MATT DRISCOLL: ONE MONTH DOWN, ETERNITY TO GO >>>
For all intents and purposes, we’ve been at it a month now. And by at it I mean producing the big, sexy, Active News and Entertainment packed new Weekly Volcano. It’s been an exciting four weeks, full of highs, a few lows, and even a learning experience or two.
One of our main goals with the newfangled Weekly Volcano is to foster an honest and legitimate dialogue with the people of Tacoma, Olympia, and everywhere in between where this beautiful rag can be found. Without the fine people of the South Sound we’d be nothing, after all. As stated by publishers Ken and Ron Swarner in our very first new and improved issue: “The Weekly Volcano is the future of print media in the South Puget Sound. It’s about conversation. It’s about us sharing this community.â€
In that spirit, I’d like to pose an honest question: How are we doing? Personally, I’ve been proud of a number of things we’ve accomplished in this first month. Joe Malik’s “Life de-railed,†cover story is a fine example, as is this week’s cover “Riot and wrong,†by Owen Taylor. On the other hand, there are a few fuck-ups from the first month which still eat at me. I whole heartedly regret my “Trib talk†post from earlier this week, not to mention using “Hindu†instead of “Hinduism†in the “A first for Olympia†post was a junior high mistake â€" at best. It’s a shame, I suppose, to have dragged you along on such learning experiences, but I guess the good thing is that learning is actually occurring.
But those are my thoughts on our first month. I’m interested in yours.
Let us know what you think, if you’re so moved. We encourage feedback here on the Spew, on our Forums page, through email, and even through old fashioned pen and paper. Letters can be mailed to us at P.O. Box 98801, Tacoma, WA 98496.
