Richard Linklater adapts Maria Semple’s novel Where’d You Go, Bernadette, starring Cate Blanchett as a faded starchitect who vanishes one day from her life as a contented housewife. A heavyweight cast (including Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish, and Elisabeth Moss) stars in The Kitchen, about a group of mob wives who become mob bosses in the 1970s after their husbands’ arrests. Tilda Swinton’s real-life daughter Honor Swinton Byrne has already picked up accolades for her lead performance in The Souvenir, Joanna Hogg’s autobiographical drama about an artist coming of age. John Lithgow and Blythe Danner star in The Tomorrow Man, a romance in which the man is a survivalist building a bunker. Awkwafina does a rare dramatic turn as a Chinese-American woman who returns to her parents’ homeland for her mother’s impending death in The Farewell, and Claire McCarthy does a revisionist take on Hamlet with Ophelia, starring Daisy Ridley and Naomi Watts. Amid all the blockbusters, counterprogramming might be worth taking a flier on.l

also playing in the doubles’ championship along with Kruger and Stadler. Rybakov has been masterful during his All-American season and already dispatched his firstround opponent from the University of Michigan. The star Frog should have no trouble reaching the semifinals, where he will likely meet top-seeded Nuno Borges from Mississippi State for their third match of the season. Borges and Rybakov will have clashed in the opening doubles’ round when we go to press. Borges and teammate Strahinja Rakic bested Rybakov and Gray in a tiebreaker to start the season but fell to the Froggy friends two weeks ago during their Starkville super-regional. Stadler and Kruger face an Auburn squad they should beat, but the first-seeded Baylor pair will be waiting to send them packing in the second round. Expect tournament recaps in next week’s edition after champions are crowned on Saturday.

Mixed Feelings How do you feel about Frog baseball this year? I’m not sure either. Flashes of brilliance overshadowed by mucho moments of mediocrity yield mounds of meh. Coach Jim Schlossnagle’s sluggers visited Lubbock without an agenda, sitting smack in the middle of the conference standings. No. 8-ranked Tech was fighting for the conference championship and riding an impressive winning streak until Thursday. Ace Frog hurler Nick Lodolo saved his best pitching performance for the Raiders, striking out 13 batters while allowing only five hits and no runs through eight innings, good enough to be named Big 12 pitcher of the week. His efforts weren’t in vain, and his purple pals finally notched the first score of the game in the 11th inning. Tech matched in the bottom of the inning, and this extra-long pitcher’s

duel dragged all the way through the 14th round. The Frogs cobbled together three base hits to end the madness with a 3-1 victory. This game was a showcase of how good the TCU defense can be. The Raiders accumulated 14 hits but only one run on the scoreboard. Friday didn’t go as well. Tech’s leadoff batter blasted the second pitch thrown past the left field wall and thus began a barrage of offense that TCU couldn’t match. The Horned Frogs went error-free on Friday, but otherwise there’s not a lot to love. Raiders punched back and won easily 7-2. The Red Raiders had more to play for on Saturday than our Frogs, and it showed. Walks and throwing errors plagued TCU and landed them in a three-run hole in the fourth inning. Schlossnagle and company were efficient with base runners, scoring four on seven hits, but the Raiders punished purple pitching with eight runs from 11 hits. TTU collected the Big 12 championship thanks to their series win over the Frogs and will likely retain their Top 10 national ranking as regional matchups and locations start taking shape. Oklahoma City hosts the Big 12 tournament this week. TCU is the sixthseed and battle third-seed Oklahoma State on Wednesday evening. The tournament is a double-elimination affair with a winners and losers track on a two-sided bracket. Any one-loss team reaching the semifinal will need to win consecutive games against their unbeaten opponent to earn an appearance in the championship series. The Frogs are 1-2 against OSU this year and fell short by one run in both losses. The winner of OSU-TCU will presumably face second-seed Baylor, a team reeling after surrendering their top spot and limping to the finish line with three consecutive conference losses.l

Purple tennis didn’t dominate the conference this year the way they’ve become accustomed. The resurgence of Baylor and UT delivered the Big 12 into privileged tennis status with three teams still alive in the Elite 8. Coach David Roditi’s squad flew to the land of Disney last week to clash with their Austin antagonists in the NCAA quarterfinals and promptly crash landed. TCU captured the doubles point when the in-state rivals met during the season. No luck for the Frogs this time. Lines one and two pairs fell easily. Luc Fomba and Sander Jong were comfortably beating their third-line burnt orange opponents when the match was abandoned after their teammates tumbled.

