In case you’re living under a rock, I need to point you to the relaunch of TexasGigs.com as part of Pegasus News. Why is this important you might ask?
Well, because quite honestly TexasGigs has been the most important band/music site in North Texas for the past 2-3 years, and it was really just a great niche weblog run by one woman: Cindy Chafin.
Cindy’s a smart cookie and when my friend Mike Orren started talking to her about putting TexasGigs on the map by making it part of Pegasus News, well, I guess she just couldn’t resist…
The combination of Cindy + Pegasus now makes TexasGigs a full blown music, media, news, and venue site, all catering to Texas and Texas music (that’s not a genre folks, it’s a way of life) that you can use to find who’s playing tonight, where, when and why you should be there, not just Cindy’s top picks (though those are always worth paying attention to!)
I first ‘met’ Cindy back when she linked to inluminent in 2003, and we exchanged a few emails, remarking how we were both really enjoying learning about website marketing, and the like. I also remember something about her owning a really kick ass looking luxury campground that I still need to check out one weekend.
It’s really really nice to see Mike and the rest of the team at Pegasus News powering TexasGigs.com now… and I just love how easy it is to find what’s happening on New Year’s Eve in Dallas. We’ll be there ringing in the New Year, and I can’t decide between Jack Ingram and Kevin Fowler… which one should we try to get tickets to?
Good luck getting that next round of funding Mike… I can’t wait for Pegasus News to lauch in full!
Hey John:
Thanks for the kind words!
BUT, I did NOT give you permission to post that picture of me.
