What about Montrose in Houston? I thought that was a great gay mecca? And if it's gay meccas he's after ... what about Austin? We're the gayest mecca there is!  (I realize it's not a huge market, just being a baby.  I'm really glad he's hitting Texas so hard!!) That's so interesting, because my impressions of Dallas and Houston are totally reversed from yours, mahailia, although I haven't spent a whole lotta time in either. I think of Dallas as basically an old-fashioned Texan city, and of Houston as a truly international metropolis--huge international population (esp. asian), very diverse, fourth biggest city in the US. One of my best friends from college is a gay guy who lives in the Montrose area of Houston that Junie mentioned, and I think he finds plenty of lively cultural stuff there. Houston has some fabulous restaurants, amazing music, and terrific museums (too bad you have to drive through several circles of hell to get there). If you want great museums in Dallas, you have to head to Fort Worth, where admittedly they are top notch, but Fort Worth really is an old-fashioned cattle town (in a kinda cool way). (Although Dallas County did elect an out lesbian latino sheriff--my go-to fact up east when people make (frequently fair) assumptions about Texas!) Wish Austin had a fraction of either Houston or Fort Worth's museum culture. Maannnnnn I am sooo of topic, sorry, got distracted...but yeah, WORD on Adam's coming to Austin. I'd be really curious about the turn-out he'd get. Kinda a snobby music town, I'm sorry to say, and more into the indy and blues scenes... Austin is almost totally self-absorbed. SXSW is about to start and ... wow. (For those who don't know, SXSW (South by Southwest) is one of the biggest industry events of the year for music, film, and interactive, held here in Austin in March -- it takes over the whole town for weeks. It's great! -- for those who have hundreds of dollars for passes, or like hordes of drunken frat boys on spring break, roaming the city without passes hoping to crash some of the events). In fairness I think you're right mwp. I don't think Adam will get a huge turnout here until he gets big somewhere else, and I doubt the Statesman or the Chronicle would acknowledge him except to make fun of him. The Idol stigma is a real thing here. My sister (a huge Glambert) mentioned Adam to a close friend who is active in the indie music scene here, and her friend reacted with such revulsion and contempt that it actually damaged their friendship. |

I think Lucas is a suburb of Dallas. From what little I know it is a former farm area that has recently been transformed by lots of newcomers looking for country living. Thanks for answering my question, Juniemoon. For some reason I thought it was an oil town. |
