Admission is free.</p> <p>Haven't decided which way to go as of yet. Should I adapt to the hour or go for a lifetime ban from all public events? Take a look at the <a href="http://www.turetzkysyndrome.com/images/deafmap2009.gif" title="Deep Ellum Arts Festival map" />Deep Ellum Arts Festival map</a>, then find me on Main Street, between Crowdus Street and Malcolm X Boulevard.</p> <p>The festival will run from Friday, April 3, through Sunday, April 5, featuring more than 75 bands and 100 artists.
