Sad Magazine launched to an enthusiastic crowd on Thursday, September 17 at the ANZA club. We received the following communique from our friend Lindsay in the aftermath:

Additional evidence that the sad mag launch was awesome was discovered only when I got home and into a well lit room:

• + there were a bunch of sad faces drawn all over my arms in permanent marker
• + I was wearing a home made dirty dancing pin that said ‘no one puts baby in a corner’ in sharpie
• + there was a 4 foot trail of fishing line and ribbon trailing behind me, attached to one of my boots

We had a great time!

Sounds like a fantastic time was had by all! Thank you to everyone who attended our event, cramming the ANZA club well beyond capacity, and helping us to raise money for this exciting project. 

Thanks especially to:

• + Paul Beja, our event planner, for creating the best balloon trees of our lives, as well as the volunteers who helped us to set up the party.
• + The volunteers who managed the bar and the front door in every manner of dressed and barely dressed.
• + The eternally fabulous Isolde N. Barron and her support crew, for blowing our heads off with a performance of “Baby, I’m a star!” Baby, you are a star.
• + Our DJs Jef Lepard, Ryan and Rohit, who kept us dancing all night long. 
• + And, of course, the very talented contributors who dedicated their best work to our first issue.
