The Internet Thinks Your Scene Sucks
Friday, March 13, at the Denton Civic Center (estimated start time: 4 p.m.)

With new media comes fewer barriers to entry--and that simple fact changes everything. That simple fact also happens to be olllld news, but hyper-local, artistic interests are still struggling to make sense of it. How is a geographically limited music and arts scene supposed to thrive amidst the growing glut of global content aggregation? And what does this have to do with newspapers and magazines dying left and right? Former Dallas Observer music editor Sam Machkovech has thoughts on the important relationship between local media and local artists, and how to make the most of that relationship to survive the Internet's heartless, ever-expanding belly. With him will be current Quick music editor Hunter Hauk to (hopefully) disagree with everything Sam says.

See y'all in a week.
