Well guys (and by guys I mean both boys and girls) it is fall. You may have gotten that already, by the fact you are back in school, or the fact you find yourself wearing your coat when going outside, or by the fact everyone seems just a little bit less happy. Or maybe you, like me, are in denial. Well peoples (a much less gender specific word than "guys") it is in fact fall. In caps, and bold, just so that we make sure everyone catches it: IT IS FALL! Sorry to burst your summer bubble. Now, lower yourself back to the ground carefully—for fall is certainly not worth hurting yourself over-- and let’s get on with it.
The good news is that we have the cure for those fall blues—it's a little something that we like to call the Second Anniversary Issue of a little newsletter called Wondering Holy Youth... which you are in fact now reading, and so it should be nice and handy for you.
We would like to point out three very exciting words in the previous paragraph in case you missed them—Second Anniversary Issue— that's right folks (again, non gender specific) we are turning two years old this issue! Wow! Who would have guessed that we would make it this far? We want to say a great big thanks to all the people who have been reading W.H.Y. Your support, encouragement and feedback has helped us reach this point. Which is pretty sweet.
Speaking of pretty sweet, we were featured in the September issue of the Observer, so you should definitely check us out if you haven't already. We were interviewed and had to go to a photo shoot and everything—it’s probably the closest we’ll ever be to fame!
We would now like to share a funny story with you, which has little to do with anything. On the weekend of the photo shoot, we decided that we should hang out for a bit, as we had not seen each other in nearly a year. We went out for supper at a restaurant, and on the menu was a rather interesting item— Alligator Kabobs. Which of course we had to try. Turns out alligator is surprisingly delicious, tasting much like sausage or chicken or a number of other things we were unable to agree on. Which then lead to many alligator themed jokes, as well as the possibility of an alligator themed issue of WHY (which was quickly shot down by Charley, though still lives in Kathleen's dreams).
Anyways, I think this shall end the longest W.H.Y. intro in history. Have a great fall and enjoy this issue. Be sure to check out guest writers Nico Anderson and Cory Bentley and our guest photographers Richelle and Rick. We'll be back in December!