Frog phenom Alex Rybakov carried the torch during an otherwise dreary match for Frog faithful as he avenged his in-season loss by beating No. 7-ranked Christian Sigsgaard in straight sets. Good news ended with Rybakov’s dominance. At first glance, a 4-1 loss to Texas seems like a rollover, but purple and white always fight. Reese Stadler and Bertus Kruger both battled but lost tiebreakers that decided their first sets, and Alastair Gray’s opponent needed a seventh game during the first set to secure the lead. Five Frogs lost their first singles’ sets, which became an insurmountable deficit against the eventual national champions. Fort Worth fanatics can take pride that their dispatchers moved on to beat thirdseed Florida –– who blanked Baylor in the quarters 4-0 –– before winning against defending champion Wake Forest to claim the national title. There are no official reports if fired Longhorn tennis coach Michael Center attended the match. Center, who initially pled not guilty to mail fraud charges, flipped his plea last month and is implicated amid a far-reaching college admissions scandal. Unreliable sources suggested Center wouldn’t bother to show up because he was binge-watching Full House reruns. In non-sleazy coaching news, TCU assistant tennis coach Devin Bowen was named the Intercollegiate Tennis Association assistant coach of the year. Bowen’s arrival to the program coincides with an imposing streak of five consecutive Top 10 finishes and reaching the Elite 8 three times in the last five years. Team tennis is over, but volleys and serves continue for the Froggers. Rybakov and Gray were both invited to compete in the NCAA singles’ championship, with Rybakov receiving the third seed among the 64-competitor field. The purple pair is

EATS P H I L P O T

Chances are, you know about Fort Worth’s most famous restaurant patios: Flying Saucer Draught Emporium, Joe T. Garcia’s, Woodshed Smokehouse, and so on. You may have even familiarized yourself with all the patios at Shops of Clearfork, where restaurants are practically required to have outdoor seating, or on West Magnolia Avenue, where almost every restaurant at least offers a few sidewalk tables. But there are some worthy-yet-unheralded patios in and around Fort Worth that belong in any patio hall of fame. And some of them have been around for years. Here are a few we hunted down (in some cases, they hunted us down), as well as some new ones to check out.

Bedford Ice House, 2250 Airport Fwy, Ste 300, Bedford, 817-8649898

Ideally, a restaurant patio should shield you from the parking lot and traffic noise. Bedford Ice House’s substantial patio can’t shut off the nearby Airport Freeway cacophony (at lunch, anyway –– the live music at night can drown it out), and the best way to avoid the parking lot is to take a seat facing away from it. But this is still a pretty cool space, with a fire pit, couches, trees coming up from the deck, and a friendly staff serving burgers, sandwiches, “smoked & fried” items, as well as plenty of beers and Mason-jar cocktails.

Houston Street Bar & Patio, 902 Houston St, 817-877-4727

In downtown Fort Worth, Reata’s rooftop bar gets the glory, while the 12th-floor balcony patio at Branch & Bird (formerly Perch) is the popular upstart. Then there’s Houston Street Bar & Patio, an unpretentious south-of-7th hangout that you can walk by without even thinking of the patio –– it happens to be on the roof –– even though “patio” is right there in the name of the bar. There’s also a modest food menu of burgers, dogs, pizzas, and more. The majority of the downtown action takes place north of 7th, but hanging out on this block can change your perspective –– especially if you’re gazing northward (or staring downward) from the roof.

The Camp Bowie Boulevard institution boasts that it’s the oldest still-running restaurant in Fort Worth, and yet somehow its patio never seems to come up in outdoor round-ups. It’s in the back of the restaurant and feels like someone’s backyard, with stone walls obscuring the parking area and nearby houses. Festooned by strings of lights and decorated by wrought-iron tables, an attractive fountain, and patio-friendly plants everywhere, the space feels like a miniature version of that other Fort Worth Mexican-restaurant institution’s patios. And the menu is appropriately old-school, with one combo plate named for President Roosevelt (the second one –– the restaurant’s not that old), who occasionally dined there when visiting a son who lived in the Fort Worth area.

