Howdi-

For those of you who actually remember us, we're back after quite a hiatus. For those of you who still aren't sure who we are- CHERRYBOMB started in 1994 on North Greensboro Street, Carrboro, NC, U.S.A.- ya know neighbor to the place that brought you Michael Jordan of basketball fame and nerd rockers Ben Folds Five, land of the might Tar Heels. We've picked up and transplanted to this side of the big pond, sacrificing a few humid evenings of illegally hopping apartment complex swimming pools, having 2a.m. croquet matches, and raiding recycling center sheds to bring you exciting stories from over here. Who knows, the next issue may be from New York, Los Angeles, Portland, Oregon, or Boston because our British work visas have now expired.

With any luck and funding- in the next CHERRYBOMB:

- the fabulously comtemplated Staplegun Fashion Spread

- more interviews with people you always wanted to know more about

- insight on just how many Wafflehouses Ryan Adams (Whiskeytown of Raleigh) has eaten at in the last year and who really shops at Agent Provacateur- men for women or men who want to be women?...

and other gripping questions!
