Your friendly content provider very much hopes to see you this Saturday, Oct. 4th at a brand new "episode" of The Uncle Barky Show, with Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban in the house. (See the above, ever-present banner ad).
Show time is 4 p.m., admission is free, and first-rate food and drink are available for purchase before, during and after the show.
Cuban will be the seventh in a series of local media guests. As always, our host, Stratos Global Greek Greek Taverna (2907 West Northwest Highway), will make a very generous donation to the guest's designated charity.
The beneficiary for this event is the Dallas Mavericks Foundation, whose mission is to "assist young people through programs stressing education, good health and skills necessary for their future success." The $1,000 donation will make a grand total of $5,500 to date. That's the best part of this by far.
Stratos has been the venue for all previous Uncle Barky shows, beginning with last December's kickoff featuring mondo "Ticket" radio personality Gordon Keith.
As with our previous six shows, we'll leave ample time for audience questions. Most of mine will be on Cuban's various on-and off-camera TV adventures. They range from competing on Dancing with the Stars to the controversial hiring of Dan Rather as a prominent player on Cuban's high-definition cable network, HDNet.
Also, many thanks to all who have kindly inquired about my recent and persistent health problems. They've pretty much knocked unclebarky.com out of commission for the past two weeks, keeping new postings at a bare minimum. But things at last seem to be getting better, so Saturday's show will go on.
I hope you'll be part of it.