Steven’s Garden & Grill, 223 Depot St., Mansfield, 817-473-8733

This downtown Mansfield spot has been around for nearly 20 years, yet it’s often overlooked in these kinds of surveys, despite being set in an old barn with a front porch and a garden that emphasizes its rural feel, even though it’s in downtown Mansfield. According to its Facebook page, Steven’s is about to finish a side-yard, and it’s asking followers for suggestions about what to do with it. So far, patio games such as cornhole are winning out over barbecue-sauce wrestling. The place is currently open ThuSat only.

Tres Casas Mexican Grill, 208 N Main St, Keller, 817-753-7003

Old Town Keller, a stretch of U.S. 377 mostly south of where Golden Triangle Boulevard turns into Keller Parkway, offers several restaurants with good (and sometimes even adjoining) patios, including a fairly new one –– The Station Patio Icehouse –– that puts “Patio” in its name. But north of Keller Parkway lies this hole in the wall, a tiny Mexican restaurant that you might not even notice as you drive by it on Main Street. And it supplies one of Keller’s nicest outdoor seating areas, a cozy, covered spot with plentiful plants emitting floral aromas. (Note: It’s also worth hunting down the patio at Café Medi, on a side street on the less-crowded east side of Main Street in Old Town.)

Heim Barbecue River District, 5333 White Settlement Rd, 682-707-5772 At Heim’s original brick-and-mortar on West Magnolia Avenue, the patio took some time to evolve, but at the recently opened and larger River District location, the patio’s already up and running. Yes, it’s off the parking lot, although it is set back at little. The space also faces west, which is good for sunset views if you’re there at the end (or bacon-burnt end) of an afternoon.

Herencia Texican Cuisine, 1431 E Southlake Blvd, Ste 551, Southlake, 817-873-8800

This new Southlake restaurant takes its name from its philosophy of using cooking techniques from Texas and Latin America, and the patio is part of that: It’s a fairly intimate space, landscaped with desert plants and worlds away from the crowded Central Market parking lot that’s mere steps outside the gate. The patio at the longer-running Howard Wang’s China Grill next door is pretty good, too.

Rogers Roundhouse, 1616 Rogers Rd, 817-367-9348

Behind University Plaza is this new restaurant/bar named in part for the street it’s on and in part for the building’s former life as an engine-repair facility for Union Pacific Railroad. The patio scene is familiar –– picnic tables (with some blessed shade), strung lights, and plants. The unusual location separates you from the city, although you might hear a train or two rumble by.

The Tipsy Oak, 301 E Front St, Arlington, 817-962-0304

Downtown Arlington’s restaurant/bar/brewery renaissance has brought with it some new patios, and one of the best is at this nearly year-old gastropub with its rustic, wraparound space near the end of a relatively quiet but increasingly busy street.

You might hear the rumble of a train at Rogers Roundhouse.

The first Fort Worth location of College Station-based Grub opened this year in Parkside at Alliance, a small center in far north Fort Worth that’s also home to a new Shell Shack location. A new location of First Watch is due to open in June, with a Mod Pizza not far behind. All include patios looking out on Bluestem Park –– if you step off the patios, you’re in the park –– but Grub may have the best one, with more space, seating, and TVs. All of them are examples of how patios in busy areas should be done: Although I-35W is less than a mile away, you barely notice the noise, and because the patios are on the other side of the building from Heritage Trace Parkway, you don’t notice that traffic-choked stretch at all.

‘It’s almost summer, which means it’s time to collectively unsheathe our arms and legs and trade in hoodies for T-shirts and shorts. Whether you’re worried about shedding pounds or simply want to make more room for those high-calorie burgers and hot dogs, there’s one manner in which you don’t have to trade calories for fun: cocktails. Alcohol, as it turns out, isn’t the big bad calorie culprit it’s often portrayed to be. A standard drink, as defined by the National Institutes of Health, is 1.5 ounces of liquor (80 proof), 5 ounces of

wine (12 percent alcohol), and 12 ounces of beer (5 percent alcohol). Those drinks respectively have 98, 125, and 155 calories per serving (on average). Mixed drinks have the potential for the lowest calorie count of any style of hooch but only when sodas, syrups, and other forms of sugar are cut out. As these crafty bartenders and local distilleries have found, a well-crafted skinny cocktail can be flavorful without tasting watered down. Below are some ideas you can try at home.

