August Odds and Ends


Editors get a lot of e-mail. If it were paper, it wouldn’t be that much of a stretch to say we’d probably be buried in it, and you probably wouldn’t see a magazine every month. Some of it helps us communicate with each other and our sources, and some of it comes from outsiders wanting to bring to our collective attentions the latest products or events, ranging from the irrelevant (stock tips!) to the bizarre (Chia pets!).

I read (scan) it all, and I am realizing that my city is more dynamic than I often give it credit for. Here’s a bit of what missed the deadline, or didn’t make the cut for our August issue:

FLINCH Productions is a new theater company that debuts this month at the Stone Street Theatre in downtown Dallas. Although their schedule hasn’t been confirmed with any family-friendly shows, it might be just the thing for mom and dad’s next date night. FLINCH’s first play “COZY” opens August 17.

A Pea in the Pod maternity in north Dallas has a full schedule of pre- and postnatal yoga, fitness classes, and other events during the month of August. And, they’re conveniently scheduled for mornings and evenings, Mondays through Thursdays. Might be a cleansing breath of fresh air once school is back in session…

Oh, and Pat and Vanna will be here August 25-27. Good luck getting tickets (I can’t help you there), but Wheel of Fortune fans will be pleased to know that the north Texas taping is predicted to pump $2 million into local economies. Most of that will probably come from Vanna’s wardrobe. --Liz
