Get Out & About for the Week of September 16, 2012

By Ohsocynthia @OhSoCynthia
Get Out & About for the week of September 16, 2012 My whole social life revolves around food. If you don’t like to eat, we will not be friends, so I am VERY excited about the Metropolitan Cooking & Entertainment Show coming to the Dallas Convention Center this next weekend. This event is headlined by Food Network stars Paula Deen and Bobby Flay.
There will be tasting and entertainment workshops taught by industry experts that will expose guests to unique specialty foods and entertaining ideas.  Local and international specialty foods and food-related products will be for sale throughout the weekend from over 150 vendors.
General Admission tickets are $24.50. Additional tickets are required for special events, such as a VIP meet-and-greet with Paula Deen or Bobby Flay and entry to special lectures by the headliners (ticket prices range from $65 - $400).

Get Out & About for the week of September 16, 2012Every time I go to Las Vegas I try to attend a Cirque du Soleil show. They describe themselves as a "dramatic mix of circus arts and street entertainment" I describe it as the best darn show you will ever see!  Cirque du Soleil is returning to Dallas with a new big top touring show KOOZA.
The critically-acclaimed production opens Wednesday, September 19th for a limited engagement under the white Big Top at Lot E beneath Reunion Tower at 500 Memorial Drive. KOOZA is a return to the origins of Cirque du Soleil that combines two circus traditions - acrobatic performance and the art of clowning. The show highlights the physical demands of human performance in all its splendor and fragility, presented in a colorful mélange that emphasizes bold slapstick humor.  Tickets for KOOZA in Dallas are available as of Friday, April 27 at 10 a.m. online at cirquedusoleil.com/kooza.
