STORY AND PHOTOS BY MARK HENRICKS
The good news about the 2025 Cal Tri Fort Worth is that I finished first in my age group in the sprint race. The bad news is that organizer California Triathlon doesn’t give age group medals, so I didn’t take home any hardware from Marine Creek Lake Park.
A possibly relevant fact is that only one person was in my age group. In fact, at 69, I was the oldest finisher in this particular race by several years, although two 70-year-old guys completed the longer, Olympic-distance event. I am grateful they showed up, because I’m not sure that being the oldest out there is a good thing.
Truth be told, however, aging is central to my race strategy. I figure you can win a couple of different ways. One way is to outswim, outbicycle,
and outrun your rivals. Alternatively, you can outlive them, and this has proven the best approach for me.
It’s still a little embarrassing. At my age, a Spandex onesie? There’s also a lot of undignified gasping for air. There’s much sweating. There’s likely staggering as the sun cooks brains in unprotected heads. And that’s just the spectators! The racers are worse.
Seriously, triathlon, if you didn’t know, is an endurance race with three legs. First you swim, then you bike, and finally you run. The sprint is typically the shortest triathlon race, although some events — styled as “rookie” races — are even briefer.
Sprint distances vary. Cal Tri Fort Worth consisted of a 400-yard swim, a 12.8-mile bike on surrounding roads, and a 3.1-mile run on the lakeside concrete path. Olympic distances are approximately twice that long, except the swim leg is a mile.
The sprint is triathlon’s gateway drug. You know how, if you take a single puff off a joint,
within weeks you’ll be rappelling from a broken skylight at midnight into a closed drugstore in search of injectable opiates? Same here. People start with sprints, progress to Olympic, then try a half-Ironman, and finally, regrettably, the full Ironman. Twelve-step programs for people who reach this point report mixed success.
With a 2.4-mile open-water swim and 112mile bike ride followed by a 26.2-mile marathon run, finishing an Ironman is a benchmark of endurance athleticism, a symbol of stick-to-itiveness par excellence. An elite Ironman competitor finishes in around eight hours. Most people are looking at 12 hours.
I have no interest in that or even a three-hour Olympic race. For one thing, my lower limbs can’t take that much running. If I run more than 6 miles at a time, or more than 10 miles a week, soft-tissue injury trails close behind. Then it’s weeks off recuperating followed by a slow and gradual resumption of activity. I dislike all that, so I stick to the race with the 3.1-mile run.
For another, I enjoy activities besides triathlon. Sprint training takes maybe five or six hours a week. Longer distances naturally require more. Ironman prep consumes something like 20 hours a week, or 30 if you are really competitive. We’re talking getting up at 4 a.m. weekdays to run for three hours, then pedaling a century on Saturday, followed by 3,000 yards in the pool on Sunday. Five or so workouts a week like this. For months. Nope!
So, I am a sprinter, but it may not be what it sounds like. It’s a sprint only compared to the longer races. “Slogging” might be the term that comes most naturally to mind at sight of a racer of my caliber progressing down the course.
Triathletes are wild for stats. They endlessly analyze swim minutes per 100 yards, bike miles per hour, and run pace per mile, among other digits. By the numbers, I took one hour, 29 minutes, and 40 seconds to complete this 16.4-mile course. That was good for 23rd out of 76 total participants — officially, that is (more on this later) — about 20 minutes behind first place and an hour ahead of the last finisher.
Per leg, it worked out to 2:16 per 100 yards swimming — again, officially, and again, more later. For some reason, Cal Tri’s results page lacks details on the other legs, but my watch showed I averaged 17.6 mph biking and 10:07-per-mile running. If you know anything about swimming, biking, and running, you know these times won’t get you a sneaker contract.
I can’t blame the weather entirely. At 7 a.m. on that Sunday, when I arrived to pick up my race packet and load bike, helmet, shoes and other gear into the transition area, it was cool, clear, and nearly windless.
This boded well for swimming. Marine Creek Lake showed barely a ripple, in contrast to my usual open-water practice at Lake Granbury.
continued on page 5
There, the orientation of the swim beach lets prevailing southerly winds whip up impressive chop. A mile of head-butting waves going upwind and spitting out water after every other attempt to breathe going across the wind lacks charm. Downwind has a body-surfing feel under those conditions, but, overall, I prefer still air and flat water.
Standing in line for your packet, arranging your gear just so in the transition area, and, especially, waiting for a portable toilet are all opportunities to converse with fellow triathletes. Everybody’s a little anxious until they get their packets, strap the timing chip to an ankle, place number stickers on bike and helmet, and deposit their gear in transition.
