How Thirsty Are You?
**************************
UNDERGROUND PUBLICATION ASKS: HOW THIRSTY ARE YOU?
(Chicago, Ill.) - In a small section of concrete where Chicago's
Schiller and Wells streets intersect lies a manifesto so inconspicuous
people walk over it every day, blind to the power beneath their feet.
The etching reads "Stay Thirsty." The inscription inspires an
insatiable rock n' roll lifestyle and the publication, Thirsty,
launching September 2006.
"The founders of this magazine are driven by passion and a 'thirst'
for knowledge," said J.D.Wilkes. "However, they carry a torch for a
much more profound reason than just simple curiosity. Theirs is a
special mission to carry on a great legacy; to cherish the fragility
of life and chronicle both its nuances and its extremes. Stay
Thirsty!"
"Stay Thirsty" is more than a philosophy. It's a call to arms. Founded
in beloved memory of Ryan Licht Sang, a shining young musician,
artist, and writer, Thirsty will serve as a platform for other
undiscovered artists. Renowned artist and performer Col. JD Wilkes of
Th' Legendary Shack Shakers is also lending a hand - literally. Wilkes
designed the logo for Thirsty and plans to offer his Southern gothic
vision as a continuing contributor.
Operating from a truly virtual platform, Thirsty's grasp starts at
street level and continues underneath, where the most deserving art
resides. Propelled by the philosophy espoused by Ryan Licht Sang,
Thirsty's pull will draw upon the insights, impressions, opinions and
expertise of its artists without regard for convention.
We invite you to slip beneath the cracked cement of society's streets
and discover the pulse of the underground. We invite you to Stay
Thirsty.
Thirsty.
