like the real thing except better. However, if you want something fruity choose snoz berry because it will create an explosion of fruity berry goodness in your mouth. The kids scoop starts at about 2.50 for a kids cup but you won’t regret the splurge. It’s probably safe to say that the kids scoop will end up being enough because i don’t think i would have finished it if I had bought a larger size. The interior of Piccomolo is filled with neon “try it” spoons and neon orange chairs. But eating something cold can always give you chills so if you feel to cold inside try sitting in the available seating outside. Located right in front of the shop are tables with chairs and lets not forget the benches that are found around the fountain in the middle of all the chaos. It creates a great view as you enjoy the lightness of the ice cream.So if you ever find yourself walking around Southlake drop by.

Film: From Dusk Till Dawn Quentin Tarantino’s criminal-getaway-turnedvampire-fighting script, dutifully made largerthan-life by director Robert Rodriguez (the Mariachi trilogy, Sin City) puts George Clooney in his most B.A. leading role. This Tex-Mex action flick is better than Twilight and True Blood combined-mostly because it doesn’t take itself so seriously. Music: Humbug, Arctic Monkeys On their third full-length disc, the Arctics get knee deep in fuzz thanks to producer Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age fame. This album is darker and less accessible than their last two, but with a few listens, it becomes clear that this is one of the high points for smart alt-rock this year. Literature: Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut Vonnegut’s darkly funny tale of time travel and war is as psychedelic an experience as a book can deliver. This book takes you through the protagonist, Billy Pilgrim’s life in no particular order, giving off all of the mind-bending fun of LSD without the pesky after-effects that come with it.
The band’s pure rock theme will surely follow through on this new album. - Mariah Carey is doing some wondering with her new album, “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel” featuring the song “I Want to Know What Love Is.” Although she’s married now, her voice can still break hearts. - The hit band Paramore also released a new album “Brand New Eyes” which will surely sell very well on the markets, considering the band’s infamy. If you liked the former rock themed music, you’ll love this new CD. - Lynard Skynard fans have something new to look forward to with the band’s issue of “God & Guns” on Sept. 29. The band hopes to attract new fans as well as pleasing the former ones. - Do you remember the boy bands we used to secretly dance and karaoke to? Well, one band in particular is getting ready to gear back up with “This is Us.” Yup, the Backstreet Boys, one of the infamous 90’s pop bands returned on Oct. 6 with their album, including songs like “Straight Through My Heart”, and featuring artists such as Lady Gaga, T-Pain, Ne-Yo, Akon, and OneRepublic. Why keep it a guilty secret any longer, check it out. Those are just a few of the many albums being released at the moment, so be sure to check out the nearest CD store for your favorite. Also, in the next few weeks, more of your favorite music stars are belting out a few new albums. Say Anything, Train, Weezer, Sting, John Mayer, and Switchfoot, are all going to be featuring new albums within this year, and fans are anxiously waiting.