The transition area is where you pile helmet, bike shoes, socks, sunglasses, sweatband, running shoes, hat, race number belt, and whatever else you’ll need next to your bike, which hangs on a rack with hundreds of others. If you’re me, you count rows in from the swim entry to the transition area so you can quickly and reliably find your gear.
Checking out other people’s bikes provides endless entertainment. Some are stone-stock Walmart commuters. Some cost over $20,000 and feature dramatic streamlining and rear wheels consisting of a full disc. They’re chock-full of graphite, Kevlar and similar unobtainium, and weigh less than a saint’s conscience.
I acquired my bike for $750 fourth-hand after it was successively owned by three guys in an Ironman training group. There is no telling how many thousands of miles are on this rig. It got dragged behind my car for some distance when the bike rack failed (operator error may have been involved) and is generally nicked, dented, and worn to a frazzle. Someday I’ll get another, for less than $20,000.
This race allowed a swim warm-up before the 8 a.m. start. I’d driven the bike course the day before and, while I was there, got in a short swim, ride, and run to loosen up after a taper-down week of very light activity. A warm-up sounded good. I also heard there would be a moment of silence before that. This brings up a macabre aspect to the race. A CrossFit Games competitor a year
earlier drowned on this course. Twenty-eight-yearold Lazar Dukic suddenly and inexplicably went under as he approached the finish. By the time anyone noticed and pulled him out, it was too late.
This highlights the fact that the swim leg is the most dangerous part. Triathlon deaths are rare, but, when they happen, it’s usually during the continued on page 6

swim. If you cramp up a quarter-mile from shore and one of the lifeguards in kayaks doesn’t notice, things can go bad in a hurry. If it can happen to Dukic, an elite athlete and particularly strong swimmer, it can happen to anybody.
Swims have gotten less dangerous in recent years as races have ended mass starts. Running down the beach at the gun and splashing in with 50 other guys is exciting. It’s also a good way to get kicked in the head, have your goggles knocked off, breathe in a mouthful of water, and otherwise get in trouble. First buoy roundings are often only marginally less congested.
Nowadays, most races do a timed solo start. Swimmers walk to the edge of a dock and jump in one at a time, five seconds apart. This greatly reduces risk.
Also, almost all triathlons take place in this order: swim, bike, then run. The CrossFit racers ran three and a half miles before the half-mile swim. One theory is that Dukic, a Serbian unused to August in Texas, was too dehydrated or otherwise depleted by the time he hit the water to complete the course. His death could be a strong argument for swim first.
I got off to a bad start, jumping in with my goggles still on top of my head. That took a few seconds to clear, and I was off. The ideal conditions enabled what was, for me, a good pace — 1:53 per 100 yards by my watch.
However, swimming in the lake is not swimming in a pool. There’s no line on the bottom to guide you. You have to look up often to see the buoy so you stay on the course. Simple enough and something triathletes practice.
Somehow, I failed to lock on to the bright yellow and blue buoys, each roughly the size of a Kia, delineating the triangular course. As a result, according to my watch, I zigzagged 485 yards instead of 400 yards. Sigh.
The bike began better, with a downhill on the 820 service road to start. The first turn, however, was poorly marked -— almost not marked at all. As I approached it and slowed, another cyclist pulled up alongside and yelled, “Are we turning?” Having previously driven the course, I replied in the affirmative. She passed me, and I noticed a decal reading “Dawn Bauerle” on her front fork. At the first uphill, I passed the “Dawn Bauerle” rider, then she passed me on the next downhill. I passed her on the following uphill. We continued like this for a few miles until the hills ran out and she pulled away for good, or so it seemed. All turns except the first were well marked, and I’ve never seen so many police directing race traffic. There must have been dozens of them, which is good since the race ran largely on busy commercial streets, including some under construction with all traffic down to two narrow lanes. I dreaded the run, mostly because my right Achilles tendon had been aching for a month,
continued on page 7
and even a week’s total rest hadn’t done away with the throb. I greatly fear tearing an Achilles. I’ve watched more than one rec-league basketball player hobble off the court with that tear, never to return. I was nervous.
It had gotten hot and blazingly sunny by the time I started the run — not ideal conditions. Still, I felt good the first quarter-mile, which was all downhill. This lasted through some gentle ups and downs to the aid station a mile out. There I walked a few steps while gulping some water, not far behind a runner in a green and black tri suit whom I’d noticed earlier.
