Lethal Injection eZine Update

"Lethal Injection eZine is taking a temporary break. Details are below."
AZNR has been a constant supporter of this site. Our staff sends good vibes his way. Oh yeah, read the statement below, goofs.

I’m sure some of you are wondering what the hell’s the holdup over at Lethal Injection eZine. Let’s just say that the past few months have seen everything that could possibly go wrong do just that. Originally, these problems looked like they’d present temporary delays, but as we continued to shift the release date back, more things seemed to come up. Personally, I’m at the most chaotic point I’ve ever been in my life, and I can attest that Josh is swamped as well. If I tried to fill you in on everything that’s transpired, you probably wouldn’t believe me - life is definitely stranger than fiction.
So, as much as I hate to say it, it looks like we’re gonna go the way of At the Drive-In and pull a "temporary hiatus." But, we really mean it that way. This has been an amazing experience for us, and we are very intent on trying again at a time when the craziness of our lives won’t inhibit the quality of our work. Maybe it will be a new incarnation of Lethal Injection, but we do expect to be back - hopefully within a few months.
For the time being, I’d like to do my best tear-jerking Academy Award speech and say a few general thanks. To the labels and publicists who helped us get started, hooked us up with more than we’d ever imagined, and exposed us to countless amazing bands, many thanks. To the hardworking punk-related websites that promoted us, advised us, stuck by our sides, and challenged us to work harder, we wish you the best of luck and we’ll continue to support you. Of course, unbelievable gratitude goes out to our readers who contributed insightful material and feedback, kept us on our toes, and turned a casual hobby into an important resource. As I’ve said before, I wasn’t expecting anything when we started this zine, and I’m still really grateful that we were able to reach so many people. I’ve encountered an incredible collection of individuals and experiences just by being a part of this zine, so even though I’m saddened to see it slip away, I know that I was rewarded with a truly unique opportunity.
Finally, I need to extend the world’s biggest thank you to my buddy Josh Stern. Without this guy, I’d just have a bunch of rambling ideas sitting on my computer at home. This zine would simply be impossible without him, and he’s been an incredible web designer, contributor, advisor, and friend. You’ve probably seen at least one of his countless websites (especially his home at punkinterviews.com), but in the middle of his busy schedule he’d always give his all to Lethal. Anyone who remotely enjoyed our zine owes Josh an enormous debt of gratitude.
Alright, I’m long-winded, so I’ll wrap up. Since we have a random spattering of material that would have gone into the next issue, we’ve decided to include it on punkinterviews.com, so keep an eye out for that in the near future. Again, massive thanks to everyone who supported us in any way, and I hope to get back to ranting and raving for you all very soon. Any questions… just let us know. Take care.
