Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Seems like now's as good a time as any to introduce our new music blog, DC9 at Night -- so named, yes, for that Flatlanders song about how Dallas is a rich man with a death wish in his eye and so forth. And if you'll notice, our top item is a breaking news short about how a fire's broken out at the Austin City Limits Music Festival -- an actual fire, not an Arcade Fire or a Theater Fire, but an honest-to-God propane-tank fire near the outdoor shitters. Which sounds awesome. --Robert Wilonsky
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.
