little rock

seems change ain't unique to the fort. just saw online that the white water tavern in little rock, where i do believe the nathan brown vids below were shot, is undergoing a change in mgt. the tavern, open since 1972, had a pert happenin' little scene goin' on when i played there with nathan at the ass-end of 2003 -- as many ppl there on a tuesday night as you'd see at the wreck on a typical saturday. apparently the j'int is being taken over by a consortium of passionate 20somethings with some capital. heartening to see such a level of commitment to maintaining a scene. much of the heavy lifting to build said scene was done by one t.j. deeter, cat who also founded and publishes little rock arts rag the localist, which was a cut-and-paste, print-only 'zine three yrs ago but has since developed a pretty, um, _robust_ web presence -- one of the most sensibly-organized and easily-navigable i've seen, comparable to a new times product -- while maintaining a participant/supportive perspective. makes little rock look like a pretty cool place. nice to see ppl doin' it right.
