Went fliering with Quinn. It was a fun task however useful it might be. Some guy in bloomfield mentioned selling copies in his shop. That brings me much joy. Just broke out of the worlds most minor slumpo cus when everyone sees me they wanna know mag progress and its likeeee uh doyyy check the site--nah im jk. BUT i WAS in a rut and then my goated friend sent me a really helpful formmating guide that did correctly imply that my page formats r wack. Got a new awsum free program that literally has ALL the bells n whistles. Google kept trying to be like "if you want to make a magazine use Canva (or other basic ass site that wouldn't give me the freesdom i desprately desired)" and i was like um,mmm pass on that. got a few more mutuals interested in the mag. thats really cool 2 me. Still need some1 to write about music. Someone that isnt me LMAO. Got ive done so much writing recently it felt good to go into graphic design world 2day. SPEAKING of which. I need more graphics. Looking at YOU reader. For the first time today i considered having a poetry section. I think it was b easy as f too fill tbh... all my friends r so talented. I am but a heartbroken beautiful foided baby bird--but thats me not the magazine.

Heres an awesome flier photo:


okay thats all from me ur wonderful you. I'm so sleepy and my apartment is making weird noises... alas... Est-ce fini pour moi ?

Sending out hella emails. Updating the style guide, going to link some splish to some of my empty fields. This is mostly for me to actually do the things I say im going to do. We will assemble a team to go cover this show for 9/11. That will hopefully be fun. The mag is gaining interest. I need to think about how to organize all the pages. Cover page is daunting. Table of contents and order will have to do for now. Added a fun idea to my brain dump doc. Not gonna say what tho, you gotta wait for the mag to come out and see it for yourself. Leaving for new york soon, going to be inactive for the next five days which sucks. But then i'll come back with all of my new york energy and hype and creative goopy juicey stuff that this mag needs NOWWWEWEEW.

Okay. gotta go do the stuff i just said id do.

Step One: Update the style guide on the website....Step Two: Reply to Emails. Step Three: Get LITTY!!!!

rake. totally over it. totally out.

I've got crazy allergies and i opened a beer way too late 1:49AM but the site must go on. Met with my video friend Quinn today at KDKA. it was very cool, he had mad music recs which was cool. Need to meet more creatives. Rake as a magazine will only work with the collective willpower of the people. I am one soul if that. But I have a lot of faith. I made a new flier this week and I plan to go fliering this week/weekend/probably sunday. This is chill. I hope to have this site also mostly operational and linked up in like....2 weeks. fingers crossed I like to write more than I like to code. And im a lazy coder. more of a copier and paster of old code with mad modifications. #whateverittakes. Gonna finish up this blog page and link it.

sloppy code//// sloppy slopppy code. DGAF. rake. OUT.
