(Yeah, that’s a Greg Kihn *and* Weird Al reference. A two-for-one special!)

Cultural District resident and West and Clear/Fort Worthology reader Mengmeng Zhang went one better than those of us who constantly shout answers ahead of Jeopardy contestants - he’s actually gone and done the thing. Mengmeng went before The Almighty Trebek to represent our great city in an episode of the long-running quiz show.

No run-ins with a foul-mouthed Sean Connery, alas, but still a nifty cool happening. How’d he do? Well, if I told you, the spirit of Alex Trebek’s mustache would visit me in the night and take my soul, so you’ll just have to find out for yourself when Mengmeng’s appearance airs on October 3rd.

Some new additions this week - Curtain Call will now be listing events and exhibits at the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame and the Fort Worth Community Arts Center.

Tonight is the night for the fall installment of Arts Goggle on the Near Southside. For the uninitiated, Arts Goggle is an event put on by Fort Worth South, Inc., the group that has led the urbanization of the Near Southside. Local businesses around the district open their doors tonight from 5:00 to 10:00 for an exhibition of local artists and music. This time around, it’s the biggest Arts Goggle yet, featuring fifty-four venues around the district - the big clusters being Magnolia Avenue, Park Place, South Main, and Vickery. Even better, this time around Fort Worth South will be providing a circulator bus and pedicabs, so everybody can enjoy Arts Goggle car-free! A complete program is available here.

I’ve participated in Goggles past - exhibiting my work (Fort Worth urban photography) at Fort Worth Urban Living, Texana Townhomes, and Panther City Bicycles. This time around, I’ve snagged another fantastic spot - I’ll be exhibiting at Spiral Diner, the frighteningly delicious vegan restaurant at Magnolia & 6th. If you attend, stop by and say hello.

(And for the curious - yes, Arts Goggle is free!)

Featured live music for tonight’s Goggle includes: [Read more]
