Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
It was with great sadness that I read about our friend Dan Gibson retiring from Idolator this afternoon. Now, sure, as a local guy, Dan's been one of our harshest critics (fer realz) but it was always nice to know he was out there, calling us out and keeping us honest. We'll miss that... Luckily, I'm now his facebook friend, so I can still solicit nasty comments from him whenever I'm feeling too good about myself.
Also: If you haven't already seen The Republic's story about the new BBWs/admirers night at Club Vibe, called Club Bounce, you should check it out. I'm not sure I've ever been asked to read between the lines so many times in a single story.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, 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 Phoenix with no paywalls.
