TONIGHT! Carin Goldberg: By the Seat of her Pants

Can you ever be too inspired? Definitely not.
So after the sold-out night with Arem Duplessis, and the quickly-selling-get-your-tickets-already! night with James Victore, who could be next? It only seemed perfect to ask our Secret Santa for a night from Carin Goldberg. And Santa came through.

PAPER TO PIXELS: Tuesday, October 7th

"Today the internet does what magazines used to do."
- Fabien Baron, Interview Magazine relaunch issue.
Magazines and their websites.

Are websites replacing magazines? Are magazines the main course and the web just a side? Who does what better? How have websites changed the role of the modern magazine? Do we need both? Am I going to be out of work in 10 years...or less?
