Don't forget, Saturday May 14 is the spring edition of the twice yearly Arts Goggle on Fort Worth's Near (or is it Mid) South Side. In years past most of the action was concentrated along Magnolia Avenue between 8th Ave and Hemphill but it's slowly spread in all directions.
Lots of art and music, lots of fun. Printed handouts are available at most venues and locations of events can be found on the web. DFW.com has musical lineups, and Fort Worth South has a printable PDF of both art and music programs. Facebook has a page as well.
My old friend John Moore has a closing reception at Arts 5th Ave which I will be attending, and I'm told a friend will be playing at Shaws's, so chances are I'll be there at some point. In addition to the art and music, this is a great opportunity to see some of the redeveloped spaces in the area.
Be there or be square!
