Bowl & Barrel turns 1! And celebrates with cheap drinks!
Who doesn't love a birthday party? Nobody. Know what makes a birthday party better? Cheap drinks - like $1 drinks. Even better when it's good beer and Manhattans. Oh, and cake, because it's not a birthday without cake.

Plano Just Got A Lot Scarier . . . . With Dark Hour Haunted House
It’s that time of year again – the one where you watch the
scary movie you come across while channel surfing, buy all the orange and black
candy at Target, and carefully plan who will be the friend or date you cling to
for dear life as you go through a haunted house. So, of course I grabbed the Sig-O and we headed off to check out haunted houses. While the Sig-O certainly enjoys a good haunted house, the real entertainment is apparently my own screaming more than the children who are in the tour behind us. I also have a tendency to teach them new words if they're following too closely.
While I won’t ruin your haunted house experience by giving
you the room by room fright breakdown, I will say that the folks behind Dark
Hour have spared no expense and it shows. This is not your neighborhood haunted
house for the kiddos and this is definitely not the same old guy with a hockey
mask chasing you with a chainsaw. Dark Hour Haunted House provides a full
experience that will likely show up in your dreams and nightmares for a week. The
lighting, sound system and special effects are worth the trip, even if you
pretend to be one of those who doesn't scare.
As one of the only haunted houses in the area to hire
professional actors, Dark Hour has elevated the level of our local haunts. They
know just when to jump out or look alive to get that perfect scare. Their
elaborate sets and lighting have been designed to intensify the fright you’ll
get. It’s rather remarkable given that they've been in the building just under
eight weeks and built all the sets from the ground up (the 30,000 square foot
space used to be a Sports Authority). You’ve still got a few weeks to check out
Dark Hour and they’re open Friday-Sunday through November 2nd (as
well as the Thursday of Halloween, of course).
We've seen a number of the haunts around to, there’s a new
kid on the haunted house block that’s well worth your trip to Plano and your
haunted house dollars – Dark Hour Haunted House.
While I won’t ruin your haunted house experience by giving
you the room by room fright breakdown, I will say that the folks behind Dark
Hour have spared no expense and it shows. This is not your neighborhood haunted
house for the kiddos and this is definitely not the same old guy with a hockey
mask chasing you with a chainsaw. Dark Hour Haunted House provides a full
experience that will likely show up in your dreams and nightmares for a week. The
lighting, sound system and special effects are worth the trip, even if you
pretend to be one of those who doesn't scare.
Halloween is almost here, so you’re worried about those
dreaded lines this weekend. While Dark Hour’s line moves well, you’ll be happy
to stand in line a few extra minutes to watch the Dark Hour dancers do their
dances to (what else?) Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Once you enter, the route
takes you through three areas – Dominion of the Dead, Coven Manner and Voodoo
Vengeance. Again, we won’t ruin your experience with the details, but as you go
through , don’t forget to notice all the details they've included in the haunt –
bricks that were cut by hand, reclaimed wood on houses and decoration that’s
been done with a careful eye to intrigue and frighten you at the same time.

State Fair of Texas Ticket Deals!
Nobody should pay full price for tickets to the State Fair, which opens Friday. Here's a round up of the ticket deals (Thanks to the fabulous people at CultureMap):
North Texas Food
Bank deals: On opening day, anyone who brings in a full 20 ounce
Coca-Cola product or Dasani water will get into the fair for $6. Also, NTFB has
teamed up with Kroger for a special deal every Wednesday, where everybody who
brings in at least three cans of food gets in for $3. That means 3 cans for
each person. Don’t try to get in a crowd on 3 cans.
It's good to be
a senior: Sure, seniors — anyone 60 and over — already get a $4 discount
from the regular price, but every Thursday during the State Fair is Senior Day,
where those lucky folks can get in absolutely free.
McDonald's coupons: Eat at any area McDonald's, and you're likely to get a coupon for
$3 off general admission, good for any day at the fair. They also have a coupon
where a child can get in for half price when an adult pays full price, a
discount of $6.50.
Dr Pepper deals: Make sure to save up those empty Dr Pepper cans, as each one is
good for $5 admission on Tuesdays or $8 admission any day after 5 pm.
Coca-Cola
Thursdays: In addition to the opening-day deal, every Thursday is
Coca-Cola Thursday, where an empty 20-ounce bottle is good for $6 admission.
Dickies Day: Forget the
Coke bottles on Thursday, October 3 — just make sure to wear any piece of
clothing with a Dickies logoon it,
and you'll get in for free.
Cinemark Thursdays: Movie lovers
can trade one piece of entertainment for another on any Thursday, as a ticket
stub from any Cinemark theater gets you in for free.
KISS-FM Fridays: Go to the KISS-FM site and print the coupon for $5 off
general admission on any Friday. Make sure to print a coupon for every person
in your group.
Discount on Midway
rides: Saving on ticket prices is one thing, but everyone knows it's the
rides and the food that really drive up the cost. If you go on any Tuesday,
though, all rides except for thrill rides and the Texas Star are only six
coupons, a savings of anywhere between two to six coupons (or $1-$3) per ride.
