July 1 is right around the corner. My fingers are crossed that everything will continue going smoothly and we'll be available on that day. Barring any
catastrophe, that should happen. The artwork for issue one is complete and can be viewed in glorious low-res below.
It was done by Robert Høyem ( http://www.attheends.com ). He's a great guy, so if you need some work done, give him a shout. He'll do you right, and for a great price. It's the art he cares about, not the money, though he likes that, too, of course. Haha.
Here is the final TOC (in order):
The one thing we are missing is non-fiction. I think I mentioned this before, but Rodney Anonymous (singer for The Dead Milkmen) was on board with us for the non-fiction, but he had to back out due to the Milkmen getting back together and deciding to write new music and do a little touring. I hope to get him involved in the future. He had a killer article planned. =(
Anyway, we simply couldn't find anything else we were comfortable printing in time. So instead of printing something sub-par, or what we felt was sub-par, we chose not to include any non-fiction article for this issue. We have that sorted for issue two, however.
Our new website is not online yet (an early layout image can be seen HERE). I need to add content to it, and I simply haven't had the time. This whole thing has been a bit more work than I anticipated. But it will be online soon, even if in limited fashion.
I will be at NECON this year (my first time), and the plan is to give away a copy of issue one in each grab bag, 200 copies total, I believe. So if you're going to NECON, expect a copy. Hopefully I don't find any copies in the trash. Haha.
Rock on, fellas!
