Show this Saturday @ Cafe Racer!!!

Issue 2 contributor Lonesome Shack will be playing this Saturday at Cafe Racer @ 9pm in the U district. We think its free too!

If you haven't seen these guys play live before this may be your last chance for a while. We highly recommend you check this show out as there is nobody else in Seattle who can pull off this kind of music in such a genuine way. A rare performer which can actually inspire Seattleites to dance!!!  Hard to imagine but we've seen it with our own eyes!! Plus, Cafe Racer is a trip and a place worth experiencing. Check out their Official Bad Art Museum of Art AKA the OBAMA!

This second time around we created an open invitation for the public to submit writings, pictures, and music in the theme of "Spring". We took the title, "Summer in the Light and Winter in the Shade" from a quotation by Charles Dickens as it neatly and very nicely captures the season.

As this is only our second issue we are continuing to experiment in both form and function. This time around we decided to flip our entire layout on its side--making it horizontal. We incorporated more visual elements, our first poem, as well as some helpful resources such as our "Seasonal Foods" calender.

Topics in this issue include "Cycles of Growth", Gardening, Seasonal Living and MUCH MORE!!


Accompanied Music Compilation  PV003

This compilation features all new music contributors. With the exception of the Broads (CA) all artists come from the Pacific Northwest. We were exceptionally pleased with the variation we received along our "roots music" theme. The word "roots" in regards to music might invoke imagery of ancient indigenous cultures, western traditional music (ie - folk or blues), or perhaps a process of creating from one's local environment. Indeed this compilation captures all of these concepts and much more. Give it a listen and hear the magic.

Peas Peas Peas Me!

Usually the first vegetable we plant each year. In 2010, we had peas in the ground by March 8th but this year due to the La Niña cold and extra rain we've had some trouble germinating. We had to replant this last week. Let's hope they sprout this time!

In the meantime we shall recite and repeat the "Pea Chant"!

Please Please Please Come Up!
