It's a Fine Line...Well, Was, Actually

Our old pal Cindy Chaffin, founder of TexasGigs.com and recently the master of The Fine Line, is calling it quits for a few reasons. Seems she's burned out (which has never stopped us). Seems she figures there are enough local-music blogs to go around. Seems she might be leaving Dallas...

Our old pal Cindy Chaffin, founder of TexasGigs.com and recently the master of The Fine Line, is calling it quits for a few reasons. Seems she's burned out (which has never stopped us). Seems she figures there are enough local-music blogs to go around. Seems she might be leaving Dallas due to some unexpected family issues that have cropped up. Like I said, plenty of reasons to go 'round.

Hate to see Cindy and The Fine Line go; she's good people, people. Still, she writes: "Don't delete the link just yet. Since I may be traveling back and forth on I-35 most weekends, I may detail my adventures, record live shows from the road. I'm also seriously contemplating covering a genre of music that is not getting a lot of blog attention, much less an audio/video presence. I'll letcha know. Plus, I'll have full SXSW coverage on March." So consider this a temporary hiatus. And who doesn't need one of those every now and then. --Robert Wilonsky
