Happy Easter weekend! It’s been a week of damaging hail and relentless sunshine here in the diabolical North Texas area, possibly within the same 15 minutes for some of you. Here are a handful of fun things you can go out and experience this weekend, and not all are egg-related. (Some are; I mean, come on… hoppin’ down the bunny trail and all that.) I’m about to head out and be a chaperone at an LGBT teen dance hosted by Embrace Church in the mid-cities. I’m not sure if I’m qualified to be a bouncer, but at least I have my t-shirt.

We’ve been trolling for your email for a few weeks now, and this is your last chance to get in on the goods. THEN, we draw for the Fort Worth Food + Wine Festival April 2 Rise + Dine event. Just typing this is making me hungry. Cut off for entries is 11:30am.
