Yeah? What should I do there?
Kimbrell and Modern Art museums, botanic gardens (if those kinds of things are interesting to you.) Several parks and gardens, like the water gardens downtown, some wildlife preserves, some lakes...
Stockyard district where you can see a lot of historical buildings related to the cattle industry. There'll be good restaurants, coffee, and bars near there I'm sure. I honestly don't know Fort Worth food and bev that well to recommend much besides what you'll read below
Brewery and winery reccs: Martin House Brewing, Wild Acre Brewing, Cowtown Winery. Restaurant reccs: Joe T Garcia's for fajitas and margaritas, Heim for BBQ.
Overall, I'm pretty unfamiliar with Dallas-Fort Worth in general, but it's commonly held wisdom that Fort Worth is the part of that region with the most character. It's a historic town with a river (Trinity) running through it, so lots of green spaces and more walkable parts compared to Dallas proper. Dallas itself doesn't seem to have much character to it, but then again a lot of people who haven't spent much time in Houston would say the same thing. Probably I'd feel different if I lived there and had my neighborhood spots to recommend. I know Deep Ellum district in Dallas is pretty cool. Old blues history to it, lots of repurposed buildings with trendier spots that bodysnatcher would hate now.

I'm really tempted to suggest you just take a day and take highway 180 a couple of hours or so west of DFW and check out Mineral Wells, Palo Pinto County, Possum Kingdom Lake (like the song).
In your Texas travels, have you spent much time on the roads going through the smaller towns? You'd be in one of the prettiest parts of Texas and you're bound to find some holes in the wall along the way. Ditto for areas west of Austin.

While i didn't explore it much, Round Rock looked like a neat little place. Of course, the trip to Round Rock Donuts helped.

Going to Joshua Tree next week. Have been in contact with resident Robbi Robb (Three Fish) and am hoping to meet up so my youngest son can see him play guitar, but what else should I be doing there? We are then headed to Anaheim for Star Wars land at Disney. I’d like to day trip to Malibu. Any suggestions? Finally, thinking of stopping by Hollywood Forever to pay my respects to Chris and Scott.

I’m no expert but unless you’re in it for the scenic drive, the beach is the beach is the beach and there are other beaches besides Malibu that would be just as good (assuming they are closer and you can get there quicker). What are you looking for specifically in Malibu?

Just never been. Been to Huntington and Santa Monica. Been up to Pismo and down to Imperial. Just a spot we’ve never stopped. This Neptune’s seafood place has me intrigued as well.

Robbi have me a big sweaty hug after a Three Fish show in 96 and I can still remember his exact stench
Hempy? I met him and Jeff hours before a Three Fish show in 99. I took a picture with them and of course it didn’t turn out. Sat front and center at that show. So good.
