The sausage machine.

Annie is our graphic artist and layout queen for our ads and especially for the gazette.  I don't remember who said it, but someone once said that "people who have weak constitutions shouldn't want laws or sausages being made."  There's a sign on Annie's door saying "Keep Out.  I'm Making Sausage."

Putting together a 76-page document is a lot like making sausage, with ads and articles coming in from a hundred different sources.  We're starting to make it look more like a document...it'll get ready for final edits in early January, then it's off to the printer.  And to your mailbox.

Stay warm, we're less than 90 days from the Big Show.

  Happy Holidays,

Editorial Note:  Quark Xpress is a horrible piece of garbage software package.  Avoid it like a case of e. coli poisoning.  Adobe InDesign is much better, and despite their annoying customer service, they are much better than the abominable customer abuse we received from Quark.
