Here are answers to some questions that I know you’ve been
dying to ask:

• Isn’t it almost Best of Tucson® time? Why, yes, it
is. We’re putting the finishing touches on the issue, and you’ll have
it in your hands (or on your computer screen) on Thursday, Sept. 24. In
other words, look for it in three short weeks!

• Isn’t it almost Fall Club Crawl® time? Why, yes,
it is. We’re putting the finishing touches on our plans for the big ol’
downtown music festival, which is happening on Saturday, Oct. 3. Get
your wristbands at Zia Records now for a mere $8! Look for more details
as they develop, and our Club Crawl® guide in the Oct. 1 issue.
That’s in four short weeks from now!

• Wow. Impressive. Anything else coming up that I should
know about?
Boy howdy, is there! We’ll be doing a special LGBT
Pride supplement in the Oct. 8 issue. Got a story idea? Let us know!
Then three weeks after that, on Oct. 29, we’ll bring you our Yum! fall
dining guide. Then in November, just in time for the holidays, we’ll be
publishing our annual Gift Guide …

• Wait. Wait. Wait wait wait! It’s only freaking September!
Do we have to be talking about the holidays yet?!
Sorry. Didn’t
mean to alarm anyone. I’ll keep it brief and just say that we’re
starting work on our Gift Guide, our GASP! last-minute gift guide and
all of the other holiday special issues you know and love.

In the meantime … happy September, everyone!
