austin has lost a good one, dixon coulbourn:

dixon's austin punk rag "idle time" was a lynch pin for the scene and 
because of this documentary work of his experiences over the years has 
made a tremendous contribution to a great city's legendary punk rock 
scene. without his devotion so much of austin's formative punk years 
would be lost in rotted centex brain cells. really sad that he has gone.

i have enjoyed his contributions for many years and i get a big kick 
seeing the pictures of old friends in the audiences slamming, hanging, 
discovering and participating in what was a wonderful new world of punk. 
for any of you who aren't familiar with the great austin TX scene, check 
out this page of his photos (it is a treasure trove) and discover what 
took place in austin circa 77-86:
