i love the hey colin story, the expose on c o g, and my horoscope i weird! i'm a capricorn and a happy chipper one, anyway your horoscope is usually right.much L&R Amanda M. in detroit.
Dear Jane. you have outdone yourself this isse. the other day, in my head i thought to myself "hmm..they should really put zooey d on the cover and make a road trip article" and then..voila. congrats on a great issue.
This is going to sound sad coming from an intelligent, mature soon to be college graduate but when I saw Zooey on the cover of your new issue in Wal-mart I literally screamed and tackled my fiance in excitement. I then of course bought it right away =)
I just loved the Northwest road trip article in the June/July issue. Scharffen Berger is my all-time favorite chocolate. I never knew that you could go on a free tour there at the factory until I read this issue.
This is one place I wouldn't mind dumpster diving for ther "rejects".
When your mother sends back all your invitations And your father to your sister he explains That you're tired of yourself and all of your creations Won't you come see me, Queen Jane? Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Now when all of the flower ladies want back what they have lent you And the smell of their roses does not remain And all of your children start to resent you Won't you come see me, Queen Jane? Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Now when all the clowns that you have commissioned Have died in battle or in vain And you're sick of all this repetition Won't you come see me, Queen Jane? Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
When all of your advisers heave their plastic At your feet to convince you of your pain Trying to prove that your conclusions should be more drastic Won't you come see me, Queen Jane? Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
Now when all the bandits that you turned your other cheek to All lay down their bandanas and complain And you want somebody you don't have to speak to Won't you come see me, Queen Jane? Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
I grew up with Sassy and then felt I was "too old" for Jane when it forst came out...well, I am back and you are my favorite magazine! Thanks for keeping me hip