Remove from heat and cool. Special thanks

Even though we’re not yet in the full throes of inevitable Heat Death 2019, local artists are still raining fire in the form of new tunes like Drogon over King’s Landing. The sheer volume of work getting tossed around the Fort right now is enough to make heads spin, so let’s get caught up with what we’ve missed and see what else is coming. Still likely riding high from their Warped Tour appearance last year, third wave ska/punkers Madaline managed to slip a new album past our attention last month. Think: Reel Big Fish/early No Doubt. A bit more recently, quirky indie songsmith Steve Gnash dropped

HearSay Summer Concert Preview I’d argue that there are few experiences as central to being a young person in America as going to an overpriced, overcrowded outdoor concert and loving every minute of it –– unless you suffer a heatstroke and make your friends miss whatever late-afternoon act they were most stoked to see because you had to go to the EMT tent. But even that’s still kind of a fun memory, assuming you don’t die. Below are my picks for summer 2019. Austin Terror Fest 2019 at Empire Control Room (606 E 7th St, Austin) and Barracuda (611 E 7th St, Austin) from Fri to Sun, Jun 7-9. This three-day fest is a veneration of everything heavy, bringing a pantheon of the metal underground’s most fearsome beings, including a couple local bands (Empire Control Room hosts Denton’s Terminator 2 –– one of my favorite

Pinkish Black is set to release Concept Unification next month.

Los Colinas. The Jordan Richardsonproduced EP (Duell, Oil Boom) features six songs of Gnash’s Kinks-ian rock reverie in top form. Just last week, to celebrate his birthday, Cloudland Recording Studios’ engineer extraordinaire Britt Robisheaux was the one giving the presents. To fans of the Fort Worth underground, he bestowed a new EP of eccentric noise rock under the banner Most Efficient Women. Several years in the making, the six songs feature contributions from upwards of 20 local players, including Daron Beck of Pinkish Black, Jeff Helland (White Drugs), late Denton artist Nevada Hill, and drummer Ricky Del Toro (Bulls). Speaking of Pinkish Black, next month, the phantomic dirge-psych duo will release Concept Unification, their fourth full-length. A single from the upcoming release, “Dial Tone,” debuted earlier this month. Produced by Cloudland’s Robisheaux, the album promises to be the band’s most adventurous to date. Another moody Fort Worth duo, Signals & Alibis, also have new music on the horizon. Keyboardist/vocalist Rebecca Jozwiak and guitarist Brian Carter promise a new single wrought by their signature dark and sensual song textures soon, with an album to follow local bands ever –– at 7:30pm on Jun 7 and Mountain of Smoke at 7:30pm on Jun 10), to the Live Music Capital of the World©. Friday’s highlights: Terminator 2, Japanese doom lords Church of Misery, and Maryland’s Full of Hell. My picks for the fest’s Saturday shows include Daikaiju and Lightning Bolt (both at Empire Control Room), and its Sunday lineup is buoyed by Bongzilla, Black Cobra, and Dark Castle. Tickets, available on Eventbrite, range from $25 to $100. Sorry-not-sorry for listing this one: Jimmy Buffett is at Dos Equis Pavilion (3839 S Fitzhugh Av, Dallas) on Sat, Jun 8. I can’t really think of a more perfect way to spend a Saturday in June than sweating out $14 beers on the parched, pokey lawn at Dos Equis Pavilion (or, in the memory-based parlance specific to the age of the average Parrothead, the Starplex) while watching Jimmy and the Coral Reefers amble their way through nearly 50 years of laid-back, Gulfbreezy, countrified, Caribbean-fantasizing jams. It’s no secret that Jimmy Buffett is

