​

Good morning, Dev Test County. For four decades, a quirky Canadian journalist in a tartan hat has been leaving celebrities speechless with his encyclopedic knowledge of their lives. Nardwuar's legendary interview style—complete with rare memorabilia gifts and his trademark freeze pose—brings his "Video Vault Tour" to Dallas on October 24, offering fans a behind-the-scenes look at viral moments with Snoop Dogg, Pharrell, and other stars caught off-guard by his meticulous research.

Dallas is inviting its creative community to leave permanent marks across the city. Local poets can have their Dallas-centric verses stamped into freshly poured sidewalks, while photographers have until October 24 to submit images capturing iconic landmarks for the Municipal Courts collection. Meanwhile, rock frontman Kevin Martin returns to his Texas roots, bringing Candlebox to Community Beer Co. on October 17 for charity shows benefiting at-risk youth—proving you can go home again, even after 32 years of platinum success.
