Fort Worth Link Roundup

  • Law + Character Do Not = Ethics | CityEthics.org
    Mayor Mike’s unabashed connections to energy companies are getting some attention from the think tanks. “Always suspect anyone who approaches an ethical issue purely in terms of law or in terms of character.”

    Speaking of Mayor Mike…Here’s your chance to see him take a flying leap.
  • Diamondbacks’ Max Scherzer’s Sharp Eyes and Fast Pitch
    Scherzer is a former Fort Worth Cat. Check out the photo…his right eye is blue, the left is brown. In his recent MLB debut, Scherzer came in as a reliever against the ‘Stros & retired the first 13 batters…Baseball History!

    Fort Worth Cats Opening Day Tonight!

    by Pete Wann

    If you’re not going to Wendy Davis’ birthday party tonight, I highly encourage all of you to join me tonight at La Grave Field to watch the Cats take on the Sioux Falls Canaries on Opening Day.

    The game starts at 7:05, and there will be fireworks after the game.

    I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: the Cats are the best value in family entertainment in the city, and possibly the entire Metroplex. Tickets start at $4, and the most expensive seats in the house are only $12. You can’t even park at Whatever-the-hell-it’s-called-now Park in Arlington that cheaply, I don’t think. I know $4 won’t even buy a beer there. (Of course it won’t at La Grave, either, but it’s still cheaper.)

    Seriously — drag the clan out on a school night for the festivities, you won’t be disappointed.

    Hear Ye! Hear Ye! All Rise For The Honourable Roundup!

  • Ever imagine what it looks like from the cockpit of a passenger jet landing and taking off from DFW? The Airliner blog has the videos, Captain.
  • The Fort Worthian finds that silver lining after getting a traffic citation. A trip downtown to deal with the ticket led Steve to Bailey BBQ on Taylor, a place he’d never noticed before.
  • The Durango Texas blog has writeup and YouTube-ry from last Saturday’s PrairieFest. You’ll see our booth at about 3:16 on the video! We are famous in the internet! Durango Texas looks like a pretty interesting read (especially the frequent Star-Telegram bashing) and I am looking forward to spending some time on the site.
  • No guarantees this is exactly legal or even moral, but this here blog has links to bootleg recordings of Jimi Hendrix at the Memorial Auditorium in Dallas on Feb 16, 1968 and the Will Rogers Auditorium here in Fort Worth on Feb 17, 1968. Tom Huckabee talked at length about Hendrix at Will Rogers in our comments a few months back. I wonder if there was ‘l’amore’ in the bushes that night?