I followed this runner to the turnaround at 1.55 miles, gradually catching up. By the time I finally passed her on the last climb to the finish, she was walking, and I was struggling as well. Twenty yards to the finish, I fought down a sudden surge of nausea. Once through the finish arch, I stripped off my timing chip and stood hands on knees, more or less completely spent and debating whether I would be universally scorned if I threw up right there.
A few minutes and a cold can of Sprite raised my spirits, and I struck up a conversation with Anthony, a tall Fort Worthian doing his first triathlon with an eye on a half-Ironman before long. He was annoyed by a rookie mistake — starting too fast. No matter how careful you are not to do this, it’s nearly irresistible to come out too hot on the swim.
By the time Anthony got to the first buoy, only 100 yards or so in, he said he was struggling to get enough air in his lungs. He had to slowly breaststroke for half a minute to recover, and by then, he was thoroughly disgusted with his performance — only a few minutes in! — and frustrated by the whole thing.
We commiserated over the fact that triathlon favors bikers over swimmers and runners, while I privately wondered what performanceenhancing drugs let people pedal that fast.
I, a grizzled veteran of 15 or so races, counseled him that this was a common problem, probably caused by competitive adrenalin. After a few races, he’d calm down, strategize, and conserve energy. My favored approach is to start slow, then taper off, but I felt this might be an overly sophisticated insight for a neophyte, so I didn’t mention it.
Pushing my bike back to the truck after the brief awards ceremony, I ran into Vladimir, also of Fort Worth. He’d finished fifth overall, just out of the medals, after being passed toward the end of the bike by a couple of guys going even faster than his spanking 25-mph pace. We commiserated over the fact that triathlon favors bikers over swimmers and runners, while I privately wondered what performance-enhancing drugs let people pedal that fast.
By then, I’d looked up the results online. This informed me, among other things, that Dawn
Bauerle was the actual name of the racer I’d dueled with over much of the course. She was also the green-and-black-clad runner I squeaked by at the end. Interesting fact: She was the second-oldest sprint racer, at 61. She also finished third overall among all females — a striking accomplishment for the senior woman.
I’ll take this opportunity to set the record straight: Dawn also beat me, by 21 seconds, according to chip time. For reasons best known to the company that compiled the results, she was listed as finishing just behind me and in fact crossed the finish lane after I did. But chip time is what counts. So, props to you, Dawn! A nice race. (And I was 23rd only officially.)
As is often the case, there were points in the last mile of the run when I could not recall why I got into this sport. (The reason is that after 20 years of basketball, I was tired of being an average player on a good day, tried something new, and found I was better at endurance sports.) But then, I crossed the finish, caught my breath, and began looking forward to an afternoon on the couch watching football.
Overall, the best news about Cal Tri Fort Worth 2025 is that I escaped injury and did minimal walking, coasting, and doggy-paddling. I occupied my usual spot toward the front of the middle of the pack. I’m even starting to look ahead to the next one. Cal Tri hasn’t given a date for Fort Worth 2026, but whenever it is, I plan to be a year older — and still in the race. l

The Frogs and Ponies meet for the 104th time, potentially the last for a while.
BY BUCK D. ELLIOTT
The Horned Frogs are 2-0, and it feels like we have so much to catch up on, but at the same time, there’s little Frog football to dissect from the first two games and subsequent lopsided victories. 48-14 — that isn’t just the age gap between Bill Belichick and his girlfriend dashed across from former Giant Lawrence Taylor’s preferred age for a romantic partner. It was the score of TCU’s domination of the Tar Heels.
Full transparency: After UNC mowed through the Frogs during their first drive like my sons do a box of nutritionally garbage cereal, I was a little worried, and everyone attending in powder blue was ready to hand Belichick a lifetime contract. That’s when the fairytale ended, and the Horned Frogs rattled off 41 offensive and defensive points before North Carolina found the endzone again for the second and final time.
The most exciting part of the opening game was that it wasn’t. Josh Hoover (#10), outside of the opening drive, was remarkably accurate and seemingly unstoppable: 27/36 for 284 yards and two scores by the end of the evening. Kendal Briles called 35 rushes for a combined 258 yards and two touchdowns to complement Hoover, and five purple running backs saw action, exactly the balance fans should want to see from a team that seems able to compete with anyone in the conference right now.
Veteran safety Bud Clark (#21) snagged an interception and returned it for a score, and Devean Deal (#11) scooped a fumble for six as well. Two newcomers — running back Kevorian Barnes (#2) and wide receiver Jordan Dwyer (#7) — exclaimed their presence with 113 rushing yards and 136 receiving
yards, respectively, and a touchdown each. Dwyer was Hoover’s favorite target early and often. Eric McAlister (#1) drew full-time attention from the Heels’ best cornerback, leaving Dwyer open throughout the evening while he accumulated nine receptions.
