Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
...and Rich Lopez and I will be in attendance at Lift Lounge helping a panel of judges choose the best of the five competing local DJs. The winner of this little competition will be repping Dallas at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami on March 28. We here at the paper are apparently sponsoring this deal, which starts at 10. Stop by and say hi. Should be a good time. Rich and I will be the high-and-mighty, egotistical ones standing with arms crossed near the back of the room. -- Pete Freedman
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
