UPDATE: Due to crazy Dallas weather two of these events have been rescheduled.
Last night a few of us had the pleasure of attending a blogger event at Cru Wine bar in Dallas. That was actually my first time there and I loved the feel of the cute little place in West Village. There are so many fun and festive events happening all over Dallas in the next few days that we thought they deserved their own post. Did you see the Mockingbird Station and Galleria Dallas social calendar posts?
Thursday, December 5th: Uber & Home Depot Deliver On-Demand Christmas Trees
Instead of spending your weekend wrestling with a tree from the not-so-near farm or slushy street corner, kick back, pour yourself an extra glass of eggnog and watch your app as Uber takes care of the heavy lifting. With the help of The Home Depot and a bit of holiday magic, Uber will deliver a live tree to your doorstep with the touch of a button. More details: http://blog.uber.com/UberTREE