Barnes, a transfer from UTSA, excites me (in a completely platonic way). His majestic dreadlocks taunted defenders as he powered past them with speed and explosiveness all evening. In what looks like a stacked backfield right now, Barnes seems to have the greatest game-breaking potential from a traditional running back sense and pass blocks like a jack-in-the-box with Oppositional Defiant Disorder.
Enough good news and praise, because despite two feel-good weeks against UNC and Abilene Christian, whom the Frogs beat 42-21 on Saturday, it’s time for the first real test of the season. The game against SMU has surely been circled since TCU’s 66-42 loss last season during one of the sloppiest games I’ve witnessed from the Frogs since I started following the Iron Skillet series in the mid 1990s.
This game might determine which school retains the humble but iconic trophy for the rivalry’s longest-ever layoff.
Since the teams started clashing in 1915, they’ve never taken more than two years off at a time without meeting (1919-20 and the 1987-88 death penalty years). Other than those, there are only a smattering of odd seasons where the two cross-city rivals didn’t brave the gridiron so fans could razz about whose trust fund was bigger.
Like our Frogs, we don’t have much concrete information about how good the Mustangs are this season. The Horsies surrendered more than 600 yards in an overtime loss to Baylor, but otherwise they’ve paid two opponents and logged two completely unremarkable victories. What should give every fanatic pause is what we’ve seen from Andy Avalos’ defense thus far, which can only be described — and charitably — as mixed.
The Tar Heels were locked down outside of their opening drive, and the Frogs frustrated
starting quarterback Gio Lopez until he was benched in favor of Max Johnson, son of Super Bowl-winning quarterback Brad Johnson. Max, a true pocket passer, showed poise and precision as he exposed an unprepared secondary for UNC’s second score of the game, granted it was far out of reach at that point.
ACU was held scoreless in the first half, thanks in part to the Wildcats’ kicking woes as they missed two field goals and trailed 28-0 at halftime. Veteran quarterback Stone Earle found his swagger in the second half and helped his offense rebound for 21 points and nearly 300 yards through the air. Saturday was never in question, but Earle clearly carved a Frog defense that — at least when in zone coverage — is anything but lockdown against competent passers. That should scare Frog faithful when SMU visits on Saturday morning.
If that Baylor-SMU game was any indication, we’re probably in for another shootout. SMU quarterback Kevin Jennings (#7) tossed for more than 3,000 yards during their playoff-appearance run last season, has already thrown for more than 800 this season, and is a rushing threat as well. The Frogs did cough up the ball five times in last year’s meeting (three fumbles and two interceptions), four of which Hoover was directly responsible for. Hopefully, the maturity and confidence from Hoover continues, and a clean game from the Frogs results.
Avalos’ defense showed themselves to be a mostly capable unit against UNC but less so against Abilene Christian, though in a film sense they’re not rewarded for revealing clever coverages or tricky stunts against a team they overmatched in a game that was decided early. Historically, TCU rebounds well after losing to that team in Dallas, having not lost in consecutive seasons since 19921993. (TCU lost in 2019 and 2021, but the 2020 game was canceled.)
Dykes is undoubtedly ready to retrieve the trophy he’d possessed up until last season, winning it first with the Mustangs in 2019, then usurping it during his first season with TCU. The Frogs still hold a 10-victory lead over the Ponies in the all-time series, but Saturday morning’s game might prove the most significant in the modern era. Both teams are back in power conferences (though different ones), and each can boast a somewhat recent playoff appearance. Moreover, whoever steals the skillet is able to put a big fat TBD on when they’ll be challenged for it again, as it will surely be the series’ longest-ever layoff. “To be determined” is a long time when you’re thinking about when fans might have a chance to reclaim bragging rights, and I’m sure we’d all sleep soundly each night on puffy pillows of money and hubris. l

Keep Fort Worth Beautiful (KFWB) is hosting its Neighborhood Litter Stomp on Saturday, Oct. 11, 2025. Neighborhood Litter Stomp is KFWB’s second largest annual litter cleanup and beautification event of the year. In 2024, Litter Stomp volunteers removed over 31,300 pounds of litter from our city! This year our goal is to recruit 2,000
volunteers and work together to remove 40,000 pounds of litter.
Register early and get a FREE T-SHIRT!
