About Me


What is Quick ? It’s a free weekday newspaper. A fun, fast read for young people on the go in Dallas. A daily blast of news , entertainment , sports , business and pop culture . You can get it all over the city and the surrounding areas. We also have a spiffy site at QuickDFW.com. Go there. Early and often.
Here are some highlights in Quick:
Entertainment options : Find out what the best bets are in Day Tripper . And our Weekend Q gives you a preview of big concerts, hot nightclubs and bars and new movies each Thursday.
Gordon Keith : Ladies, look no further. Gordon's in Quick every Friday with his mysteriously titled Newspaper Column.


Leah Shafer : She talks dating in Girl Talk on Wednesdays, and starts to ROTFLMAO on Thursdays.


Ben & Skin : They're lifelong buddies. Not longtime companions, as far as we know. See their discussion of news and pop culture topics each Wednesday in Hot Potato Salad .


Local music : Hunter Hauk dives headfirst into the local scene in Liner Notes each week. Skin tackles hip-hop in his Sure Shot column on Fridays. And Pikahsso and Mr. Blakes create original raps called Quick Rhymes for us each Friday.


Local nightclubs : Lesley Tellez helps you navigate the club scene in Up All Night.
And over on QuickDFW.com...
PodQasts : Mondays, check out Ear Candy , with Paul Salfen interviewing Dallas bands and playing their tracks. Wednesdays, Leah Shafer discusses dating adventures and accidents in Girl Talk . Get a clue on what to do this weekend every Thursday with the WeekendQ PodQast hosted by Renee and her faithful cohort Ayo. And on Fridays, Skin gives local hip-hop some shine on the Gemini Disco Soul Party .
Video : Check out our man-on-the-street feature, Skin Flix . And our movie-reviewing rappers Pikahsso and Tahiti discuss a new flick on Movie Time . Hilarity ensues.
See a sneak peak of Skin Flix and Movie Time in our video section!
Blog : We get all bloggy about pop culture, and we call it Blah Blah Blah . Plus, check out our newish Nightlife Blog to see daily event picks from Hunter, Lesley and Renee along with recaps of evenings out (minus the really incriminating details) and news on the local club, bar and music scenes!
JuQbox : Listen to a slew of local bands.

My Interests



I'd like to meet:

You! Please, pick me up and stare into my fonts, my informative-yet-brief stories, my witty columns and colorful advertisements. I am desperate for your love.

Music:

Local rock, local rap, local soul, local country. I likey the local. And also DJ Quik.
Listen here!

Movies:

The cliche thing to say here is that I love small, independent movies. So I’ll say that I love large, dependent movies.

Television:

If my life were a TV show, it would be Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Definitely.

Books:

My favorite thing to read is myself . Because, let’s be honest, I’m fascinating.

Heroes:

My older brother, The Dallas Morning News. And Groundskeeper Willie.
