Lift off

Is that a John Middleton seen out after 10 pm?

Relaunch achieved

The dance floor stayed full until they turned the lights up at Bedlam Lowertown on Saturday thanks to Hipshaker and Annie and the Bang Bang. Earlier in the evening lots of artists who want to see each other more mingled and talked.

Thank you's

Thank you to those who came, and those we wished us well from afar. Thanking other people who made the website relaunch possible during the party would have just embarrassed them, but we want to do it here. (More pictures from the party below.

More Thank You's

We never would have made it 6 years without the authors who have contributed content. You can meet them all here and review some of their wonderful articles. And here is the list of guest editors starting with our first long-term editor Levi Weinhagen and our last one Ira Brooker--both of whom kept the website vibrant for approximately a year and a half each. Also thank you to Anna Sundberg, Kelsye Gould, Max Sparber, Camille LeFevre, and John Middleton for their help with the site over the years.
