The Sad Mag crew is thick into production of our next issue, MadMadWorld, and we’ve picked a great city to go over our copy in! We are going to Seattle baby! (We are. For realsies. Like today.) The Seattle Queer Music and Arts Festival, and Sad Mag is taking a road trip!

From Mo-Wave’s Website: “We live in an age where pride parades are ubiquitous and queer culture is portrayed across all media outlets.  Yet for some, televised and marketed gay culture is a vapid and self-deprecating representation of queerness.  In our efforts to matriculate into mainstream American culture, we queers sometimes forget what makes us powerful: our ability to challenge the status quo, to push cultural boundaries, to redefine and set global definitions of art and music.  Uninspired by mockeries of reinforced stereotypes, ‘Mo-Wave is an attempt to showcase queers as tastemakers and rule breakers in modern society.  Additionally, ‘Mo-Wave aims to highlight the particular flavor that Seattle and the Pacific Northwest offers the rest of American queer culture, both historically and today.  The inauguration is coming. April 7-14: Seattle, WA!”
