About OFFOFFOFF.COM

OFFOFFOFF.COM's mission is to cover alternative arts of all kinds in New York City -- independent film, off-off-Broadway theater, local music, non-commercial radio, and whatever else we can think of. It was created by a journalist and a computer specialist who were sitting in a theater one day after watching a terrific independent movie called Lena's Dreams and wondered why there wasn't a source of information that would let people know about the many great events in New York that don't necessarily get written up in the major papers and don't involve animated Disney characters or dancing alley cats. So we decided to start one.

We have a talented staff of about a dozen contributors -- most of them experienced journalists with a background in the arts, some of them artists who write. We've been doing this since late 1999, and we're growing in popularity every month. We hope to offer even more information, services and places for reader input in the near future, so come back frequently.

If you have comments about the site, want to do business with us, or want to let us know about an upcoming event, please e-mail us. We'd love to hear from you.

This site would never have been possible without all the great and good-humored information at HotWired's Webmonkey.	Almost everything on this site was designed on a sturdy old Apple PowerMac 7500 (okay, and a slightly more recent PowerBook).	We use our bare hands to code OFFOFFOFF.COM, with the terrific (and basically free) program BBEdit from Bare Bones Software.
After going through two lousy ISPs that went defamed but unnamed in this space, we have finally discovered the wonderful, cheap and competent CI Hosting and couldn't be happier.
