apparently, I’m no Dallasite

The May issue of D Magazine lists “52 Things Every Dallasite Must Do.”

UPDATE: They’ve just posted the full list online, but I’ll give you the abbreviated rundown here.

Sadly, though, I can only say I’ve done — geez — FOUR of the 52. That’s appalling. Here I was thinking I was doing a pretty good job of getting around, but apparently not…

How many can you claim? (UPDATE: Check Curtis’s list, Rachelle’s list, and Matt’s list!)
