Whim Issue #2 Production: On Target!

There are many steps involved in the production of a high-quality, paper-based, comedy-entertainment product. Right now we, the diligent staff of Whim Quarterly, are firmly rooted in step #57 (paring down references to the French Revolution) and looking toward step #58 (increasing the number of knock-knock jokes). In other words, we’re right on schedule.

Other key steps involved in this very difficult process:

  • #18 – Experimenting with the replacement of the standard four color CMYK printing process with the highly controversial 21-color IMNDGOWYEIGNDLDIGPQDX printing.
  • #96 – Visiting local Masonic Temple and having high priests copy-edit the Contributors section.
  • #163 – Tweeting about what Dame Judi Dench decided to wear to the SAG Awards.
  • #7221 – Staff pizza party (no gluten, no dairy, no meat, no black olives).

As you can see, we have quite a ways to go, but Whim Issue #2 should be in the mail around March 15th.

Whim Quarterly Launch Party

Tuesday, December 15, 2009
8:00pm – 10:00pm
Three of Cups Lounge
83 First Avenue
New York, NY

We’re just days away from unleashing Whim, our new humor magazine, upon the world and who knows what will happen? Will humanity be forever changed for the better? Or will the magazine do what Robert Oppenheimer feared the atomic bomb would do, namely ignite the atmosphere and incinerate us all?

On the off chance that the Earth is not reduced to ashes, join us for the Whim Quarterly launch party. We’ll have $4 drinks and, as entertainment, a stand up show hosted by TV’s Kevin McCaffrey and featuring Whim contributors:

Elliott Kalan
Josiah Madigan
Matt Pack
Matt Passet
Greg Volk

Plus SPECIAL GUESTS Jared Logan and Luke Cunnningham

AND EXTRA SPECIAL GUEST Wyatt Cenac of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart

Consider it an early Christmas celebration, only with more booze, more laughs and a lot more tears.

Hope to see you there!
