All it takes is the promise of free food — quality Sardinian and Italian treats, no less — to get a good-size crowd of media types to descend on an establishment. And so it was at Arcodoro/Pomodoro for the Dallas all-media happy hour. Many familiar faces were there, including folks from D Magazine and the Dallas Morning News, but we were happy to recruit some new people, too, including the affable Donovan Lewis from 93.3 FM The Bone and Casa Manana PR guru Kristin Campbell, who drove all the way in from Fort Worth for the fun.
