Periodically, Dallas Art News is going to post what we consider to be a bad idea. By bad idea, we really mean a good idea. No, a great idea.

Dallas Art News does not encourage anyone to carry out any of our bad ideas or the related comments and discussions. You should not do anything that is illegal or harmful to yourself, other persons, businesses or property. Just say no.
