Weekend Plans

This weekend brings us cheese, bananas, and the mumbled ramblings of a goth/heavy metal superstar.

1. Friday night is fondue night at Scardello Artisan Cheese on Oak Lawn. 35 bucks gets you fondue, salad, dessert and a glass of sparkling wine. Cheese, dessert and wine - three of my favorite things.

2. No it is not a sign of the apocalypse if you see a bunch of people dressed up in banana costumes roving around Uptown. Apparently, Saturday is World Banana Day. Whisky Tango Foxtrot. I know it is supposed to raise money to fight world hunger (proceeds go to N. Texas Food Bank), but couldn't they have picked a better colored and better tasting fruit? Like an orange or a mango or a strawberry. Since this is Uptown, this World Banana Day festivity is also a pub crawl.

3. Maybe Ozzy Osbourne will bite the head off a bat and use the blood to sign his name for you at his book signing at the Barnes & Noble by Northpark. He will be signing copies of his autobiography "I am Ozzy" at 1pm on Saturday.
