Check out beautiful photos Alex took of a monstrous sculpture in Oak Cliff -- built in memory of Sept. 11.
i don't understand building a 9/11 monument outside of New York, Washington and that one field.

Plano Centre shutting down teen concerts, final one on July 12
dude, i work with teens, daily. i understand your point, but the dynamic has changed. kids are usually much more passionate about music than adults, but that passion isn't being directed to the local scene anymore. adults don't buy albums anymore, they illegally download them. children do however, but they aren't buying music from local bands, because they don't really care about them, they view local bands as something that gives them fashion ideas

I am actually glad to see these shows go. Since Mike Zeimer got involved with the local music scene it has gone downhill. His involvement with Buzz-Oven led to its demise. Marketing the shows as " Come out and be Seen, if you aren't there you aren't cool" may be great for attendance, but in my opinion does nothing for the bands or their music.
