There was a “Dallas Texas” evolution chart with animals like an iguana and dolphin I was physically climbing up, and each step said “I want you to walk” with a blank for the animal name. At the top it said “Dallas Texas, Hell” with a mini sun. (Dallas Texas was in Hell.)
This should be every Jewish organization and gathering place.

The Green Acres Court of Dallas, Texas opened in 1950, at a time when Dallas was 90% white, and closed in the late 70s, after co-owner Redmon Revis died.
At one time, it was one of the only motels in the city that welcomed black people and was featured in the Green Book. Prominent guests included Ray Charles and Etta James. The city's Landmark Commission briefly pushed to save it but when that didn't work, it was suggested that the new owners erect some sort of memorial to recognize the motel's significance instead.
It was replaced by a new development. Not saying it doesn't exist but I was unable to locate a memorial on the property.
He remembers the shirt I sent to him, and he still wears it. He also joked that he was going to steal the design and sell it in the UK. 😅 I reminded him that his merch guy was supposed to contact me (email) if they decide to turn it into merch. Then he said he wasn't going to steal it (of course) but that he really does like and wear it. Then I got some pics with him.
I mean....
That is all.
(Oh, but I also met Matthew Setzer who was playing with Front Line Assembly this year. He used to be in Skinny Puppy. Last year, Tim Sköld was filling this role; he's well known for being in KMFDM.)
