I'm South Asian, when events come from South Asia with some of their celebrities even though they come to Houston too, they go to Dallas first. The smaller celebrities normally just go to Dallas and that's it.
Probably because Dallas has more South Asians than Houston (I think). I know they have more Indians by a few thousand.

Yeah, they do have more Indians... but then again, that shouldn't really be a good thing.
(As you can tell, I really don't like my kind of people...)

The planning procees for the superbowl and the way they are preparing for it lets us all know that the superbowl in DFW will be waaaay better than the one in Houston in 2004. Its possible for it to be the best one ever...I know it wll be the biggest one!!

Yeah that's how Dallas always does. It lets its big brother do everything first and then sits back and takes notes on how to out do it. Dallas has no originality of its own.

But your NBA allstar game rating? Not exactly a hit enough to brag about.

We finally agree on something!!!!!....Dallas does sit back and wait till everybody do one thing....we tak notes....and blow everybody out the water. As far as the all-star game in Dallas...yeah it coulda been a wol lot better but due to the weather it was a bit sluggish. But sat and Sun nights kinda picked up..but it wasnt the best...I agree.

oh and the originality comment made no sense to me. Every city should want to do it better than the last.

That's why its called throwing jabs. Your comment about Dallas's All Star Game doing a better job than Houston didn't make sense either. It was all opinionated. Just like my saying Dallas has no originality was my opinion. It wasn't the first to build a domed stadium, it wasn't the first to do the retractable roof thing. Houston started that, all cities cities followed. Dallas built theirs about 7 years after Houston and it ended up having a much better design. It had to eventually outdo it. Making sense now?
