    Hey, that Trash zine looks cool!

    I brought my Noveltown Magazine to work so my co-workers can check it out.

    Hey, do you think I look fat in my bakotopia.com magazine debut picture? I always worry that I look fat in yellow! :)

    Hey, where's our Belardic congratulatory mention?

  6. Blogger n.l. | 4:40 PM |  

    I presented a Belardic video. heh.

    I'm hoping the Bakotopia magazine will grow into its shoes... I can tell a lot of work went into the magazine. I dig the rock and rollness, though the cover needs to be nicer to really make those quality cover designs shine...

    I would fight for that from your bosses, Matt. Get that schtuff glossified! It will really up the WOWSER! factor.

    And needs a literary category for all the little writerlings in Bakersfield. Get it literaryfied! And I don't just mean about Noveltown. I mean there is a literary scene that encompasses a lot I don't write about. I could, or someone could, for your magazine. Have someone write in each issue about literary happenings. Remember, there's Russo's, Borders, B & N, clubs and classes....

    OK, well don't if you don't wanna. But that's what I'd like to see in some newspaper in town. I mean, shit, I fought with the Californian over poor entertainment reporting. You have that covered now. But now Noveltown needs to yell for literary representation in the Southern Central Valley! Viva! :)

    Otherwise, congratulations on a first issue. It's just the beginning of a great community service.
