An Important Note
After nearly three years in an issue format, Being There has decided to move toward a more flexible schedule that will see fresh content being posted on a rolling basis, as it becomes available. We will continue to offer the same content our readers have come to expect, but hope to do so in a more timely manner, unconstrained by a monthly calendar. New content will be clearly identified and highlighted, and e-mails will be sent out monthly to notify readers of important updates to the website. We appreciate your patience in this transitional time, and look forward to a year of exciting changes ahead.
About Being There Magazine
Founded in 2004, Being There is an online music, film and culture magazine that rides the fringe between mainstream popular culture and alternative or unheralded work. Past issues have focused on both iconic artists such as U2 and Paul McCartney and relative unknowns such as Toronto singer-songwriter David Celia and Austin, Texas' Bigamy Sisters. Being There strives to promote music and culture with depth, integrity and intelligence. Recent interviews include singer-songwriters Sufjan Stevens, Joe Pernice, Michael Penn, Robbie Fulks and Jolie Holland, comedians Patton Oswalt, Lewis Black and Greg Proops, and legendary figures such as Pete Townshend, Tommy Smothers, Colin Blunstone of The Zombies and Kinky Friedman.
