http://frontburner.dmagazine.com/2009/10/13/notes-on-the-just-completed-philbin-awards-luncheon/ FrontBurner® has been called the best blog in Dallas (repeatedly), a snarky celebration of ignorance, and a daily conversation about Dallas among the editors of D Magazine.

The Philbin people have been aware for some time that Wilonsky and I both work for the Morning News, but they had been given clear instructions not to share this information with the public. I don't know who dropped the ball. Now that it's out, I might as well go ahead and tell you that Robert and I actually run the Morning News. My avatar over there is "George Rodrigue" and Robert's is "Jim Moroney." But it's us. I hate it when I have to go over there, because my back gets hurt from having to scrunch down into my little short George Rodrigue disguise. Anyway, our plan is to to run the paper into the groudn and then make a killing on the real estate after we get our own DART station. It's gonna be us and Fair Park -- the new Park Cities. How're we doin' so far you think? This was unplanned.

Oprah, U2, and now Regis all in Big in one week!! Alas, it turns out it was just a boring post. I got real excited for Dallas when I read this headline.
