As you've probably noticed, every 30 days or so we put out a brand new issue of this magazine. Today is the eighth time we've done that this year. This month's bundle of knowledge, fashion, fiction, and art is called The Boys of Summer (Ataris Version) Issue. Because fuck Don Henley.We're not going to beat around your bushes with this one. There's too much going on right now (ever heard of a place called England?), and neither you nor I have the time for our usual new issue banter. Who knows when the proletariat will rise up in our own backyard? Could be soon. We've got to get busy fortifying the offices. Those Gatling guns aren't going to mount themselves, you know.So here it is, The Boys of Summer (Ataris Version) Issue:Front of the Book - Everything from kidnapping in Somalia to explosives stuffed in bodily orifices to ritual theater with painNever-Ending Death - A trip to Iraq's Wadi Al-Salam mega-cemeteryAdvice to a Young Man From an Old Man Twice Married - A story by Clancy MartinWrap 'em Up Tightly - Burritos and kidnapped Juarez drug dealers, that isAn excerpt from Live… Suburbia!, by Anthony Pappalardo (not the pro skateboarder man)Li'l Dos & Don'ts - by Vito FunParty Naked - A fashion shoot at a nudist colony.

Probably a good idea to grab your real life issue from one of the fine establishments on this map as quickly as possible. Them things go like hotcakes. Plus, what with the way the world's acting, who knows how much longer your VICE pickup spot will be an establishment and not a burning pile of rubble?
