Howdy Folks, (Big Tex talking)

The Big D Rodeo (its the TGRA gay rodeo) will be in Dallas this year instead of over in Fort Worth. The rodeo is on Saturday and Sunday March 3rd and 4th. The rodeo starts between 8am and 9. It will last till about 5pm depending on how many contestants there are. You will see plenty if you are there from about 11 am or 12. Any profit from the rodeo goes to 501(c) charities in the TGRA chapter cities. The rodeo will be held in the Fair Park complex down in Dallas.

There is a price break available on the tickets if they are purchased by 9pm Friday March 2nd. Here is the link to the web site http://www.tgra.org/cms_rodeos/tickets.html The tickets are normally $15 a piece but they are doing 2 tickets for $25 if purchased in advance. You can either use both tickets for the same day (you and a friend) or buy the tickets and go to each day's performance. There will be vendors there and it is usually a lot of fun.

Hello Frisco Pride

I would like to invite you all to the Ninth Annual Toast of Life Gala benefiting the Resource Center of Dallas on February 24 at the Women's Museum at Fair Park. The theme this year is Vintage Glam and promises to be a spectacular evening.

It appears that one of the editors at Dallas Business Journal has decided to take on the "gays." In the November 20 edition of the Journal, an editorial titled, "Selling sex" discusses the recently launched website by the Dallas Convention and Visitors Bureau, that targets the GLBT tourist.
