Almost a year ago, the idea of this publication was a half joke amongst a few Southerners in a group chat. At some point, one of us said “No, really. We ought to make this a reality.” Even in that relatively short time frame, it has come a long way. They say zero to one is the greatest hurdle.
It ended up being more intensive than we anticipated. Bookkeeping, social media, calendar-keeping, and a hundred tiny other things that go into an endeavor like this. Naturally, we had cautiously optimistic hopes for it. Win, lose, or draw, we were going to make it as good as we knew how. The response to our project has been greater than we could have imagined. It has been nothing short of incredible.
All of this has been confirmation for us to double down on what we’re doing. So many people have had faith in this from the beginning, and for them we are endlessly grateful. Thank you for joining us on this ride - but we have 93 octane and we are barely out of first gear.
