From the editor:
No, I'm not dead, or completely gafiated - but fandom has taken kind of a back seat lately, as I'm trying to get a business started and work a full-time job as well. This issue was nearly ready for MediaWest [in May], but there were so many new zines coming out at the con that I decided to wait -- so read carefully, there a lot of new listings in this issue! Please note Marie Antoine's Pop Stand Express announcement. The Express will be covering much of the same territory as WOTS (though I don't know why UNCLE was excluded) and will probably be out a damnsight more regular than this critter. (Thank you, Marie!).
