About Me

Scene Points Magazine started in the spring of 2004 when a group of freshfaced young kids, dying for an outlet to unleash their scene-based opinions, proposed the idea of a zine to one Paul Shelton at the Burlington YMCA. The zine would focus around the local music scene, bands, movies, and basically whatever else the group of eighteen-year-olds could come up with. Two years, several staff changes (and change backs) and a hell of a lot of paper later, Scene Points is still kicking around and better than ever. Just see for yourself.
