TheVi.be

SANTA MONICA, CA - Some of you might remember the old Vibes website. Admittedly, it wasn’t updated very much. And, it, in the end, just sorta fizzled. Well, due to a number of people wanting to be involved with a culture-based website, we’ve decided to relaunch a site with a similar concept.

Introducing: TheVi.be –> that is www.TheVi.be.

We are going to have online book groups, a movie club, music reviews, TV show discussions, and anything else that might interest our readers.

Are you an aspiring music or movie critic? Do you have a favorite TV show that you MUST talk about? Do you think you have a better fashion-sense than Ryan Hamilton? We need more writers! Let me know via e-mail if you are interested!

What’s your Halloween costume? Send it in to VBD and we’ll post a gallery of images!
