Day panels expected to
draw crowds at 35 Denton
By Lucinda Breeding
Features Editor
Most people who come to 35
Denton are there to see their favorite
musical acts — and to discover new
ones.
That doesn’t keep the day panels
from drawing standing-room-only
crowds during the four-day festival
that begins Thursday in the heart of
Denton.
Michael Seman, a research associ-
ate for the Center of Economic
Development and Research at the
University of North Texas, coordi-
nated this year’s daytime panels.
“This year is going to be a water-
shed for the daytime programming,”
said Seman, who will also perform at
the festival with his noise rock band
Shiny Around the Edges.
The panels cover topics from music
business networking, legal tips for
musicians, music video production
and a dissection of Denton’s melding
of college, city and cultural scenes.
In the broadest terms, the target
audience for the festival’s panels is
adults ages 18 to 35. Seman said he
and other organizers have been
focused, though.
“More specifically, the audience is
young adults who play music,” he said.
“[The panels are] not ‘how to get your
band signed,’ because there are plenty
of other festivals for that. This is to
help musicians be better artists.”

City Councilman Kevin Roden
joked after he fumbled the words of
a proclamation that earned unchar-
acteristic enthusiasm.
“Sorry,” he called to the crowd. He
lifted a pint glass ringed with traces
of foam and tipped it from side to
side.
“I’m empty,” he said, before finish-
ing the proclamation that celebrat-
ed Armadillo Ale Works’ first com-
mercial batch of beer. The crowd
whooped, hollered and hoisted pints
— making a cyclist coasting down
Oakland Street to crank his neck
and brake.
The patio of Oak Street
Drafthouse and Cocktail Parlor was
packed Friday night. Inside, patrons
stood elbow to gut at the bar, and
people edged through the parlor
sideways to get to the big back patio.
Locals wore heavy jackets and win-
ter hats to the event. The chill over-
whelmed the propane heating tow-
ers, but no one complained. Most
tasted the first draught of
Quakertown Stout, the very first
taste of the homegrown craft beer.
