Broadside #24 has finally been printed! Thanks and congrats to all contributors! Come to the Soggy Bottom Bar tonight at 6pm to pick up some copies. Hope to have it to all other regular distribution locations by the end of the weekend.

Hi. We are meeting tonight at 6 pm at the Soggy Bottom Bar. We have an updated and super-almost-final draft of #24 to go over and prepare to send to the printer! For realz! See you tonight!

New Flint curfew rule could ban unsupervised minors from July 4 fireworks, summer festivals Unsupervised minors could be facing a 6 p.m. curfew during special events in the city of Flint, starting with a Thursday, July 3, fireworks show.

We won't have a completed draft until mid-July at the earliest.

We apologize for the endless delays, but as you all know we are at the mercy of each other's time. Several of us will be going on vacation, and there just isn't time to complete #24 before we bounce.

Our next meeting will be Wednesday, July 16 at 6 pm at the Soggy Bottom. We'll see where we stand at that time—as our predictions of publication dates are as credible as the boy who cried, "wolf!"

Anyhow, enjoy yourselves and see you in July!
