I have great news to announce.  Starting this sunday, a new Cleveland news source will be hitting the streets, the Cleveland Reader.  10,000 copies will be made for the first edtion, and it will come out monthly.  This biggest difference is that it will clean...poetry, news stories, photos, comics...no sleeze.  100% free as well.

 

There will be a release party held at Algebra Tea House this Sunday, May 20, at 4pm.  Here's the location from google:

Sleeze is what makes the weeklies worth reading.

is there a companion website?

 

I'd like to submit my tomkatt, bragelica, jlo and jayz & beyonce pictures and stories!!

I would definetly love to see some Cleveland history stories as well inside...interviews with some older residents.

 

MTS...I don't know if that will get past the editor...you know what, I'm not ever sure how to respond. haha  (unless they're pro cleveland stories or occasions).

I was just BSing about the pictures/stories.  I would like to know if there is (or will be) a website?

Currently, I believe there are no plans for one to start with...but all my information is from small coffeeshop talk.  I'll try and find out some more information before sunday, but he did say it will be distributed both east and west side at various locations (I remember hearing coffeeshops, art galleries, etc.) to start off with.  I definetly recommend stopping by for the sunday release party and talk with the guy who's starting it.  I'll probably be there too if I don't have to work.

I'm going to try and attend with my girlfriend.. this sounds fun! And I love Algebra's food, it's some of the best in Cleveland!

I picked up a copy today...they're already printed and currently in front of Algebra Tea House.  The cover has West Side Market on the front and it's currently very artistic with poems and images.  One is entitled "Love Song for Cleveland."

 

Here's a quote on page three:

 

"We are organic, present, and conversational.  Our pages are available for those who have a poem to sing, an image to describe, or a word to add to the conversation that brings our city to life"

 

I won't be able to come over to until about 7 tomorrow.
