Title: London Climber™
Post by: Yossarian on November 10, 2020, 02:06:13 pm: I thought I would put these in one place, mainly so it makes it easier when I talk to investors / discuss advertorial opportunities with A-COLD-WALL and Rick Owens...

Surely there should be an option to pay in Bitcoin?

Good call re BTC.

One eighth of their tweets involves Gresh.

Possible idea for next issue. The London Climber guide to the dankest sends on Southern Sandstone?

Post by: Yossarian on November 10, 2020, 05:00:59 pm: No - it'll be in the next edition, which also features a John Redhead profile by Grayson Perry, plus Robert Macfarlane's essay Giants and Fairies - The Folkloric Mythology of Raven Tor...

I will upload the Meades article when it has been copyedited.

If anybody asks you just cryptically comment that you do limited print runs for those in the know and you need to be referred by a subscriber to get a copy. If you made the articles just ever so slightly less piss-takey people would be going absolutely apeshit trying to figure out how to become cool enough to get a copy.

Wills idea is so perfect it wouldn't be more trashbat if it had been conceived in The Dove...
