But being charitable can take a lot of hard work and time that we don’t always set aside for such worthwhile causes. (Ouch, we can feel your shame blazing toward us right through the Internet!) And drink water, wear shirts or chew gum 2010-09-07T08:00:00-06:00 http://www.gaylistdaily.com/dallas/entries/shhhhhhh_were_drinking/ http://www.gaylistdaily.com/dallas/entries/shhhhhhh_were_drinking/#When:08:00:00Z It’s not all about disco balls and glow sticks. Sometimes, believe it or not, we just want to relax and enjoy great food, drinks and conversation while listening to a piano player or sultry singer softly lulling us into a post-work trance. It’s downright therapeutic—and far less expensive than our psychiatrist. Head to the Library and study up on “old school” 2010-09-02T08:00:00-06:00 http://www.gaylistdaily.com/dallas/entries/go_on_safari_a_big_gay_safari/ http://www.gaylistdaily.com/dallas/entries/go_on_safari_a_big_gay_safari/#When:07:59:00Z Time for a little free-association game. We’ll give you a category, and you just shout out the first brand you think of. Just make your mind go completely blank and through the magic of the Internets we’re going to be able to predict your responses. Ready? Facial tissues…KLEENEX! Bleach…CLOROX! Jeans…LEVIS! Soda pop…COKE! Whitney Houston’s Favorite Snack…COKE! Be very quiet. We’re hunting men! 2010-09-02T07:59:00-06:00 http://www.gaylistdaily.com/dallas/entries/road_trip_chicken_fried_state/ http://www.gaylistdaily.com/dallas/entries/road_trip_chicken_fried_state/#When:08:00:00Z Didn’t quite make that goal to fit into that tiny swimsuit by Labor Day? Then why not just forget the pool this weekend and make a pilgrimage to taste a bit of Texas legend: Chicken-Fried Steak from Mary’s in Strawn, Texas. We first read about this tiny café in The Dallas Morning News two years ago and it was always on our short-list of places to try. But we never seemed to have the true desire time to drive two hours out of town to grab a bite to eat. So we had to make time. And boy-oh-boy are we glad we did. Make a holiday weekend drive to Mary’s 2010-08-31T08:00:00-06:00 http://www.gaylistdaily.com/dallas/entries/twelve_inches_of_happiness/ http://www.gaylistdaily.com/dallas/entries/twelve_inches_of_happiness/#When:08:00:00Z Let’s be honest. We’re not always the biggest fans of franchises, especially when it comes to restaurants. We prefer to patronize mom-and-mom and pop-and-pop businesses that have personality and distinctive service, as evidenced by our recent Gay List Deals launch. Well, that concept was shattered the moment we walked into the new Subway on the Cedar Springs strip a couple months ago. It smelled like a Subway (the fresh bread gets us every time), tasted like Subway, but doesn’t look like a normal Subway. And from a franchise, no less 2010-08-26T08:00:00-06:00 http://www.gaylistdaily.com/dallas/entries/august_mixer_tonight_the_brick/ http://www.gaylistdaily.com/dallas/entries/august_mixer_tonight_the_brick/#When:08:00:00Z Our always fabulous monthly mixer is tonight! What better way to celebrate the end of the recent oppressive summer weeks than with hot go-go boys at The Brick?! We're returning to one of our favorite haunts, The Brick & Joe's over on Wycliff, tonight 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. Celebrate the end of oppressive temps with hot go-go boys 2010-08-25T08:00:00-06:00 http://www.gaylistdaily.com/dallas/entries/a_gay_man_walks_into_a_bar/ http://www.gaylistdaily.com/dallas/entries/a_gay_man_walks_into_a_bar/#When:08:00:00Z Sometimes, technology makes ordinary tasks more difficult than they were the “old fashioned” way. Take our all-time favorite useless products: The EZ Cracker; a $150 paper towel dispenser; or, because who hasn’t gotten exhausted rolling meatballs, this thing. Yet sometimes, something comes along that truly makes life easier. That’s where the new Tabbed Out app comes in. It’s a drunk’s cocktail enthusiast’s dream come true. And pays for it when he gets home 2010-08-24T08:00:00-06:00 http://www.gaylistdaily.com/dallas/entries/gay_list_daily_deals/ http://www.gaylistdaily.com/dallas/entries/gay_list_daily_deals/#When:07:59:00Z Hi - Cooper Smith Koch here, Gay List Daily's founder and publisher. Last week we launched a new initiative that I want to personally tell you more about - Gay List Daily Deals. I’ll keep it short - we want to help local businesses, especially gay-owned and gay-friendly ones, during these still-trying economic times. And we hope very much that you'd like to join us in this mission. A few times a week, we'll highlight a local business that's offering a fabulous discount (at least 40% off full price) to our 10,000 or so Gay List Daily readers in Dallas. The only catch is that each deal must be purchased that day for you to use on your next visit. It's a great way to try out a new place or service without breaking the bank. A quick word from our publisher 2010-08-24T07:59:00-06:00 http://www.gaylistdaily.com/dallas/entries/sunday_bloody_sunday/ http://www.gaylistdaily.com/dallas/entries/sunday_bloody_sunday/#When:08:00:00Z At Gay List Daily, we love our BOTM’s. Even when we find them at straight bars. But it just goes to show, that a good Brunch of the Month can be hidden anywhere. And our favorite new hotspot is J. Black’s Feel Good Lounge on Henderson Avenue (not to be confused with Miss Kwan’s Feel Good Massage on Harry Hines). What we like most is that brunch at J. Black’s is like going on safari. Off in one banquette, a graceful sorority girl is grazing on salad and taking intermittent dips into the pool of fresh Mimosa in front of her, while at a nearby table, a frat boy is waiting for his moment to pounce. (We should probably warn her, but we’re sworn under oath not to interfere with the stories we’re reporting.) After a short dance-like maneuver and a flick of his A&F ball cap, he releases his AXE-scented pheromones and goes in for the kill. Within minutes, she’s in his lap, giggling relentlessly. The circle of life, folks. It’s the real deal. Our August Brunch of the Month pick 2010-08-19T08:00:00-06:00 http://www.gaylistdaily.com/dallas/entries/how_low_can_you_go1/ http://www.gaylistdaily.com/dallas/entries/how_low_can_you_go1/#When:08:00:00Z Coupons are sooo in vogue now. We’ve even started carrying our own designer coupon caddy into Kroger to make the whole event of saving 50 cents on Spam that much more sophisticated and classy. Yet that’s not enough for our bargain hunger. So we’ve worked our magic with local businesses to bring you the best deals around in a brand new service called Gay List Deals. You’ve seen the other daily coupon offers and we love them too, but ours are a little different. Gay List Deals are here and prices are dropping faster than our pants 2010-08-17T08:00:00-06:00
