DJ Joe Gauthreaux spins the tunes at The Brick’s one-year anniversary party

Posted on

They just grow so fast

It’s hard to believe that in such a short time, the Brick closed, reopened and now is celebrating its first year in the new location. In a short time, the club has made its mark on the dance scene moving away from its initial leather/Levi environment to a club destination for national and local DJs. For the party, they bring in DJ Joe Gauthreaux from New York City. And don’t forget Joe’s Place next door. The smaller bar side of the club still maintains a cool vibe but gets in on the action as well.

DEETS: The Brick/Joe’s Place, 2525 Wycliff Ave., #120. Doors at 9 p.m. 18+. BrickDallas.com

Grindr Party might satisfy that itch at the Brick tonight

The app that brings people together

Every week at the Brick is the Grindr Party and going could pay off more than you know. We won’t guarantee that guy 48 feet away won’t block you and your constant messaging, but you could win an iPad and a one-year membership on Grindr. Face it, sometimes material things are worthwhile. If anything, you can always catch the amateur strip show at 11 p.m.

DEETS: The Brick & Joe’s, 2525 Wycliff Ave. 9 p.m. No cover. BrickDallas.com.

Posted on

Any football fans out there? Any Texas Longhorn fans? What about some Boomer Sooners? If so, then here’s something you may want to check out:

Equality Texas and The Equality Network out of Oklahoma are coming together on Saturday, Oct. 2, to host “Equality Watch,” featuring the annual Texas/OU game on TV, to raise money for the two LGBT equality organizations. It is sponsored by Bud Light and Belvedere Vodka.

The party is being held at The Brick/Joe’s. Admission is $25 at the door, and that gets you access to a complimentary buffet and drink specials. Kickoff is at 2:30 p.m., but the party runs from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. So be prepared to get there early and stay late.

Get into the groove with MadonnaRama at the Brick

Posted on

Where’s the party? Um, we know
MadonnaWhen there is a tour called MadonnaRama and the pop icon doesn’t even have to show up, well, that’s some kind of fame. DJ and remixer Ed Bailey brings the premiere theme tour to Dallas with Madge music going all night long. But will he take requests? Because we’d also love a slow dance to “Rain.”

DEETS: The Brick, 2525 Wycliff  Ave., Suite 124. 9 p.m. $20. BrickDallas.com.

Do you need just a piece of a church?

Posted on
Oak Cliff Christian Church

Earlier this year, I wrote a story about a historic church that the Old Oak Cliff Conservation League was trying to save.

OOCCL president Michael Amonett reports that the group wasn’t successful but did get a temporary reprieve of sorts. Dallas Independent School District Trustee Eric Cowan and OOCCL past president and counsel John McCall negotiated a deal. Anyone who can use part of the building and will haul it off, can have it for just a small payment.

They wrote:

Want it? Want just the front and sides? Want to build your new building with brick that doesn’t come in sheets?

Make an offer and it might not be refused. Let’s just say it’s been marked down to sell from the previous 1.2 million. The only catch is that it can’t stay here.

So if you want a beautiful facade, you can buy this one for a nominal fee.

We don’t know how many feet tall it is but would be happy to stand on the roof and hold the tape measure, that way we could see which lucky area could benefit from this beautiful piece of architecture.

This is the last chance for some form of this church to live on elsewhere … as well as evade the landfill which as far from green or sustainability as one could possibly go.

Wouldn’t those pillars look great somewhere, maybe in Bishop Arts? Bet those bricks could be re-used in some renovation project. Bid on it by Sept. 15 and haul it off by Dec. 31, when DISD tears down the building to make way for the new Adamson High School tennis courts.

For details, contact Amonett at president@ooccl.org
