Past Issues

If January 1st marks the Gregorian New Year, and the Chinese New Year falls somewhere

between January 21st and February 20th, then the nine days of SXSW may as well serve as

our New Year, when a collective eye turns to the city we call home to take stock of what’s

changed, what’s stayed the same, and what’s worth listening to.

Since our last issue, our family has grown immensely, in large part due to the success of

those already here and, in all likelihood, you. Whether you are a partner, a friend, an artist

we’ve been lucky enough to showcase in our gallery, a Preacher family member or an actual

family member, our success is because of you.

Thank you.

We are extremely lucky to have surrounded ourselves with so many exceptional people of

extraordinary talent who allow our house to grow through a divine mixture of insatiable

hunger, unflinching kindness and endless effort. The reward is hand-crafted, full-flavored,

female-empowering, male-comforting, life-welcoming, cold-brewed, bullshit-free work for

our partners that we can’t help but subliminally shout out in our opening note.

That said, you will not be seeing any of it here.

Because the following pages give us the immense pleasure of taking a break from spreading

our own good word to instead spread the good word of friends whose talents we hold very dear.

Through a number of mediums, you’ll find that all of those included have something to say,

and, as always, we’re lucky to hear it. Consider this collection our annual offering to you, so you

may take stock of what’s changed, what’s stayed the same, and what’s worth listening to.
