How can I miss you
if you won’t go away
Well, we tried, we really did, but we will postpone the
walks on the beach, the endless days of reading by the
fire, watching every Cubs game on the old black and
white, maybe carving a rock or two; and get back to
the Mac and the light table. We do thank you for
your many calls and letters of support and praise for
our meager efforts, but you were only partially
responsible for our decision to continue. No, we
admit it’s still too much fun Working with talented
writers and artists, building relationships with small
business owners who either help us distribute the paper
or advertise in it; and getting responses from our
readers, make it worth while But, if we are to continue
we must try to make it a lot simpler for all concerned
To that end, we have taken the down time to work with
Becky Hart on our organizational structure (we don’t
seem to have one). We all, by now, know that the
Edge works in an organic rather than lineal state. That
is, we kind of grew with no real plan other than trying
to do our best for five years. It worked like some
strange co-op like thing, with people coming and
picking up a bundle or two at the bookstore every
month Every month your beloved editor wandering
the streets asking, “Is anyone driving into Portland,
who would drop off the paper?” People sending
money in the mail; no note, just money. Advertisers
raising their own rates. Has anyone ever heard of an
‘alternative’ or ‘underground paper’ (as the Big “O”
called us) being given both a benefit by the American
Legion, and a grant from Earth First?! After five years
we find the Edge has participated in the dialogue, and
the dialogue has spread so that you can get the Edge
in New York at the Strand Bookstore, at City Eights in
San Francisco, and in our nation’s capital We
communicate with readers in Australia.......!! And we
do it quite haphazardly. If this effort is to be
sustained we must do it with less hazard, and more
happily. So, here’s the deal: We will continue
publishing the Edge until the first month of the year
2(X)0; assuming, and this is a big assumption, that it
works for everyone. We will attempt to get into cyber
space with our gentle little rag; Liz Lynch is helping
on that level. You can contact her at
patrickl@pcez.com We will organize our
subscriptions so that you get your paper even if you
change your address; you know who you are. We will
organize our advertising so that you get the correct
bill, and your ad isn't left out because we couldn’t
find it in the pile; again, you know who you are. We
will try to print more copies so that folks who want to
pick it up at one of our drop-off sights, won’t have to
haunt them at the first of the month to be sure of a
copy. We will widen the area we distribute the Edge,
LETT « T M P
so that not only will our advertisers reach a broader
audience, but we will be reaching more folks who will
become our writers, artists, & contributors to the
dialogue Now, for your part. All subscribers: Your
subscriptions are due by May 15th if you want to get
your June paper. Advertisers, same deal, and we will
be asking you about distribution in your business. All
the places where the Edge is distributed, we will be
asking for your advertising support Readers, and you
are the largest group, and can help the most, tell folks
about the Edge, get your boss to take an ad, get that
guy you know who writes or draws really well to send
something in. If you know anyone with a Mac with
more memory than 7.1, or just more memory itself for
our Ilex, we could use it We could use help building
a web page. We could use help writing grants for the
Left Coast Group. We could use a bushel full of
money. And if it all works the Edge will remain
FREE!.
We ramble on but most of our readers know that the
main reason you hold this paper in your hand is that
you couldn’t survive the month without your
horoscopes, and we wouldn’t do that to you,
so......you may now turn the paper over, and we will
wait to continue the info-ads. No, that was wishful
thinking, we know that you have already read your
horoscopes, and those of everyone you know, and now
after pondering the information, your eyes have
begun to wander around the page looking for Sally's
illustrations, or maybe something by the Professor, but
you only have your beloved editor left, so let’s get
back to business.
The Left Coast Group (basically your beloved rev )
has done as it warned, and published “Uncle Mike’s
guide to the Real Oregon Coast, with disturbing
illustrations by Steve McLeod”, and the books are
selling like pigs and pancakes. There is an order form
below, so order quick; we only printed 1000, and a lot
were pre sold The next volume off the press later this
month will be “Letters to Uncle Mike”, and Sally
Lackaff’s “Wildlife on the Edge” is getting polished
as we speak. If you love these folks like we do, we
suggest this is a great way to express it Buy these
books. The proceeds go to the writers, artists and the
Left Coast Group so that we can continue to bring
more voices into the dialogue. They are and will be
available at Jupiter’s Rare & Used Books and Cannon
Beach Book Co., and the White Bird Gallery in
Cannon Beach, and soon in a book store near you.
Especially if you ask for them Also ask your favorite
library to buy a few copies, then you can read them
for free!!

Never make forecasts, especially about the future.
Samuel Goldwyn
BASEBALL
Well, the Cubbies started the season with three
straight losses and a rain out, then two more losses.
Sanberg committed three errors in the first three
games, as many as he committed all of last year.
Grace pulled a hamstring; there’s a new guy in the
booth; and Harry doesn’t go on road trips. It’s going
to be a long year.
