Dentron - The Home of Happiness

This is our 4th year in Denton Texas U.S.A. We are living in Denton proper right now ("proper" meaning properly situated away from 288). The "like a folky berekly" neo-folk-hippies, vagetarians, gear heads, artgeeks, neo-nerds, crusties, synthaholoics, gender benders, 12 pack PBR fixed gear crew, beardos, UNT jazzbos and barbacoa cadets are just too beautiful. The small slice of chillelectro folktronic vibe here is breath taking . If you turn your head sideways It looks like a cross between a David Lynch and John Waters film and that 1983 cult film called Liquid Sky. The usually obvious Richard Linklater "Slacker" film association only seems appropriate if you invert the concept and filter it through a texican-pinneapple prism. Yes, I do believe that our perceptions of so called "solids" comes through a collapse of the wave form of multiple, potential possibilities. Though normally it does embody a combination of "the bohemian charm of Berkeley with the rural folksiness of the South." However, there isn't too much of an overwhelming crusty layer of monoculture and neo-folk, tough if you travel away from "proper" too much you hit Texas. The beer on a budget drunks have saturated the place and the weirdos are authentic not plastic... strange stuff. Definitely not like San Marcos at all the 3rd week in. By the time the 1st year rolls around you say to yourself "wait this doesn't feel like a 1970's Austin or a San Marcos on shrooms wtf is this? Is this really happening in Texas? on planet Earth?" During the third year you have taken everything for granted until you travel to Austin or Kingsville, TX again and realize what you have. Great spot for a true staycation. Pics coming soon. "I'm not sorry I took the money..."
