SUNFLOWER ESQ Issue!

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Yes it is, although for the time being the stores will remain open.

Got my copy as well. Quickly flipped through the pages already ,and it looks great. And for tomorrrow I'm sure it will be a great read as well. 

[ESQ Editor]

Everyone's positive comments are always nice to read…most appreciated.

My 2¢…

David Dalton came through in spades!! It was very cool to see the pictures of each Wilson brother on drums…I really dug it. 

Having Andrew and Peter involved was like having the best of both worlds.  When working on ESQ, it's always a pleasure to put together a quality product, especially about an album of Sunflower's stature.

As far as listening to Sunflower: I highly recommend picking up the Sunflower LP released by Capitol last year; it has a beautiful and crisp sound, and it easily surpasses the CD twofer in quality.

David,

I signed up for a one year subscription through your website and paypal on Jan.22. I haven't received the Sunflower issue yet. Do new subcriptions take longer to get mailed out? Should I be concerned that it has not yet arrived?

[Awesoman]

I agree with the consensus: nice job with this issue.

Maybe the subscription service he uses hasn't notified him yet?

Well done to everybody involved with this special issue - a wonderful reading experience!

Well, that is the kind of answer that I'm looking for from ESQ. Paypal already charged my credit card and I've paid the credit card company. So, everybody has been taken care of except me. I just want to make sure I receive this issue, as it is the sole reason that prompted me to subscribe.

Mine hasn't landed either but I'm not worried (yet) -  takes a while longer to get to Yorkshire than the Emerald Isle I guess!

I'm just outside of Philadelphia, and only a few hundred miles up the coast.

Does make one wonder why he's not at least posting a response; Dave is usually right on top of these things.  I hope he's OK. 

I can always send you my copy to read, until yours arrives; then you can send mine back.

Borders is in reorganization bankruptcy, closing "only" 200 stores, the others will stay open.
Clearance sales at the closing stores could begin as early as this weekend.

Thank you for the offer, but for now I'll wait a little longer, especially since there are some people who haven't received theirs yet in the mail.

Wish All I Wanna Do was written about more...would've been great to have Desper contribute. Those are my only two complaints- otherwise this issue is awesome. I have learned a lot about the mind-set of the band at the time, and that has made me appreciate the music more. Especially Cool Cool Water.

[Paulos]

I feel quite sad that my copy of this will be sat 9000 miles away in a house that no longer has anything to do with me, will have to cancel my subscription.

why aren't you havung your copies sent wherever you're going to be?

[Magic City Surfer]

I just sent in a PayPal payment for my very first issue.

I'm excited about it, I hope there's no trouble getting it.

Folks,

I retired as the co-editor of ESQ several years ago, but I still own the business side of ESQ -- the accounting, posting new subscriptions, etc. -- while Dave owns the creative side.  I do it in my spare time, at night and on weekends (my day job is director of an IT consulting company).  I've been real busy with real work responsibilities and family stuff for the past few weeks, and I'm running about 3 to 4 weeks behind on posting new subscriptions and getting them out the door.  I apologize if anyone is waiting on their subscription, but please realize that ESQ is basically a hobby for me, and sometimes real-life responsibilties get in the way.  Thanks for your patience, and I hope to get caught up on the January renewals/new subscriptions this week.

You can send it to me and I'll gladly hold it for you.  I'm being totally serious. I could hold if for however long you need. Just send me a permanent address when you have one.

Plus, I don't have an ESQ susscription, so it would be a nice oppertunity to borrow one.

Paulos, that's not a problem at all;  send us an e-mail at esqeditor@aol.com explaining the situation, and where we can post you a spare copy, and we'll put another copy in the mail to you.

You could always ask Will Brison to lend you a hand.

Thank you Lee, I have sent an email and will get my parents to send it to me when I have an address in Oz.

No problem, I totally understand.

Ya know, what I don't understand, is how in the world you can get your priorities SO out of tune with the rest of us; I think it should be obvious to you( and Dave) that THE #1 responsibility you have is to ensure the top-speed delivery of ESQ to each and every person that buys it. Family/work be hanged!!
