Hour Two....or Three

Well, we are six pages down, two drinks down and onto the second disc of the fantastic Ramones anthology.

Life is pretty good.

Next musician: Iggy and the Stooges. It's getting late and we need some raw power!

It's fun laying out the pages but it's hard not to just stop and read all the different stories and poetry the next issue will have. I think our readers will like what they see.

It's, It's the Hacksaw Blitz

Hour One:
The first glasses of wine have been poured, The Smiths are skipping round the stereo, and we have begun our marathon assault in the second issue. With dual iBooks open, we are poised on the shores of a new continent, ready to start editing and creating. The floor is covered with a random assortment of arts-n-crafts paraphernalia: crayons, sketchbooks, cut-up magazines, scissors, and sleeping cats. We shall overcome. We shall be victorious. We will keep you updated as the evening progresses. Stay tuned.

People's Co-op Bookstore

Hacksaw can now be found in the People's Co-op Bookstore on 1391 Commercial Drive. They're going for 4 bucks until they're gone. Check it out for some awesome local poetry, prose and art.

Hi everyone,

Contact either me or Ashleigh (before she leaves the country) for info on purchasing.

The Time is Almost Here!

That's right, folks. Our submission deadline is on June 15, 2008.
