Moonlight Festival

Last night I went to the Moonlight Festival in Seattle, which I guess is a Chinese celebration for kids where they eat moon pies. Unfortunately, I wasnt able to find any moon pies, but it was really a blast! I guess the first presentation was a dragon dance (which I missed). I arrived just as the keiko drummers were playing. What an exciting team! After that the Massive Monkees break dance crew took the stage...those guys (and one girl) are amazing! I guess the recently won the world championships recently, which was quite evident to see. The part that really stole the show was when they brought kids out from the audience to learn some  moves. It was a total kick in the pants when they had a "battle"...all the kids and audience volunteers showing their stuff one at a time to see whos the best! I think some of the older kids must have been doing it for a while, because they were doing some very acrobatic still that must have taken years of training. I think Ive found a new form of dance that Im a fan of now!

Im going to Dallas for the first time a week from now, and have been doing some research on good restaurants and whats fun to do there. So far its Texas BBQKuby's, and Home | The Sixth Floor Museum. I found these three on the travel channel, which ive kind of been into lately. I also plan on checking out Main | Texas Ballet Theater while im there. This huge state seems like a whole different world to me, whith all kinds of things I never knew existed! If any of you have been to Dallas and know of some good spots please let me know...
