While most likely a coincidence, Express editor-in-chief Jeff Koyen decided to print a series of barbs[5] against Scott Stedman, The L's publisher.
In 2005, The L Magazine launched Summer Screen,[11] a free weekly film series in Brooklyn's McCarren Park.
[14][15] Headliners included indie rock acts Cymbals Eat Guitars, The Dodos, Screaming Females, and Real Estate (band).
In 2010, The L Magazine hosted the second Northside Festival,[16][17][18][19][20][21][22] featuring performances by Polvo, Liars (band), Elvis Perkins in Dearland, and The Fiery Furnaces.
[23] The festival also hosted the films Feast of Stephen by James Franco[24] and Life During Wartime by Todd Solondz.
