Hey everyone! Hope you'll be able to join us tomorrow for Hyphen's birthday party. We're turning 3. No small feat for an independent, volunteer-run magazine with little in the way of resources. I can't say we've grown as much as we've liked in these last 3 years. We still don't have an office. We still can't afford to pay anyone. We're still all working day jobs. What we do have is a lot of passion. And somehow that's taken us this far. It's really amazing (or maybe just stubborness) that we've survived as long as we have when most magazines (with millions of dollars in start-up capital) fail within their first year.
We'll have the new issue with us. What's in issue 9?
Tomorrow night we're also offering a special deal at the door. If you buy a subscription ($18) it will only cost you $2 to get into the party! Regular party admission is $10. If you want to support Hyphen, the best thing you can do (short of giving us a big donation) is buy a subcription. That provides us with revenue right away (no waiting for the middle men to take their cut and deliver a check) and increases our circulation numbers, which makes us more attractive to advertisers.
Hope to see you there. As always, this event, like all Hyphen events, is a fundraiser that goes towards the cost of printing the next issue.
Oh and did I mention that Mr. Hyphen will be there?! Meet him in person!
