Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
If yer still around and so interested, I'll be on KTCK-AM (1310, The Ticket) 'round 6:30ish this evening to discuss the AFI Dallas fest with "The Hardline." Only two weeks after the fest started and three days after it ended, but, hey, content over clock, dig? Besides, joining us will be producer Jeffrey Brown, whose AFI entry, Shut Up and Shoot Me, was the Narrative Feature Competition-winner -- and the recipient of $25,000 in cash courtesy Target, which asks only that you spend the loot on toilet paper and Softsoap.
Brown, it turns out, is a Czech Republic resident who used to reside in Arlington, and his best friend since kiddiehood is none other than Hardliner Corby Davidson. If nothing else, this also gives us the excuse to link to these pics of film fest juror C. Thomas Howell, who likes to talk about C. Thomas Howell. Just ask Jeffrey Brown. OK, fine, I'll ask him. --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.
