The new broadsheet MISC magazine was the official last publication produced at the Belltown facility of Pacific Publishing (formerly Murray Publishing, formerly News Publishing). It was pasted up there this morning, following a frustrating weekend during which at least five oh-so-kind Kinko’s employees futilely attempted to push my QuarkXPress pages through their oversize laser printer. Finally, the pages had to be “tiled” on a regular size laser printer and manually pasted together. But it’s all done now, and the mags should be at an outlet near you this week. And for those of you in Seattle, it’s a freebie again.

MUCH MERCH: A new MISC logo merchandise page will appear on this site later this week. First to be offered: The usual T-shirts, tank tops, mouse pads, and mugs. Coming soon thereafter: Postcards and a 2002 calendar based on our photojournalistic works. Watch this space for further particulars.