later this summer. The aforementioned Del Toro is another musician who will have his name associated with a number of releases this summer. The drummer/vocalist will follow up debut EPs from Most Efficient Women and his artrock side project, O. Deletron (of which I am a member), with new music from his main gig as drummer-frontman of postrock practitioners Bulls. Tracked at Dallas’ Elmwood Studios, the new album will be the trio’s second full-length. Self-described “blue collar band making blue collar music for a blue collar world,” Grady Spencer & The Work add to their discog of calloused-handed roots-rock their third LP. A release show at Shipping & Receiving Bar with Frankie Leonie and Colby Culberson will be on June 17. You can get a taste via the new single “Celebrate,” which is out now. For fans of tunes best enjoyed through, say, the door-mounted speakers of a peace sign-emblazoned Volkswagen bus, we have new music from Lion Eye and Katsük. Cofronted by local hip-hop icon Dru B Shinin’, new rootsy reggae vibes from Lion Eye will help soothe some of the summer burn, while acoustic-slinging yogi Daniel Katsük’s upcoming Commissions & Recommisions VI one of my all-time biggest heroes, but even the dopiest Buffett single will remind you how the Baby Boomer generation were once young, dumb, and arguably fun. Lawn seats are only $25 plus whatever surcharge Live Nation tacks onto tickets. I included Float Fest in Gonzales last year because I’d gone to the one in 2015 and had a blast. Basically, this is an outdoor concert with the option of floating the Guadalupe. If you plan on doing the latter Sat-Sun, Jul 20-21, why not pair that trip with performances by Major Lazer, Portugal. The Man, Gucci Mane, Ice Cube, the Flaming Lips, and 15 other artists/ bands who are kind of big deals? Besides Ice Cube, the names in the lineup I was most enthused about were Jungle, Big Boi, and Rainbow Kitten Surprise. You can buy tickets and find all the pertinent info (and there’s actually a lot you need to know because there’s optional camping involved and there are rules about bringing beer and whatnot) at Floatfest.net.

MUSIC Summer

gets you centered. Look for both next month. Coffee Pot Productions cofounder Ian McKenyon found time between shooting new videos for the likes of Mean Motor Scooter and Phantomelo to shoot one for his own silly-on-a-serious-level “some kind of rock” band Garage Barrage. “Tippin’ on Meatballs” is the first single off an upcoming debut fulllength, Enter the Negaverse. Lo-fi electro-rocker Christian Mauch, under his pseudonym the Spiral Sound, has a new single in the can that should find its way to listeners shortly. Called “So, Julian,” the bouncy and danceable track features a glossier sheen production-wise than the material Mauch has released in recent years, but the tune still retains the nails-dug-in emotive grip his music is known for. The hermit-like Mauch has been busy as of late and not just with the Spiral Sound. His former band, the once-were-kind-of-maybe-a-biggish-deal ’90s synth-pop outfit Channel 69, have reformed are playing shows again –– and are about to release their first new music in a quarter century. A single, “Another Gotcha,” is coming soon. July will see the release of soulful roots singer Josh Weathers’ next album. A new single called “Wild Ones” will tease the record before the release show at legendary Billy Bob’s Texas in the heart of the Stockyards on July 20. When you consider we’re also waiting with the patience of a dog with a Milkbone balanced on his nose for a new Henry the Archer single, an EP from Americana fourpiece Hightower, as-of-yet-released material from Mountain of Smoke, melodic metal dudes Mountain Kid, and the Clint Niosifronted Boozy Moods, there’s plenty to enjoy to help get us over the hump into fall’s welcome cool. The brainchild of Scott Beggs, the impresario behind Three Links (2704 Elm St, Dallas), WoodScott celebrates the 50th anniversary of Woodstock with local bands performing as tributes to the beyond-iconic music festival’s various lineups, which means that, yes, there will be a local band pretending to be Limp Bizkit. In fact, most of the lineup comes from the Woodstock anniversary concerts in ’94 and ’99, and, frankly, I think seeing a local band pay tribute to Woodstock with a set of Everclear songs is way more interesting than seeing one recreate The goddamned Band. Each night (Fri-Sat, Jul 26-27) is $10. Contrary to popular beer and soda ad campaign bromides, you can’t actually beat the heat this or any summer, but maybe you’ll collect a few interesting festival stories –– assuming heat stroke doesn’t rob your memory of them. –– Steve Steward
