Sometimes you just want to get away…but not enough to actually leave. Traveling is
expensive and you have to deal with buying gas or paying health insurance or accidentally being impregnated by your friendly TSA agents during a “random” search. So your pals over at the BW wanted you to know that you can get away from it all without ever having to leave the Metroplex. It doesn’t matter what prompts the trip, DFW has it all. Don’t believe us? See for yourself.

and having a human Shamu sitting next to you and taking your armrest just isn’t
cutting it any more
iPic Theater in Fairview
Now this is how you’re supposed to watch a movie! iPic is the ultimate movie escape. It may cost a little more than your average theater, but it’s worth it.

Exactly. iPic takes away the need to spring to the concession stand like you are running the 100-meter dash to ensure you get a good seat and there’s wine, champagne, Coronas, and Samuel
Adams at the friggin’ movies! Now if they could just figure out a way to execute people who text during movies.
