Five Sixty is a restaurant just below the observation deck of Reunion Tower in the 56th floor. It spins 360 degrees in 60 minutes. The Lounge at Five Sixty has great happy hour prices on the famous Wolfgang Puck food as well as beverages. This intimate bar limits group sizes so there were just 12 of us watching the sunset and downtown Dallas light up. We had the best time! With only 12 people we could easily chat as a group and get to know people better. We shared dishes and stories. A couple people were Dallas lifers that know what some of the older buildings used to be. It was really interesting to learn some history about Dallas when we just thought we’d have an amazing view. Great night! Events And Adventures Dallas
Remember dodge ball from when you were a kid? Put that on a trampoline and you have a hilarious night. I’m glad we rotate games because that’s hard work. The breaks also lets us chat and get to know each other more. I really like that everyone plays for fun. No one is out there trying to kill anyone which makes it more fun for those of us no longer in top physical condition. Sure, I can hold my own, but I forgot how hard it is to walk on a trampoline much less coordinate throwing or catching a ball while jumping. Of course we were laughing so hard it was hard to do it all at once. We had such a great time. After we played most of us went to a restaurant down the street to refuel. We got more time to visit. I like how the table of 18 would talk as a group and we’d have smaller conversations around the table too. It felt very inclusive. A great night once again! Events And Adventures Dallas
New Years Eve was SUCH a great time! As we walked in the 3 tiered ballroom there was a DJ playing great music and a nice cheese and light appetizer spread. I got to see friends I hadn’t seen in months as well as meet all sorts of new people. Most had masks and it was fun figuring out who everyone was. About 45 minutes after we arrived the dinner stations were opened. There were a bunch of Italian options, a slider station, a martini mashed potato bar, salads, it seemed I could eat for days- wait! Awesome dance tune- we girls squealed, yanked and the guys closest to us and ran to the dance floor. Many of the guys joined us and we danced a while. We went back to our plates, ate a little more and headed back out to the dance floor. GREAT tunes. That DJ played anything we asked for! Later in the evening they brought out a chocolate fondue with all the goodies. The photo booth had an impressive amount of glasses, hats & toys for out photos. Just before Midnight the wait staff brought champagne out to the dance floor for us, we grabbed our noise makers and toasted the New Year. Fantastic party! I can hardly wait to see what cool events E&A brings to 2014! Events And Adventures Dallas
Have you done anything noteworthy or mentionable?That is the question that plagues Walter Mitty in the movie “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.” First published in 1939 by James Thurber, Walter Mitty is a mild man with a vivid fantasy life. In his fantastic daydreams, he is the heroic, adventurous, romantic man he longs to be and personally triumphs. In Ben Stiller’s remake of the 1947 classic, Walter Mitty is trapped behind a desk where his biggest real-life adventure is trying to fill out an online dating profile. When asked what he has done that is noteworthy or mentionable, he has no answer.

I'm so excited for the New Year's Masquerade! We've had masquerades in the past and its so much fun seeing everyone dressed to the nines and figuring our who they are. NYE is our one really big, fancy party. I love seeing which guys have (or rent) tuxedos. The variety of dresses is always exciting. We meet lots of new members and remnisce with friends we've not seen for a while, too.
We eat, we drink, we dance, we laugh, we take silly pictures in the photo booth, and we celebrate the end of a good year and the prospect of another one.
I love that we are a festive group. We caught the Nutty Nutcracker in Fort Worth this weekend. We met at the Cowtown Diner and a had a great, comfort food dinner. It was nice meeting before the ballet so we had time to socialize. We bundled up, dashed over to Bass Hall, had a festive beverage and laughed all evening while the Texas Ballet spoofed The Nutcracker and current events. The ballet was outstanding and they mixed in great music. When the troupe started Thriller as the finale we jumped to our feet and sang at the top of our lungs with the rest of the audience. You can see we all got a little nutty. . . Events And Adventures Dallas
We had a sleigh ride! Betcha didn’t know we could do that here in DFW. Our sleigh is the largest sleigh in the US: 20 people! Instead of dashing through the snow with one horse, our sleigh had wheels under the runners and we had 2 beautiful draft horses- Cagney & Lacey. Santa joined us and rode with us most of the way. It was a great way to see the Holiday lights. The weather was beautiful. It was fun singing along to some of the Christmas carols and telling Santa our outrageous wishes for Christmas. After our ride we grabbed a bite to eat and socialized some more. What an awesome festive night! Events And Adventures Dallas
