From The Editor

 

a

Alrighty then, I lost my prover-
bial editorial cherry last month
with the publication of my first
issue as editor of the Other Press.
Like any deflowering, it was
exciting, slightly painful, a little
embarrassing — but also some-
thing I will get better at the more
I practise. Now, I know it is cus-
tomary for the Editor to apolo-
gize for his or her first issue and
so let me get it out of the way.
I'm sorry. It's me, not you. |
swear this has never happened to
me before. Let’s try again — it will
be better this time baby, I prom-
ise.

Okay, we're good now, right?
Let us move on. This issue prom-
ises to be more satisfying. We
have newsworthy news, a hap-
pening word search, sequinned
nekkid ladies, New Music West
coverage that will appeal to even
the most indie-coiffed music elit-
ist, long-dead New
Westminsterites, and of course
sporty sports courtesy of our own
Flash Gordon. And these are just
the stories with pictures.

So, we hope you'll enjoy our
second issue of the summer in
this Year of our Lord, 2003. Take
a romp through our pages, have
your fun, and, if you like, call us
the next day. We'll be waiting by
the phone.

Yours,

Jennifer Aikman Look, Editor
