Super Arrow is currently traversing the exotic Pacific Northwest. We recently found ourselves in the port-melee of Seattle's Pike's Place Market, where a fanny-pack'd tourist couple asked us directions to the original Starbucks. We were wearing plaid, so we guess it was understandable to assume. Luckily, we'd seen it earlier and were able to help. Later in the day, we came upon the wonderful Metsker Maps, a humble but emphatically well-stocked shop which offers everything cartographically-inclined. While we let our fingers trace lovingly over globes and compasses, along packages of map tacks and map-printed bookmarks which would hold more than just our place in a book, we thought of the words that filled this place...the ones they could birth...

Megalopoli from radicalcartography.net, a wealth by mapgenius Bill Rankin, who there quotes Jean Baudrillard:

"The territory no longer precedes the map, nor survives it. Henceforth, it is the map that precedes the territory — PRECESSION OF SIMULACRA — it is the map that engenders the territory and if we were to revive the fable today, it would be the territory whose shreds are slowly rotting across the map. It is the real, and not the map, whose vestiges subsist here and there, in the deserts which are no longer those of the Empire but our own: The desert of the real itself."

A few hearts for our Issue No. 1 Contributor Jay Thompson & his spectacular love Cait, both dear dear Arrow friends, on the occasion of their marriage today. Their partnership in artlife is incomparable. Congrats, folks!

"Behind the figure an Om symbol with the end of the letter twirled around it twice and the word Shri written in Devanagari script. Below the figure a grid of letters forms a sacred diagram. The lines forming the grid all end in trident forms. Each square of the grid houses a different letter in nagari."
