Chorale launches 35th season with Brave concert
It took some guts nearly 35 years ago to launch a gay men’s chorus in the buckle of the Bible Belt, so it’s no surprise that kind of fortitude — and many other kinds — inspired the 35th season opener of the Turtle Creek Chorale. Called Brave, it tells stories of faith, courage and perseverance through music, song and story (including personal reminiscences of singing members), Patty Breckenridge and inspirational singer Chris Chism, pictured, are the special guest performers.

DJ J Warren spins at HoneyPot
If you like bears, you attract them with honey. That’s the thinking of Honey Pot at least, which returns with its Bear Fest at the Dallas Eagle this Sunday. In addition to live music on the patio by Joseph Veazie and tunes spun by DJ J Warren, pictured, there will be a marketplace of booths, information, donations made to Resource Center … and, of course, hot bearded men.

The Great Gatsby party swings into Dallas
F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel of the Jazz Age is the inspiration for the annual Great Gatsby Party, a fundraiser for AIDS Interfaith Network that invites you to swing into the 1920s with elegant clothing and booze pouring in a stately Preston Hollow mansion (Long Island was too far to drive). Come in costume and prepare to swing!
