Launch Party: Time of our LIVES

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.
