The Beautiful People at Candleroom

You have to love Candleroom. Dallas's classy "Place to be seen" was rocking Thursday night as the "Bottles and Boots" program kicked off and I had to say, I watched these peoples eye brows raised as they wondered what the hell was going on with this music. "Bottles and Boots" mashes Country with Hip Hop to amazing results. One minute your listening to Kenny Chesney and out of nowhere 50 Cent is in the club. Go figure, but it worked!!

Now about the people, it's blend of the hip and the ultra hip. Bottle Service (Zodiac is available there) cuts off the wanna be rich from the rest of us, but they sure are fun to look at. People "Dress" to go to Candleroom, and it's nice to see a place in town that so hugely resembles L.A. or NYC.

Cretia's on McKinney goes "Bottles and Boots"

Cretia's, the ever-popular restaurant, turned SMU hangout is going to feature a very interesting concept over the next few months: Starting this coming Wednesday, they will feature a "Mash Up" of Country music and Hip Hop that has to be heard and not read about. It's impossible to describe. One moment you're hearing Faith Hill and then there's Lil Wayne somehow blended into the beats of the song. They started this at "Candleroom" last week and it was truly amazing to watch people dancing to what I'm sure they didn't quite get, but loved it anyway. If you haven't been to either Cretia's or Candleroom lately, there are no hotter spots in Dallas than these two places right now. Candleroom tends to get the beautiful people there and Tommy D and Shaun are great hosts. Cretica's, which has just re-opened is at the far north end of McKinney almost too close to Highland Park for it to be truly fun, but it is. You need to check this out. Of course Zodiac Vodka is the "bottle" part of this promotion. You can't miss out when you're only paying $100 for a bottle service at either of these places!

PARTY IN THE PENTHOUSE

The Dallas Film Festival was kicking off, and there was an invite to the "Party in the Penthouse" that went around. Last minute, we decided to go. You walked into the "Red Carpet" area of this incredibly nice high rise apartment complex--The Mondrian, kind of on the corner or West Village, but across the street. Why I had never heard of this before now is beyond me. I was met by a smiling young man and a photographer who took our pictures making us feel very VIP. Then we went up. Up to the 17th floor, which does sound all that "High" but it was. The apartment of this guy was nice, but the balcony and the view, uh, dude, amazing. By some miracle, it had stopped raining and there were quite a few VIP's around, including one Hershel Walker. Met the owner, and he's a Rep for Zodiac Vodka, which rocked. They were making pear martini's and watching the sunset. This is how I want to live when I grow up! Nice way to start AFI Dallas! One last serious note: I met a very nice lady, her name: Repunzel. Yes, Repunzel showed me to the Tower! Go figure!!! The Mondrian rocks!

Support the Independents!!

If you live in Dallas, you must know how hard it is to buy a bottle of liquor in this town. It's the home of MADD but they make you DRIVE To find a liquor store. Amazing. Anyway, I made a great discovery the other day: Monticello Liquor Store on Monticello and HWY 75 (Right on the Corner) Just incredibly nice people and a full stock of everything you need. Ask for Mike or Justin, they will fully take care of you!!
