Shameless Boyfriend/Club Promotion


h1 July 8th, 2008

Yeah, so he’s an owner of Club Dada…and yeah, he books his own band there sometimes. Hell, wouldn’t you if you owned a club?

We are opening at 6pm every Friday for Happy Hour, featuring a different Tribute/Cover band every week. This week, Forgotten Space gets their trip on. So wear your bell bottoms, bring your love beads and

But stick around for Escort Service. You get to hear them bring the rock, and see me dance like a fool with Lesley while we gaze lovingly at the hot boys in the band…oh, and the songer/singwriter is my boyfriend. :)

Come To Me Now!


h1 July 3rd, 2008

You know you don’t have to go to work tomorrow. And you probably will be hanging out with the fam, eating tubular meat and watching lame ass fireworks. Dull….

So to get ready for it, here’s what I suggest:

Come hang out with me at Club Dada tonight!

It’s beautiful on the patio, we have Spector 45 playing at 11pm, and NO COVER!

We’re closed tomorrow for the holiday, so come get your drink on, tell me how great I look in my Betsey Johnson skirt, and ogle Frankie (he’s hot, but too young for me…besides, I’m taken).

First 5 people who show up and say “Pony Muff” get a drink on the house!

Peace,
Val

Saturday Night @ Club Dada - Deep Culture Returns!


h1 June 27th, 2008

The Deep Culture event last month was such a success that we’ve decided to do it again!

Come out to Dada, listen to bands, drink lots of beer, listen to poets, purchase some cool art from local artists…and ogle the models (of course).

It all starts at 7pm. Be there!

Club Dada and Ben Make the Dallas Observer


h1 June 26th, 2008

And all I got was a HORRIBLE photo of myself. I think the Observer picked that photo on purpose because I was adament about being included in the photo, even though the story is all about Ben saving our club.

Gotta hand it to him, he’s loving, caring, smart, funny, sexy and talented…AND he loves me (and we all know I’m no picnic). I can’t express how much I appreciate his dedication to turning Club Dada around. I have a day job that I love at Verizon, and I just don’t have the time to manage a club, even though I am an owner. Ben knew the predicament I was in, and he stepped in to make things happen. Read the story here. My man rocks!

I’m Voting Republican

I know this has already made the rounds on the web, and I saw it twice on MySpace today. But I just had to post it here too because it made me so happy.


That’s It…I’m Cloning Myself


h1 June 21st, 2008

Two great shows at two different clubs. What’s a girl to do?

Since Ben and I own Club Dada, I’m required to tell everyone to go to the Times New Viking show. I know it’s going to be amazing.

But, I also have good friends at City Tavern. And I must go show my support of one of the best bartenders and all around girls in the world, Misha.

I’m going to try to make both, and I suggest you do the same. :)

Details..Details…Details…

CLUB DADA 8pm 17 & up

Times New Viking!!!
Record Hop
Teen Age Cool Kids

CITY TAVERN 9pm NO COVER

ASSASIN PARTY tonight to BENEFIT Misha
Due to a random act of violent stupidity and assholery Misha needs eye surgery to fix the vision in her right eye.
Come donate and get a kick-ass eye patch to support one of the coolest chicks around!

Also, Alligator Dave and Ruben V will be playing.

Now I know why they sent me to New Jersey


h1 June 19th, 2008

Having been at Verizon for over 7 years now, I think any attempt for me to hide my, um…outgoing personality has been fairly transparent.

My boss asked me to come to New Jersey this week to check out a few promotional kiosks that were made for kids at the Tribecca Film Festival. The thought was that I would be able to play with the demos and come up with some ideas on how to use those in other ways outside of the TFF.

Now I think they just wanted to see if I would really interact with the green screen “Rock Star” kiosk. I mean, come on…I hope no one placed bets against me doing that.

I’m Moonlighting at City Tavern Saturday, 5/24


h1 May 23rd, 2008

Big party for a great cause, lots of awesome bands, starts at 3pm and ends at 2am…AND Escort Service is playing at 11pm. I would have found a way to go anyway, but Josh asked if I would be the “donation collection girl,” so I had to say yes. Besides, he’s letting me borrow Dusty and Ben for our Deep Culture event at Club Dada on 5/31.

Not sure what a “donation collection girl” does, or what to wear for that matter. I’m hoping I get to ring a bell incessantly like the Salvation Army Santas do in front of Target every year.

Here are the details…be there or be stupid…

Club Owner Fun and Undead Vampires


h1 May 13th, 2008

Amanda and I went to the restaurant supply store yesterday to buy some stuff for Dada. Among the exciting items we bought were cherry flavored…I mean, scented urinal cakes, rocks glasses and knives. It was then that I realized that one could even buy interesting sex toys at the store. Amanda later told me that I was looking at a boning knife, not a vibrator. Nonetheless, we decided it would only be good for certain occasional uses.

As for undead vampires…be sure to check out Unknown Hinson tonight at Club Dada. When I asked Amanda what they were about, she said, “Undead Vampirism Rockabilly.” Later that evening, my friend Nick said, “There’s nothing better than some Unknown Hinson.”

Guess I better get my goth/rockabilly/stiff boner on…
