A MATCH MADE IN AUSTIN

IT JUST OCCURRED TO ME THAT if you picked up this magazine at SXSW, you might not be all that familiar with Den of Geek. You might know of us; at least, I’d like to think that you might, considering all of the amazing work this team does in the entertainment and pop culture space, but it’s possible that you’re not a regular reader, viewer, or listener. After all, most of our “real world” presence has been centered around events like San Diego Comic-Con or

New York Comic Con, the kind of events that are much more traditionally associated with the “geek” in our name.

But just as SXSW has started to become the kind of cultural hotspot that turns buzzy, up-and-coming genre fare like last year’s Everything Everywhere All at Once into this year’s Oscar darlings, it’s also where we like to spread our wings a bit and talk about some other elements of the entertainment industry and pop culture that we’re just as passionate about. Take, for example, our music coverage (which you can also find on our website), where we try to spotlight the intersection between the expected Den of Geek topics and the other artists we love. So if you’re already a DoG fan, well, it’s nice to run into you here in Austin. And if this is our first meeting, welcome to the Den. We hope you stick around to check out all the other cool stuff we do.
