It’s 2006, And We’re More Like The Los Angeles Times Every Day!
While reading the Los Angeles Times’ self-important declaration of all that it intends to do in its 125th anniversary year (Sunday’s page A5, not available online), it struck us that all we had to do was make a few changes, and we could recycle the copy for our own use! Here goes:
“Today marks the beginning of Independent Sources‘ celebration of its almost one year anniversary. While it’s a chance to reflect on our past, it is really more of an opportunity to celebrate our long, rich relationship with Southern California and to look to the future together. Throughout 2006, we’ll publish unique, engaging posts, special series and themed sections on the history and the future of subjects such as entertainment, education, cars, fashion, sports, real estate, and more … We will also use the occasion of our almost one year anniversary to introduce innovative design changes that will enhance your reading experience.”
We’re also going to have a book fair, just like the Times, but it will be one of us reading a random selection from the non-fiction section of the Santa Monica Borders.
