Fish Out of Water

Hey everyone,

Fish Out of Water, "A documentary that explores the impassioned relationship between homosexuality and the Bible," is out now and could be playing near you. Check out the trailer here http://www.fishoutofwaterfilm.com/trailer.html

Kyle Harter, who you all might know and love as Jettison's resident cartoonist, has provided illustrations for the animation in the film, and it looks really great. Congratulations, Kyle.

Kaki King provides the music for the score of the film, as well. Which, of course makes this film a treat for your head, eyes, and ears.

You'll have to wait till December to take a look at Kyle's new Comic in Jettison Quarterly's new issue. Until then, just watch the film and sign up for your free Jettison subscription, it's free after all.

Jettison Hard at Work


Hey Readers,

Jettison is hard at work getting the 4th issue together. We've got a ton of really great material for you to look through. The 4th issue is going to be a fatty. If you haven't signed up for your free subscription yet, get on over to the jettison site and do that now. You wont want to miss the Issue No. 4, due out in December.

We've got interviews with artist Gregory Green, Chicago band Sybris, and with the owner of this place. Here's a sneak peak at what's in store. The photo is of our editor in chief at Czimer's Game and Sea Foods, located out in Homer Glen, IL. They serve up all sorts of strange stuff. Have you ever wondered what lion tastes like? You'll have to wait for the new issue to find out. The Czimer's article will be run as our Discovered Section this time around, complete with an interview with Richard Czimer Jr. and beautifully shot by photographer David Elliott.

There's much more in store, so keep checking back for more sneak peaks.

Jettison Issue No. 3 Release Date


Thanks Readers!

Our fall issue of Jettison Quarterly is in the bag. We've pretty much completed the whole thing. We have been designing a new site for this issue and it looks amazing. I cant wait to put it up and show all of you.

Issue No. 3 will release on September 11th during the day. If you are not already a subscriber and would like to receive the new issue in your email, go to www.jettisonquarterly.com and click on the link for free subscription. Let us know a little about yourself and we'll get the issue to you, hot off the presses.

We are working out the final details for our release party as well. More information to come soon about those, so keep checking back in.

Your support has allowed us to produce another fantastic issue. We have interviews with Kari Lydersen, a reporter for the Washington Post; Chicago-based artist Karl Wirsum and his son Zach Wirsum; Tortoise; J+J+J; Thax Douglas, and so much more. Fashion followers should rejoice especially, as our Fashion Section for fall is huge and absolutely gorgeous. We shot designer Kelly Winter's spread in the upper levels of the Hancock Building! Keep your eyes on that shoot, it features the season 11 winner of America's Next Top Model, McKey, as one of our models.

Without the help of our readers, we couldn't do any of this. Keep passing the word along to friends and family. If you know someone who might be interested in reading Jettison, send them an email with a link to the site and tell them about our free subscriptions, so that they can sign up too.

More info on everything to come, as well as some sneak peaks at the new issue, so stay tuned.
