A Letter from the Editor

A Letter from the Editor

June 1, 2017 (December 6, 2022) // Miles Raymer

Content.

It’s all around us. It’s in our computers. It’s in the smaller computers that we carry around in our pockets. The very air you breathe is saturated with powerful radio waves carrying the content that you crave.

Starting today there’s going to be a lot more content happening around here at Riot Fest dot org. Our expanded editorial operation will be bringing you features and interviews with Riot Fest talent, opinions and perspectives from a bunch of super-smart writers, dumb joke posts from our staff idiots, columns of better advice than you should really expect from a punk festival’s website, and pretty much anything else we can think of to cram on this website.

“Like recipes?” you might be wondering.

Yes, maybe even recipes.

Our goal is to give you all of the high-quality content you can handle, and then give you even more, so that you feel like maybe it was a bad idea to take in that much content in one sitting and you might have to lie down.

You’re welcome.
