LETTITOR As you can plainly see by the cover of this latest issue, several members of the OP staff formed an impromptu cross-border delegation and dropped into Seattle this past weekend for a wild evening of music, booze and weirdness. Known as ‘Lebowskifest’, this event is just what the world has been waiting for. I would best describe it as a cheap Star Trek convention, minus the Starfleet influence and dominated by bowling, awful costumes and a heap of White Russians. In short, it’s a hell of a good time for the average achiever. While we laughed the night away, another delegation of OP members were in Victoria where they had been dispatched to attend a regional conference put on by the Canadian University Press and hosted by the Nexus Campus Newspaper at Camosun College. From what I hear, it also featured some great evening entertainment. So loyal readers, I urge you to consider what you are missing as you read this weeks issue. By volunteering your time at the OP, a plethora of experience awaits you, both journalistic and just plain weird. So why don’t you skip this weeks episode of Survivor, and attend the weekly Other Press meetings down here in room 1020 (Thursdays at 6:00) on the New West Campus! Mark it 8, Dude! MONKEYS DO IT, YOU SHOULD TOO! the other press Write for us. Now. I mean it.
