Hello All-
Happy birthday to my niece, Milah, who just turned three years old. Milah, I'd originally planned to write you a series of letters over the last three years, but life got in the way. So far. Just know that I love you, and that uncle Daniel hopes to tell you many more stories, for many days to come.

Announcing The Return Of Tangents Magazine In 2016
When we put together the surprise 20th anniversary issue of Tangents Magazine, I intended it to be one last word on what that magazine was capable of. One more chance to have fun, shake some things up, and say, “We did this, and we’re proud of it.” To my surprise, many of you welcomed us back with open arms. You wrote us to ask when the next issue would be. You asked if you could buy ads in the next issue. When Tangents originally folded in the doldrums of 1998, I thought that someone would surely figure out the formula that the magazine had concocted, and create something to fill that void. Nearly 20 years on, it turns out that it was us all along that would pick up where we had left off. And so it goes…
With that in mind, I’m happy to announce that Tangents Magazine will return in 2016. We’re still working out how many issues we’ll do, but we are looking to return to the newsstands in the spring of 2016. Yes, I said newsstands. We’ll be posting new and archival issues at tangentsmag.com, but we will once again be print-based, in glorious high-end ‘zine quality. Just the way that you, and we like it.
All of that being said, this new era of Tangents needs you, in many ways. While many of us that oversaw Tangents back then wil be back onboard, the magazine has to be more than nostalgia to be relevant. Tangents was, and is a loose collective of people that wanted to create something different. Something that speaks to the collective experience of our lives, what we’re interested, and what makes us want to speak up. Be it now, or in the days to come.
So, if you would like to write, or contribute to Tangents, welcome. Email us at tangentsmag95@gmail.com, and feel free to send us articles, essays, poetry, ideas, or just general thoughts and outbursts. If you contributed to Tangents the first time around, welcome back. Email us, and let the conversation begin again. And if you would like to buy an ad in Tangents, email us. Because creativity and commerce can co-exist, if we allow it to do so.
Thanks for your time, and please check back soon for updates. The future is un-written, so let the story begin, all over again.
See you on the journey.

RIP Tracy Abernethy
On what is another sad day of loss, I wanted to acknowledge the loss of someone I've known for a long time. Tracy Abernethy worked the front door of Charlotte's Double Door Inn for more years than even he wanted to admit to me. It was always good to see him at the top of the Double Door's front steps, and I know that I'll still be looking for him for some time to come, even though he left us for the Great Gig In The Sky two weeks ago. Thank you, Tracy, for all the years of Blood, Sweat & Beers, and for all of the years of friendship. Tell all of our friends up there that I said hello. Be good to all of your friends and loved ones, and see you all on the road.
