We built the idea around inviting our favorite musicians and friends to a weekend camp out and pickin’ party along the banks of Missouri’s scenic riverways, where the music and the smiles never stop. After a successful first year, we decided this was too big and exciting to not continue year after year. We work year round to bring you new and exciting music, scenery, activities and memories to share with your friends and family. Bringing people together through the love of music is what the Pickin’ On Festivals are all about; with artist-led workshops and campfire jams, we celebrate talented musicians and lovers of music alike. Since 2015 we have Pick’d on The Meramec, The Mississippi, The Huzzah and The Courtois. In 4 years, the Pickin’ On Family and Crew has grown Thank you to our community partners and we hope you will join us for everything that is yet to come.

    1 PULSE MAGAZINE: An exploration of Athens Ohio’s entertainment culture ____________________________________ A Thesis Presented to The Honors Tutorial College Ohio University _______________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Graduation from the Honors Tutorial College with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Journalism ______________________________________ by Bridget Nora Mallon May 2013 2 The American public seeks repose in the entertainment industry because it gives them the chance to escape their everyday lives, to indulge in something that does not require critical thinking and to take a step back from the sadness and defeat that dominate most sources of news. Countless people look for something light at the end 3 of the day, whether that be a rerun of their favorite TV show, a new album by their favorite band, or the latest release of their favorite magazine, instead of sitting down to watch the evening news, or read the daily newspaper. Magazines, in and of themselves are a form of entertainment, which makes them one of the most appealing sources of information for Americans who consume some form of journalism. Even if they are hard news based, magazines are perceived as more entertaining and enjoyable than other news sources. The average consumer sees reading magazines as a leisure activity, not solely as a way to find information. Unlike newspapers or TV news broadcasts, which people are likely to consume while engaging with other stimuli, magazine readers spend extended, uninterrupted, periods of time with their favorite publications. The average magazine reader spends 42 minutes with each issue, and is unlikely to engage with any other media during that time (MPA, 2011-12, p.

Box 98129 Atlanta, GA 30359 (404) 633-1866 www.slcatlanta.org AR2014 program cover v2.indd 1 7/11/2014 9:52:32 AM 68TH ANNUAL MEETING of the SOUTHERN LEGISLATIVE CONFERENCE SLC Chair’s Welcome Dear Delegates, As Chair of the Southern Legislative Confer- ence, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Little Rock, Arkansas. This year’s Annual Meeting offers a host of opportunities to explore issues of significance to policymakers across the region, as well as showcase the spectacular attractions found in our capital city and state. As a Southerner, I am especially appreciative of our region’s rich character. I recognize the strong sense of place we share, our region’s ability to adjust to rap- idly increasing populations, shifting resources and globalization, and I am humbled by our resilience when faced with natural disas- ters and the unexpected. This week you will have access to numer- ous substantive sessions, policy experts and presenters who will help connect the dots on important policy issues and, at the same time, reinforce what we all know – that the South is one of the Na- tion’s most vibrant regions. As we continue a tradition of excellence that has established the SLC Annual Meeting as the best attended and most anticipated re- gional meeting of its kind in the country, I remind you of our state motto, Regnat Populus – The People Rule – which aptly describes our charge as public servants and our important role within the SLC.

  • 2017 High Sierra Music Festival Program
    WELCOME! Festivarians, music lovers, friends old and new... WELCOME to the 27th version of our annual get-together! This year, we can’t help but look back 50 years to the Summer of Love, the summer of 1967, a year that brought us the Monterey Pop Festival (with such performers as Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Otis Redding, Janis Joplin and The Grateful Dead) which became an inspiration and template for future music festivals like the one you find yourself at right now. But the hippies of that era would likely refer to what’s going on in the political climate of these United States now as a “bad trip” with the old adage “the more things change, the more they stay the same” coming back into play. Here we are in 2017 with so many of the rights and freedoms that were fought long and hard for over the past 50 years being challenged, reinterpreted or revoked seemingly at warp speed. It’s high time to embrace the two basic tenets of the counterculture movement. First is PEACE. PEACE for your fellow human, PEACE within and PEACE for our planet. The second tenet brings a song to mind - and while the Beatles Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band gets all the attention on its 50th anniversary, it’s the final track on their Magical Mystery Tour album (which came out later the same year) that contains the most apropos song for these times. ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE. LOVE more, fear less. LOVE is always our answer. Come back to LOVE.
