In the Beginning...

Let Me Introduce Myself...

If you haven't wandered over to my profile (even if you did, there's not much there), my name is Liz. Currently I am living in the wild terrain of Montana as a MFA candidate in the Science and Natural History Filmmaking program at Montana State University.

That's me in case you're wondering. 

So, Sub-Culture of the Week...Why?

Let me be honest. This blog is a class requirement. I have tried to blog in the past and abandoned ship because I became bored with them (even though when I began them, I didn't that would happen). I did consider reviving one on archaeology sites, but decided against it. Who knows, maybe down the line I will. 

Anyway, I am an avid reader of Wired magazine, especially on-line, and one of my favorite things about the company is how they bring different sub-cultures to light by either mentioning how they are affecting the way people approach subjects or writing full on articles about these sub-cultures. 

I wish there was a compendium of all these different sub-cultures (maybe there is one, maybe tropes.com?). There are so many that exist, each with just as interesting people in them. From Bronies affecting the production of a child's cartoon show to hackers having their own conventions with games such as "Spot-the-Fed," to Real Life Super Heroes that have inspired films and comic books just as how they were originally inspired by them.

Sub-Culture of the Week is going to take a look at one of these different communities each week. From the fascinating, to the inspiring and to the strange.
