Publisher’s Note
As we finish up this September issue, and prepare
to send it to print, people all over the state are still
recovering from massive flood damage, including many
members of our staff. The rains, flooding, power and
communications outages have put us behind schedule,
but everyone pulled together and got the job done. We
took a few days beyond our normal deadline to cover
the Flood, I think this is important enough to merit
that. We have never been late yet, every issue has been
out before the first of the month. As I submit the print
order, I think we will still be on time for September. If
we are late a day or two, I think it was worth it. People
outside our area don't seem to realize the extent of the
damage, we need to show people. Big thanks to Jennifer
Burgess for sending us her collages of arial views of the
flooding. She believes the images used had been freely
distributed and fall under Fair Use, but if anyone has
info on credits due, please let us know.
In other news this month, New Orleans Bike
Week is finally here, September 23-25th. We have not
had a major Rally since Katrina, so we are really hoping
this will be a huge success. They have great plans for
future growth, let's make sure that gets a chance by
supporting this event now.
Susan Wallendal joins our staff this month, She was
previously the Publisher of Full Throttle Louisiana, before
Katrina. She has great experience, and will be helping
us with sales and distribution. Welcome aboard.
