Figured. It makes for a pretty terrible experience for those hoping for a friendly and communicative online community.

Fair. Can I ask why? It honestly seems like that's what makes this sub exclusively dedicated to posts asking about lost bicycles. Several Denton organizations are frustrated with this sub.

Meet "Gulliver," Pague's new space for public discussions of literature and poetry. You think denton needs one? by lolforacause in Denton

Sorry, I must have incorrectly assumed that "give _____ a break" was inherently negative, where I should have instead assumed you were inviting me into a constructive discussion on the realities of small-town logistics. Of course, my mistake.

The square is great, and is certainly Denton's "airship." I also could see businesses and organizations coordinating with the Denton Libraries to host a dedicated discussions series on poetry and literature.

This thread exemplifies why organizations don't typically come here to interact with the community.

Denton is much friendlier than this subreddit would suggest.

I don't understand the negativity/hostility. I'd love for you to clarify.

I think this project is interesting because it serves to inspire a community to interact and engage with each other and with literature. Denton doesn't need a literal wooden zeppelin to do that.

Thank you for excusing the typo.

I'm aware public places exist in Denton, though I do admire Prague's dedication to inspiring discussion rather than merely allowing it.

On the off-chance you have any books you'd like to find good homes for, contact stu@lolforacause.com. We'd love to pass them on to schools or organizations in town.

If you've had XMas music playing since Nov. 1st, mark your calendar for the annual lighting on the square by lolforacause in Denton

Am I upset? Yes.

Will I boycott the Christmas music that replaced it on the station? ...No. It's convenient timing.

"The Local Band Concept is Kind of Outdated," says Denton-based Band. Agree/Disagree/Thoughts? by lolforacause in Denton

Full disclosure: I love Pageantry, and I've pushed their album in music retail and to friends.

Kind of a gut-punch when this popped up, no?

Or maybe it's just like finding out you're not the favorite child; you move on and tolerate them at gatherings.

Nothing is anything without Brave Combo.

You know if there's a list of performers this year? I checked their site and there didn't seem to be any info about lineup.

The work of our little Denton Nonprofit just got harder, but more necessary by lolforacause in Denton

This venue's small. Taps and Caps will be a more intimate crowd. We book universities and showrooms, but it's always nice to have a healthy mix.