Help us reach our goal of 2,000 volunteers! Registration is now open, and all volunteers will be provided litter cleanup supplies, including trash bags and gloves. The first 1,000 volunteers to register will receive a free, event t-shirt. Sign up as an individual or a group at one of our pre-selected cleanup
hubs, or choose a public area of your own. Visit the Neighborhood Litter Stomp website www. fortworthtexas.gov/litterstomp to register.
Tire Collection!
As part of this year’s Litter Stomp event, Environmental Services Department will also be accepting scrap tires, to further its efforts to combat illegal dumping. Residents can bring their old and used tires to the East Regional Public Library on Oct. 11 from 8 am until 11 am. Rims are accepted but must be removed from the tire. Commercial tires will not be accepted. Volunteers that remove scrap tires during the litter cleanup can work with KFWB for collection.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY
EMMY SMITH
When it comes to global food trends, Fort Worth has always lagged behind its big brother to the east, and even Arlington and the Mid-Cities have garnered reputations as ethnic food destinations while us Fort Worthians languish in a sea of barbecue restaurants and burger joints. It took forever for the Fort to get a decent ramen restaurant, for example. So, when I got word we were finally
getting a Korean hot pot restaurant within city limits, I counted down the days when I could finally dive into a huge bowl of simmering, spicy broth without braving highway traffic.
Fire Pot opened several weeks ago in
southwest Fort Worth, in the sprawling shopping center between Hulen and Bryant Irvin that seems to house every home goods and department store imaginable. There was a short waitlist on the Friday evening my husband and I visited, with
people milling around a fairly large waiting area or visiting the “game room” — basically, a huge wall of claw machines. (Bring cash.) Several massive TVs in the dining area played college football on silent, while K-Pop played unobtrusively in the background.
For Korean food novices, it may take some time to get your bearings. Thankfully, the attentive waitstaff are happy to give newbies the rundown: Each white granite dining table is equipped with at least four heating elements where your chosen broth will sit and bubble.
continued on page 19
Beginning Sunday September 28, we’re adjusting the schedules of some Trinity Metro Bus routes to make our system more e cient. Plan ahead and check your route now to see if your schedule is changing at RIDETRINITYMETRO.org/SERVICECHANGES.
Controls underneath the table allow diners to raise and lower the heat of the broth throughout the meal. This turned out to be an important thing to master. You don’t want your broth so hot that it obliterates the tender meat or cooks an egg yolk before it can emulsify into the broth. Frequent modification of the temperature was key.
The menu is broken down into appetizers, proteins, vegetables, and mushrooms, all of which are included in the all-you-can-eat price of $31.99 for dinner ($21.99 for weekday lunch). Most of the items are meant to be cooked in the hot pot, but having larger appetizers like chicken wings, gyoza, and several sushi options included in the set price is a nice perk if you’re really looking to stuff yourselves.
Our friendly server, Christian, took our order — initially, the flavor of broth we each wanted and our protein and veggie selections. Throughout the meal he would frequently appear to inquire about refills, but after delivering our broth he never brought us more food. Instead, it usually arrived on a miniature train car that snaked around the dining room, alerting us with a friendly voice when it was time to remove our items. A gimmick, to be sure, but one that never really lost the novelty throughout the meal.
Once, distracted by the train car, we were surprised to look over and see a 4-foot-tall robot waiter with cat ears patiently waiting for us to retrieve our meat and veggies from its tray. A third
food-delivering mechanism, a refrigerated conveyor belt under the train track, carried ad hoc items, like raw eggs, fish and squid balls, and sausages. All of this lent a whimsical, Epcot Center vibe to the meal that’s not replicated anywhere in town. Plus, the menu is accessible enough that this would be a great way to introduce younger kids to the vibrant flavors of Korean food. To be honest, we were having just as much fun as the nearby children.
After taking a look at the sushi counter and
not feeling brave enough (how often do they replenish it?), we opted to skip appetizers and go straight for the hot pot, along with a large order each of cold sake. Drink options are limited, with a few beer and wine selections and sake, and there is no bar.
We had six hot pot broth bases to choose from: house spicy, miso, tonkotsu (think ramen broth), Tom Yum, mushroom, original chicken (which has a touch of coconut), and tomato. My husband went for the Korean spicy while I opted for the more pedestrian mushroom. A handy sauce bar over near the sushi allows diners to customize their broths even further, and I was able to spice mine up to my liking by adding chile oil and kimchi throughout the meal, washing it all down with the refreshing sake.
