Summer lifestyle events in Dallas — is the scene dead when it's 105 degrees?

The Dallas scene definitely doesn't die in summer — it just moves indoors and to pools. The clubs (Colette, Eden, Velvet Curtain) are all fully air-conditioned and actually get busier in summer because people want to go out in the evening when it finally cools down a bit. The real summer gold is private pool parties. A ton of couples in the suburbs have pools, and the house party scene picks up dramatically from May through September. Some of the best nights we've had have been summer pool parties in Frisco and Southlake. Also, the big hotel takeover events tend to cluster in spring and fall, so there's a slight dip in large-scale events, but the weekly club scene stays strong.
