So I take it this is basically coming out of our pockets for the first run(s)? No prob but costs will begin to add up... I'm thinking depending on our circulation/popularity we may need to do some manner of fund raiser. Was thinking maybe I could run some home cooked meals out of my Garden Apartment some weekends... the Anarchist's CookClub or something...

Or, I was also thinking of hustling contributors for publishing money. As that we're giving them voice, lean on em a lil too cover print costs. I'm not too keen on making a mandatory publishing fee, too much like political contributions etc woitht he whole selectivity on what gets published and influence of how much is donated and whatnot... I dont know... how you feel about this?

Finally, I was also thinking about devoting a page to service organizations. Free advertising for ways to actively make things a bit better. I figure any sort of sctivism is hollow without some sort of service component and what I think is needed is a more centralized high profile directory for volunteer organizations. That, and we might pick up soem spare cash from said groups for a higher print run.
