A Little Press for the MC



Last week, during our exile, Richmond, VA's Brick Weekly published a short piece on the creation and continued existence of Makeout Creek. They don't seem to be updating their website, so hopefully the grainy iPhone picture above will give you a sense of things? In any case, thank you to Brick and to author Jon Sealy for the nice article -- and especially for validating our favorite turn of phrase (we use it as the title for our website) by printing it in really, really big letters!

Dear New Yorkers

We seem to have lost our retail location in your fair state. We sure aren't happy about it. But have no fear: we were already at work on new locations in New York City and Buffalo. We'll keep you updated as these get settled.

In the meantime, if you're in New York and you've got an itch to buy an issue of Makeout Creek, please make sure to visit our website.

Yrs Sincerely,
MC
