STEP INTO SPRING
The arrival of all things new that is springtime is a joyous occasion for all but the most snow addicted winter sports enthusiasts. Music, sports, shows, conventions, and the like begin to awaken from the semi-hibernation they go into during the cold, dark months of winter. So, it’s with some excitement that we bring to you an issue full of new things including a look at the Guma Guar art collective who are breaking down barriers in the art world and revising the possibilities of what art is and represents in this the 21st century.

We also were fortunate enough to get the incredibly influential illustrator and artist Gary Baseman to share his thoughts with us on a variety of subjects.

In the realm of new and interesting music, we were able to get Sasha Perera, the lead singer of the truly globalized band Jahcoozi to answer some of our questions.

You will also have a chance to read the thoughts of a contributor who has put a great deal of time and energy into thinking through what actually did happen on September 11th and was it what we’ve been told to believe or not? Of course we won’t neglect to set you on your way to all kinds of interesting events like the upcoming tattoo convention, watering holes like Mad Bar, and more. And finally, you’ll find a look at the changes taking place on Václavské náměstí these days. ENJOY!
