If you live in the Bay Area and don’t already know about Fireworks yet, you should head straight to the nearest infoshop and pick up a copy of the first issue. They’ve already accomplished goals that Slingshot has been struggling with for years: they have an unbelievable roster of high-quality on-point radical articles, a beautiful and intuitive layout, and a seamless web integration. They even have a pun in their title! They’re actually a little similar to Slingshot in the early days, when we focused on Bay Area anarchist news, but they’re definitely more geared for the 21st century, and are far less focused on UC politics. It’s super exciting to see the new member of the region’s anarchist media ecology, and I can’t wait to see the next issue!
Pick some up at The Holdout (San Pablo & 23rd, Oakland), The Long Haul (Shattuck & Woolsey, Berkeley), or presumably any other radical media distro center in the area, or check them out at http://fireworksbayarea.com
