China Grooves

A couple weeks ago, Tertius, my girlfriend, and I went to a heavy metal concert. We all had a great time, and Tertius wrote the article I posted a here. (He wrote it, but he insists that I was involved with it as well.)

We never received any reply from the magazine. We expected to get at least
a) Your  article is crap. We're not publishing it.
b) Thanks for sending the article, but we're not going to put it in our magazine.
c) We're publishing your article.

Tertius used to be a sub-editor for a newspaper back in South Africa, so he took a bit of pride in what he had written. Last Friday, he walked into a subway, and saw the December issue of China Grooves on a stand by the wall. He was slightly annoyed that we hadn't been contacted, so he looked through to find out what HAD been put into the magazine.

There was our article. It wasn't the main article. It was just tossed in there with a bunch of others, but there it was. We're still kind of annoyed that they didn't send us any emails, or phone calls, but knowing that a bunch of people are going to be reading that makes it all worth it.

We're going to an amusement park tomorrow to write up another one. hopefullt this time we'll get a message back.
