Who is Queen of the Dayton scene?

Just in time for the run-up to Ladyfest, the VD is pleased to bring you its newest poll: Who is Queen of the Dayton scene. While we were disappointed with the slow trickle of nominees, we think you will find someone vote-worthy on the list we have assembled.

Jenny Mac - Everyone knows her and why she's up here.
Noelle - Matron saint of State School and perhaps the most perceptive VD reader.
Sarah Stephens - This socialite of scene royalty just keeps on trucking. Anywhere you see her you can be sure her jester sidekick isn't far behind.
Ganelle - A punk princess that's capable of making you piss your pants. We mean this in a bad way.
Katie Anible - Not sure why her name was submitted, unless the unconfirmed reports that she's a cannibal are true.
Shae - High Lordess of inebriation, she will make you question your masculinity, even as you maintain a constant erection, when she drinks you under the table.
Mary Kathryn - No scene Queen poll would be complete without the ever-promoting cocktail Countess, Mary Kathryn.
Heather Redman - VD knows little of this Duchess of disc jockeys except that she knows more about the scene's history and aristocracy than all four of our writers.

So, there they are. Are we missing some key nominees? Sure. But that's why you can vote for other. Take a moment to indicate which lady is the reason the scene boys still get out of bed. Or for some why they stay in bed. Ha!

POLL: Who is King of the Self-Righteous Artfag Whiners?

The Dayton Dirt Collective, a small, crappy venue located at 144 E. 3rd St in downtown Dayton, has been throwing boring shows that nobody goes to for over a year now. With the summer show season winding down, we at the VD thought it would be the perfect time to pay tribute to some of the members who spend so much time in this wet dog-smelling shithole. So we bring you a new poll: Who is King of the Self-Righteous Artfag Whiners? We would like to thank the thoughtful reader from whom we stole the idea! And the nominees are:
Aaron Smith - artfag to the max! Aaron was the bass player of seminal Dayton "post-rock" noise act Romance of Young Tigers, a band whose lack of talent could only be surpassed by the dumbness of their name.
"Punk Rock" Nick Anderson - A whiny crybaby who hasn't taken a shower since Headbanger's Ball went off the air, prNick is the founder and treasurer of the DDC. Perhaps the most self-righteous member, prNick can often be found moping around the dirtspace sweeping up cigarette butts, presumably to smoke later in the gutter with the other members of Rad Company.
Jim Tarjeft - Drunken fool Jim is the facility coordinator of the DDC. Though we couldn't figure out what that title actually means, our guess is that it's just a ploy to make him sound impressive to women. Sorry Jim! Never gonna happen!
Jeremy Price - Price has been spotted taking money at the door during many events. Because of this, we at the VD think of him as the "ambassador" of the Collective. With his puffy brown hair, and his dreamy dark complexion, we just really really wanna fuck him.
Ravi Star - Pledge frontman Ravi brings a straight edge presence to the DDC. That's right, just in case the lack of seating, air conditioning, or booze wasn't enough to keep you from coming to shows at the DDC, they made sure to throw some violent, karate-kicking neanderthals into the mix.

Please, take a moment to vote for your choice of King of the Self-Righteous Artfag Whiners. These men have given so much to make E. 3rd Street just that much more disgusting.

Which Dayton band should throw in the towel?

Voting has begun on which Dayton band needs to call it quits. Luxury Pushers, Once-Ler, Nightbeast, The Sics, The Story Changes, and Legbone were the nominees submitted to the VD. Voting will be open for one week for what I'm sure will be quite a contentious poll. Post a band name in this thread's comments and they will be added to the poll choices. Names entered within the poll's other choice become visible after it closes.





Nominees are now being accepted for the upcoming poll: Who is Queen of the Dayton scene? Nominees must be female and residents of the Fem- I mean the Gem City.

There's also still time to vote on King of the Dayton hipster through this Thursday afternoon.

Who is the #1 Dayton hipster?

VD is excited to announce that voting has begun for who is the King hipster in town. Voting will close on August 6 at 4:20pm. The poll is in the sidebar on the left. New nominees may be added by Anonymous, Roscoe, or myself as we see fit (you can go back and change your vote until the poll closes).

You should also begin submitting your nominees now for next week's poll: Which Dayton band should throw in the fucking towel? Post a comment, or call the vishnu den @ 937.265.4074 and leave a message. Keep it lively folks.
