Letter from the Editor
At the risk of sounding like we need a shot of self- esteem, we’re working hard at getting noticed. If you happen to be strolling around Downtown Lansing, Old Town or East Lansing, keep an eye out for a bunch of black outdoor REVUE Mid-Michigan paper boxes. Most importantly, be sure to pick one up. (The magazine, not the box. The boxes are pretty heavy. Trust me.)
Aside from outdoor boxes, we’re also spreading across Mid-Michigan and are now available in more locations in Lansing and Mount Pleasant. This month, you’ll also find REVUE at Common Ground Music Festival (July 11-17) in Lansing. We’re psyched to be a sponsor of Common Ground and that means a win for readers: We’ll be giving away VIP tickets for each day of the fest, handing out stylish REVUE t-shirts and checking out rock stars like Melissa Etheridge, who gave us an exclusive interview this month. The t-shirts, by the way, are perfect to wear to the club, while cutting your lawn, painting your living room – or a number of other messy, strenuous activities.
Another local project we’re happy to be involved with is Lansing’s First Fridays. The Greater Lansing Convention & Visitors Bureau put together this idea to support local businesses. On the first Friday of every month you’ll find Lansing restaurants and bars with unique specials, shops and galleries with extended hours, and special events. And for those who don’t have a ride, there’s free transportation on all CATA buses and the Entertainment Express trolley, with service every 15 minutes between downtown Lansing and East Lansing and all that’s in between. It’s all about exploring the fun side of Lansing — something REVUE is dedicated to.
Later on,
