Looking For a Good Time? Maybe You Should Go Back To School.

Local colleges and universities don’t exist solely to advance their students. Colleges and universities offer a number of (low-cost) intellectual, artistic, and scientific pursuits for the general public as well. Dallas-Ft. Worth is fortunate in that it has a number of robust colleges and universities at its disposal: University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), University of Texas at Arlington (UTA), Southern Methodist University (SMU), Dallas County Community College District, and Texas Christian University (TCU) to name a few.

Here is a quick glance at some of the goings on this week alone:

SMU – February 5, Tate Lecture Series presents actor and humanitarian, Martin Sheen, star of the TV series “The West Wing”

UTD – Every Tuesday in February, The Brain: An Owner’s Guide – 2008 Lecture Series

DCCCD – Eastfield Campus – February 7, Gallery 210 Exhibit 'Beau Comeaux: Recent Images' Reception and Gallery talk

TCU – February 7, TCU Symphony Orchestra Concert

UTA – February 9, Maverick Speaker Series presents a lecture and Q&A session with actor/director, Spike Lee

Hey LadyOLeisure!

Did you attend any of these events? How were they?

What was going on in Dallas for Valentine's day? Did you have a hot date?

I did. But, what does one do in Dallas now after Valentine's day to entertain a beautiful lady like yourself?
