Beatdom Update

51 pages and counting...
We now have an interview with Ken Babbs, the legendary Merry Prankster, friend of Ken Kesey, Neal Cassady and The Grateful Dead. He seems enthusiastic about the project.
Zane Kesey, Ken Kesey's son, has also agreed to do an interview, and that will hopefully go ahead during the week.
Diane di Prima, Beat poet, has declined to be interviewed, but has sent the magazine a signed copy of her newest book, and wishes us all the best.
Beat biographer and author of Beat, Chris Falver, has given us his blessings and sent a host of photographs for the magazine.
We now have four poets, two photographers, one artist, two graphic designers, and several writers.
Ms. B. is about to start redesigning the front cover with Photoshop. Our old one, designed be me, is decent enough, but doesn't reflect the fantastic quality of the inner depths of Beatdom.
