Something for everyone, and includes a special "limited time only" Carnaval 4-page photo spread.  (I don't have permissions, so that is why limited time.  Will take it out on Ash Wednesday.)  There might be a few typos in there, but it is otherwise FABULOUS! SO CHECK IT OUT!

The first issue was very late.  Very, very late.  This one is just 8 days late.  Hopefully next issue will be on time, and by March I will be able to find a new on-line format.  (Viewing from the phone is especially problematic, even when you choose "Web View".) By April I hope to be able to start printing a few to leave around town.

I REALLY HOPE YOU ENJOY THE  NEW ISSUE!

WHAT'S INSIDE? EVERYTHING!

THE FIRST ISSUE IN SINGLE PAGE FORMAT

I still have not swapped out all the photos, but here it is in an easier to read format.  The front and back covers, and the "advertising insert" of the Pink Flyer Project are separate due to formatting issues.

EDIT 22 JANUARY 2016: I didn't check this on my phone.  Google Doc's does not covert properly on the phone, even when viewing the blog in "Web View".  My apologies.  It will display the text of the article first- in strange formations- and then show the page as an image, but not sized properly. Hopefully by the March issue I will have found a suitable on-line publishing platform for SSL.  In the meantime, thank you so much for your patience.

RAIN BOWIES

If you read the first issue draft you know that Iris was definitely here to mourn David Bowie's passing and to assist him in making a colourful exit from this world and entry to the next.

I am still working on the first issue and will re post the finished project soon, and have already started on issue two, due out at the end of the month.