Traditional hot pot is a communal affair, with families gathered around a single large pot of broth in the center of a table. But as Christian highlighted at the top of our meal, Fire Pot’s personal pot experience means not having to compromise. My husband was able to enjoy his extra spicy pot with ramen noodles, beef tripe, and whatever other weird stuff he wanted, while I sat opposite him with my less-spicy, umami-bomb broth simmering with rice cakes, beef ribeye, pork belly, and broccoli. We sank into a rhythm of filling the provided ladle with raw meat and veg, dipping the ladle into the hot broth until everything was cooked nicely, then serving it into our bowls over rice and noodles as the train/robot/conveyor belt
A refrigerated conveyor belt brings a few surprising delights to adventurous eaters — including raw oysters.
combo quietly replenished our orders. It was easy to lose track of time — or how much we’d eaten.
The set price also includes dessert, which consisted of a selection of single-serve cakes perched above the sushi counter. Once we’d had our fill of soup, my husband seemed to enjoy his vanilla sponge filled with cream, while I polished off my generous portion of sake.
Fire Pot also offers the similarly DIY experience of Korean barbecue. Half of the tables are equipped with a barbecue grill in the center along with the heating elements. The barbecue section of the menu lists numerous grilling options, from beef and chicken bulgogi to lamb and calamari.
A new law protects Texas shrimpers and ensures consumers know what’s local. Here’s where and how to look.
Given our inland location, it’s clear that our shrimp in North Texas comes from elsewhere. With the recent news of radioactive shrimp at one big box retailer on everyone’s minds, sourcing is more important than ever. The Texas Department of Agriculture says one way to know what you’re getting is to “look for clues.” By that, they mean the icons Go Texan, Texas Gulf Seafood, and Wild Caught Texas Shrimp Senate Bill 823, which took effect on September 1, introduced new protections for consumers and marks a significant victory for Texas’ shrimping and aquaculture industries. The bill requires informing consumers if the shrimp sold in the state are imported from outside Texas. If shrimp is imported, then distributors, food
suppliers, and restaurants must clearly disclose that fact, and the imported shrimp cannot be passed off as “American,” “Domestic,” “Gulf,” or “Texas” shrimp. State and local health authorities will have the power to enforce these rules, with penalties for violators
“Shady labeling is over,” said Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller. “If someone wants to call it ‘Texas shrimp,’ it better be Texas shrimp, not an imported product often raised in poor conditions.”
This change in labeling is an opportunity to support local producers. Miller suggests seeking out Go Texan partners that proudly carry the mark of Texas authenticity at WildCaughtTXShrimp.com.
“When you see that logo,” Miller said, “you know you’re supporting Texas jobs, Texas families, and the Texas economy.”
When it’s time to water, think 1, 2…zero. Once a week if you need a little water, twice a week if it’s hot and dry and zero if it’s been raining. We can send you weekly watering advice to tell you exactly how much water your lawn needs. Sign up for free at Water is Awesome.com.
Get your shrimp on at Atkins before or after visiting Scarborough’s Hollow in Waxahachie.
Through the Eat Local drop-down menu at WildCaughtTXShrimp.com, I quickly figured out that Central Market, including our locations in Fort Worth and Southlake, is the go-to for buying raw Texas shrimp to cook at home. As for restaurants, North Texas offers five great options. Fort Worth spots Bonnell’s Fine Texas Cuisine (4259 Bryant Irvin Rd, 817-738-5489) and J&J Oyster Bar (612 University Dr, 817-367-9792) both use authentic Texas shrimp. The next time you’re at “JJ’s,” try Jim’s Cold Catch, a new appetizer item with oysters, peel-and-eat shrimp, and a cup of shrimp cocktail.
There are only three other North Texas restaurants on the list: Arthur’s Prime Steaks & Seafood (15175 Quorum Dr, Addison, 972-3850800), Café Pacific (24 Highland Park Village, Dallas, 214-526-1170), and Sea Breeze Fish
Market & Grill (4017 Preston Rd, Ste 530, Plano, 972-473-2722). However, if you factor in road trips and how often we venture out of the Fort, there are great choices south of here, too.
As it is also time to compile our monthly Crosstown Sounds feature, which lists local bands and their whereabouts, I posed an additional question when emailing artists about their upcoming gigs: Are you playing in Austin anytime soon? The answer was a resounding yes from several local musicians.
Punks Toxic Madness are doing a small Texas run in November. Should you road-trip it down to their show at Noiseland Rehearsal (2439 E State Hwy 71 Service Rd, Del Valle, 512-806-5392) on Fri, Nov 14, you can do a Texas (shrimp) run of your own. Perla’s Seafood & Oyster Bar (1400 S Congress Av, Austin, 512-291-7300) is just 13 minutes away from Noiseland.

When buying or eating shrimp, look for clues. These icons represent Texas wild-caught shrimp.

