Blueprint: I like it

I got my copy of Blueprint and finally got to read it once I got the husband off to a conference. I have to say, I like it (as I thought I probably would). It starts with the girl on the cover (in a C. K. Bradley skirt!) and ends with a Curtis Sittenfeld essay, and in between there is just lots of fun stuff. Whether or not they actually did -- it seems like the editors and staff must have had fun (and hard work, but fun) putting this together. There are several things I want to try out, which is always the mark of a good mag for me. We'll see how the next few numbers go, but this is a good start.
