THE SHOP ON THE CORNER: THE FLOWER GARDEN

Alyssa Stevenson February 11, 2016

Down the street and around the corner is our favorite local flower shop, Flowergarden. Over the years we've spent many a Saturday morning sipping on coffee and strolling down the street for a bunch of fresh cut flowers to spruce up our space. Over the last couple of years Flowergarden owner Cindy Simmons has started carrying not only our favorite arrangements, but also the kinds of coveted gifts and stationary we previously could only find outside of city limits. Read on to find out what lies in store for them as we approach the most floral holiday of all, Valentines Day.

THE DEN10: FEBRUARY 10TH 2016

Alyssa Stevenson February 10, 2016

As you find your self staring down the barrel of another Valentines Day, consider these events for your weekend plans. All of them have been painstakingly hand-picked for quality and diversity. The most important event this coming week is the 64th House District Republican Primary Debate we’re hosting at Dan’s Silverleaf on Monday at 7PM. City councilman Kevin Roden will moderate and Glen Farris will keep time. This is a pretty unique event as it is possibly the only debate for the state level position that is open to the public (with access to beer, no less). The event will be live-streamed and we encourage you to come out and check out the candidates, one of which will most likely take the HD64 seat. Take your photos and get in the know, y'all.

So you like shoegaze, maybe you understand the noise scene, and you occasionally like long, ambient, drone or doom metal pieces. Maybe not. Either way, we've got a nice, subtle introduction to the scene for you featuring tracks from three North Texan acts, so spark up your fireplace, sit down in your favorite chair, and prepare for a good stiff drink as we delve into the euphoric soundscapes of Glasir, Michael Barber, and Riftworm.