Along with being one of the openers for Shane Smith & The Saints at Western Days in Old Town Lewisville (150 W Church St, 972-219-3401) on Sat, Sep 27, local country favorite Summer Dean has two upcoming stops in Austin. She will be at The White Horse (500 Comal St, 512-553-6756) on Fri, Oct 24, and Sagebrush (5500 S Congress Av, @SageBrushTexas) on Fri, Nov 14. Both are 10 minutes from Perla’s.
Plus, eight other places are serving wildcaught Texas shrimp in the capital, including the six locations of the Jack Allen’s Kitchen regional chain (JackAllensKitchen.net), plus Salt Traders (1101 S Mopac Exp, 737-484-0095) and Truluck’s (300 Colorado St, 512-482-9000).
Along with being one of the openers for Shane Smith & The Saints at Western Days in Old Town Lewisville, local country favorite Summer Dean has two upcoming stops in Austin.
As you head even further south, you’ll find Sea Island Shrimp House (154 Creekside Xing, New Braunfels, 830-387-4809) and one of the best music venues in the region, Gruene Hall (1281 Gruene Rd, New Braunfels, 830-606-1281). Do you have your Halloween plans for 2025 set yet?
On Oct 31, the Tejas Brothers are playing a Dia de Los Muertos show there with their good friends the Squeezebox Bandits.
Another Halloween season idea is visiting the new Scarborough’s Hollow (formerly Screams), an interactive fantasy park located on the grounds of Scarborough Renaissance Festival, off I-35 at FM 66 in Waxahachie. It’s open from 2pm to 10pm on Saturdays from Oct 11 to Nov 15 (plus Halloween night from 5pm to midnight). Before or after, get your shrimp on at Atkins Seafood (400 W Main St, 214-463-5490), where the slogan is, “If they were any fresher, they’d still be swimmin’!” No wonder they made the list.

Tulips FTW will be the site of some triptastic zounds this weekend.
PHOTOS AND STORY BY JUAN R. GOVEA
Mean Motor Scooter, Driving Slow Motion, Red Admirals, Curatorial, Dead Mountain Talk, and Flow State are a few of the North Texas acts at this year’s Psychedelic Panther at Tulips FTW this weekend.
The fest will include art vendors and a psychedelic lightshow along with five other groups from out of town. For its third year, Joe Guzman is once again the mastermind behind the event. He’s excited for the show that he considers Fort Worth’s first themed festival of its kind, comparable to other Texas events like Levitation and Austin Psyche Fest.
“My original intention was to highlight DFW’s creativity with alternative genres of music and art,” Guzman said, “to create a presentation that felt unique both sonically and visually.”
Some of the musical artists, he said, are acquaintances he’s stayed in touch with over the years. Others have come by way of personal
hoping
recommendations from close friends and colleagues. Guzman said he planned and arranged the fest in about three months, which is not very much time for an event of this size.
“In all honesty,” he said, “it was quite stressful. I’d love to take the better part of an entire year and plan the next one with the help of shareholders or business partners who can help it evolve into something even greater.”
The festival wouldn’t have been made possible without Dallas’ James Benjamin Maker, the projection artist.
“I feel this event is 50% visual aesthetic,” Guzman said. “It’s meant to be enjoyed with the eyes and ears alike.”
One installation not to miss is the event’s large panther in honor of “Panther City.” There also will be live painting, food, and, perhaps most importantly, fellowship.
Jeff Zero, Scott Leard, Robert Nelson, and Trippy Daddy Shop are this year’s vendors selling paintings, shirts, buttons, and glass art, and Tulips will take care of the food.
“It’s been a scramble this year for everyone, but we are ready to make it as good as any year,” Guzman said. “A lot of bands have gotten new material, and some have reunited with renewed enthusiasm for this endeavor.”
The emphasis is on psychedelic music, which seems to be in short supply in Fort Worth.
“Some of my favorite Fort Worth psych artists such as The Cush, The Fibs, Animal Spirit, Retrograde Motion, and other gone
but-not-forgotten bands still burn in the memory of an entire generation of showgoers that are now staying at home raising families,” Guzman said.
“I am hoping Psychedelic Panther will serve as a rekindling in the creative spirit of the new generation. I hope that they may continue making music that’s out of the box and that platforms such as this festival serve to break the stereotypes of what Fort Worth music has to offer.” l

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19)
VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22)
A supple clarity is crystallizing within you. Congratulations! It’s not a brittle or rigid certainty, but a knack for limber discernment. I predict you will have an extra potent gift for knowing what truly matters, even amidst chaos or complication. As this superpower reaches full ripeness, you can aid the process by clearing out clutter and refining your foundational values. Make these words your magic spells: quintessence, core, crux, gist, lifeblood, root. PS: Be alert for divine messages in seemingly mundane circumstances.
LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 22)
Will you work to bring more justice and fairness into the situations you engage with? I imagine you speaking complex and rugged truths with warmth and charm. I see you summoning a generous flair as you help people climb up out of their sadness and suffering. If all goes well, you will magnetize others to participate in shared visions of delight and dignity.
TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20)
Born under the sign of Taurus, Maya Deren first expressed her extravagant creative urges as a writer, poet, photographer, clothes designer, and dancer. But then she made a radical change, embarking on a new path as experimental filmmaker. She said she had “finally found a glove that fits.” Her movies were highly influential among the avant-garde in the 1940s and 1950s. I bring Deren to your attention, Taurus, because I suspect that in the coming months, you, too, will find a glove that fits. And it all starts soon.
GEMINI (May 21-Jun 20)
You’re extra well-suited to navigate liminal zones and transitional states. You may be the only person in your circle who can navigate paradox and speak in riddles and still make sense. It’s not just cleverness. It’s wisdom wrapped in whimsy. So please offer your in-between insights freely. PS: You have another superpower, too: You can activate dormant understandings in both other people’s hearts and your own.
CANCERIAN (Jun 21-Jul 22)
In the western Pacific Ocean, there’s a species of octopus that builds its lair from coconut shells. The creature gathers together husks, dragging them across the seafloor, and fits them together. According to scientists, this use of tools by an invertebrate is unique. Let’s make the coconut octopus your power creature for now, Cancerian. You will have extra power to forge a new sanctuary or renovate an existing one, either metaphorically or literally. You will be wise to draw on what’s nearby and readily available, maybe even using unusual or unexpected building materials.
LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22)
Bridges are forming between once-disconnected parts of your psyche and life. You may not need to do much except consent to the slow emergence of these new semi-amazing expressions of integrity. Be patient and take notes. Intuitions arriving soon may be blueprints for future greatness. Here’s the kicker: You’re not just building for yourself. You’re working on behalf of your soul-kin, too.
The ancient Mesopotamian goddess Inanna was called “the Queen of Heaven.” Her domains were politics, divine law, love, and fertility. She was a powerhouse. One chapter of her mythic story tells of her descent into the underworld. She was stripped of everything—clothes, titles, weapons— before she could be reborn. Why did she do it?
Scholars say she was on a quest for greater knowledge and an expansion of her authority. And she was successful! I propose we make her your guide and companion in the coming weeks, Libra. You are at the tail-end of your own descent. The stripping is almost complete. Soon you will feel the first tremors of return—not loud, not triumphant, but sure. I have faith that your adventures will make you stronger and wiser, as Inanna’s did for her.
SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21)
A modest curiosity could lead to a major breakthrough. A passing fancy might ripen into a rich blessing. Seemingly nondescript encounters may evolve into precious connections.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21)
I suspect that life is offering you subtle yet radiant cues leading you to sources you will be glad to connect with. To be fully alert for them, you may need to shift and expand the ways you use your five senses. The universe is in a sense flirting with you, sending you clues through dream-logic and nonrational phenomena. Follow the shimmering glimmers.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19)
At the height of her powers, Egyptian pharaoh Hatshepsut declared, “I have restored what had been ruined. I have raised up what had dissolved.” You now have a similar gift at your disposal, Capricorn. If you harness it, you will gain an enhanced capacity to unify what has been scattered, to reforge what was broken, and to resurrect neglected dreams. To fulfill this potential, you must believe in your own sovereignty—not as a form of domination, but of devotion. Start with your own world. Make beauty where there was noise. Evoke dignity where there was confusion.
AQUARIUS (Jan 20- Feb 18)
In the high Himalayas, there’s a flower called Saussurea obvallata—the Brahma Kamal. It blooms only at night and for a short time, releasing a scent that legend says can heal grief. This will be your flower of power for the coming weeks, Aquarius. It signifies that a rare and time-sensitive gift will be available, and that you must be alert to gather it in.
PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20)
The human heart beats 100,000 times per day, 35 million times per year, and 2.5 billion times in an average lifetime. It’s the most reliable “machine” ever created, working continuously and mostly without special maintenance for decades. Although you Pisceans aren’t renowned for your stability and
steadiness, I predict that in the coming weeks, you will be as staunch, constant, and secure as a human heart. What do you plan to do with this grace period? What marvels can you accomplish?
