Awesome documentary about the Dallas music scene from the 50's through the 70s: When Dallas Rocked
This looks to be self-produced and pretty amateur but it was so cool to me to see what a big influence Dallas and Dallas radio was to the rock scene in the past decades. From the start of KZEW (The Zoo), to Q102, to Freddy King's career and the Vaughn brothers qrowing up in Oak Cliff. So many famous bars and clubs that aren't around anymore featured. Every major label had an office in Dallas at the time.
That's all gone now, and radio sucks. But it used to be cool at one time.

I don't really like Grandscape so that's kind of a turn off. It looks cool for a sporting event but I'm sure tickets and concessions are $$$. I would go for a planetarium or nature show if it was reasonably priced.
