The S Magazine is a bi-monthly
urban culture and entertain-
ment magazine targeting cultur-
ally conscious men and women
ages 18-35. As one of the newest
Dallas-based publications, The S
Magazine offers its readers insight-
ful discussions on music, fashion,
entertainment, art, and culture.
A provocative editorial empha-
sis on the overall well-being of
the socially-involved Dallas-ite
allows The S Magazine to extend
its focus far beyond a simple over-
view of the Dallas urban lifestyle.
This publication is a conversa-
tion with real Dallas natives and
residents about topics that are
immediate to this geographic
region and to our social climate.
2011 is the year to increase
brand awareness and circula-
tion as we implement initiatives
to drive traffic to the magazine,
theSmagazine.com, and our ad-
vertising partners. These endeav-
ors coupled with our fresh take on
Dallas life will make The S Magazine
a definitive voice reflecting the
diversity of Dallas and its residents.

Beyoncé proved it with her Billboard Millenium Award honor. Her success is all her own just like her failure, though she doesn’t have much, would have been her own. In order to harness our own power to “Run the World,” girls and boys alike have to understand that, in every situation, what happens to us starts with us—steps off soapbox.
Nothing further at this time,

he whole theory of artistic
expression—music, fashion,
performance, poetry, etc.—is to
liberate. Liberate the mind, lib-
erate the body, liberate the soul. All these
media seek to take what the spectator, and
to large degree the artist, from common-
place to extreme consciousness.
Jesse Porter is the founder and
inciter of the “Cool Beings Movement”
which seeks to take the Dallas music scene
to the extremes of consciousness—under-
standing the power of words and the culture
of music.
In his event, “The Calling, Vol. 2,”
Jesse has called on innovators in their craft
to carry the torch of defining the Dallas mu-
sic scene. “When it comes to music, you go
to New York, you get it. You go to Chicago,
you get it. You go to Dallas, we want you
to get it just as well.” Dallas has such a rich
music scene—bridging the gaps between
all the different genres
making an eclectic and
diverse canvas. The
artists Jesse has pulled
together represent the
diversity of Dallas
music.
Check out
“The Calling, Vol. 2” on
Friday, June 17. For
