Remnants of Yesteryear

Kathy (Kodi01) used to live in the San Francisco area, so I wasn't sure what I could possibly give her. Then in a flash I thought, "Hmmm.....a mug might be good to go with that coffee!"
If ya'll ever met Kathy, you'd know she's a BALL of ENERGY! Surely, caffeine might be involved with that! (or is all that ENERGY au natural my dear?)
Audience Participation

At the festival you will get your chance to dance with the Indians. A few will come down from the stage and into the audience and start dancing around in a large circle. There is certainly nothing tiring or difficult in what you get to try with them.

There are lots of churches in Dallas. Some of the churches have impressive architecture to offer. One being Highland Park United Methodist Church, located by SMU on the corner of Mockingbird Ln and Hillcrest. They have beautiful stone mason on the exterior of the building.
The Entrance
by keeweechic
David Newton deisgned 5 huge sculptures of Africans and African American’s to be exhibited over the 1.2 acre park. His aim was to create a park of solitude and reflection for both descendants and visitors. The Entrance portrays a symbolic male and female figure – supposedly the warrior (The Sentinel) and a griot (The Prophetess).
Location : Freedman’s Memorial - corner of Lemmon Ave and Central Expressway in Dallas
Deep Ellum Film Festival & USA Film Festival
by geanster about Film Festivals
I've never actually been to any of the Deep Ellum Film Festival screenings, but the friends of mine who have been enjoyed the festivities. I know that Sandra Bullock has shown up a couple of years as well as other folks like Bill Paxton when he had his directorial debut of Frailty. Dallas has amazing independent film support with not only groups like this one but an ever-growing number of independent film theaters such as The Angelika, Magnolia, Inwood, etc.
Deep Ellum Film Festival (DE/F2)
Now in its fifth year, the Deep Ellum Film Festival is Texas’ fastest growing film event and the premier independent film festival in Dallas. DE/F2 is unique in its mission of promoting the art of filmmaking while supporting the ongoing battle with cancer.
The USA Film Festival also takes place each year in Dallas. It's scheduled for April 22-29th, 2004. I've been to some of their screenings last year and it really is a cool experience to see a movie and then sit for a question and answer session with the director as is sometimes scheduled. It's fascinating to be that close to the creativity and to deconstruct the film into what it actually took to make it.
