Weather: Could be hot, could be raining, could be snowing, could be cold. This is, after all, Texas, where the temperature can drop 40 degrees in an hour, and every school child knows if Mom says "blue norther" to take a jacket to school no matter how hot it is at the moment. We'll let you know the day before what the weather MIGHT be!
Clothes: Contrary to what the District Overbeer suggests, clothes ARE highly recommended in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. If you wear a cowboy hat all the time it will brand you as a tourist. Kilts will get you a LOT of attention, particularly in Deep Ellum on a Saturday night after midnight. And if you go to Monica's Aca y Ala, don't bend over. Monica was once Eduardo and I'm not sure how much of "him" is left.
Bars: Plenty of 'em, except in the 'burbs. In the suburbs you have to have this stupid piece of cardboard called a "Unicard" which somehow makes it okay to serve you watered down drinks at Red Lobster.
Transportation: Cabbies who speak no English, or American, or Texan. Buses and trains that are still kind of new to us gas-guzzlin' Texans, so we drive ourselves most places.
Y'all come!
