Urban Folk Eight? Eat THIS!

At last, the latest issue of Urban Folk has arrived. It's been a long strange trip, but it's out. It's OUT! Come on by the usual suspicious places to find the print copy: open mics, acoustic clubs, street corner preachermen... a copy is waiting just for you. The online version will be out as soon as we get off our asses.

It's out...

Issue 7 - Happy Brithday to us! (download below)
Current mood: accomplished

Happy Birthday to us! Yes, its the birthday issue! Were one year old and showing no signs of slowing, despite how many times Jon Berger fires me. We got nostalgic and wrote about ourselves a little too much this issue, but hey, its our birthday and no ones allowed to get mad at you on your birthday. I want to thank everyone who has taken part and makes this possible every time, especially the staff, so Im going to take this space to introduce them properly: Jonathan Berger: Copy Editor / Poet Extraordinaire / Jew - the man behind the curtain pulling all of our strings. Paul Alexander: Feature Writer & Columnist / Sophisticated Pop-Smith - nicest guy ever. Brook Pridemore: Columnist / Punk Ass Motherfucking Folksinger - shy for a road warrior. Dan Costello: Feature Writer & Columnist / Brooklyn Folk-Hop - jovial, good beard. Deborah T: Puzzle Editor & Feature Writer / Experimental Folk Feminist - good friend, good person, good singing! Andrew Hoepfner: Feature Writer / Leader of the Band - far too responsible to be a folksinger. Welcome Herb Scher, our newest member! Staff Photographer / Ace Pianist - already proven in these pages what is worth a thousand words. Im Dave Cuomo: Your Editor / Folksinger - a bit of a flake and shouldnt be in charge of anything. Last and most important You! The Community: The only reason we exist...
