SANDCASTLES season, WINE o'clock

Hello Mystics,

It is summer and the air is awash with lollygaggery.

Inhale. Can you feel the sunshine seeping into your lungs? As it reaches your mind, do you find your thoughts addled and sluggish? Hold your breath. What is this messy urgency that builds up inside your veins? A celebration that demands to be expressed? A feverish need to simultaneously create and destroy?

Exhale.

SANDCASTLES AND WINE is upon us!

Please know these dates:

• SUBMISSIONS are due Thursday, July 10. Send your stuff here: bit.ly/iammystic

• ADVICE QUESTIONS are due July 3. Send those to Sky at [email protected]. 

In old news, thanks to all who celebrated Lipstick and Laundromats with us! We were immensely proud of this issue. The specificity and personality of each contribution was a delight to behold.

We love you guys. See you around!

Aliza and John and Corry
