In the search for this month's cover art, we came across a ton of compelling political imagery. All of which has been made available to the public, for the purpose of propoganda. Here are some of the standouts.

cømmentsHello Play,Just wanted to let you know that I love your site and have a suggestion for you. I live in Hollywood next to the Improv on Melrose. I noticed every Wednes-day night, there is a line around the block so I decided to see what's going on and found prob-ably the most amazing comedy show I've ever been to. I've been going for the past few months now. There is a half price guest list that is only $7, and I have seen comedians like Dane Cook, Dave Attell, Daniel Tosh, Russell Peters, Sarah Silverman, and a bunch of really great but not yet

big named com-ics. The company that puts on the show is Comedy Juice and I use guestlist@com-edyjuice.com to get on there half price list. I'm sure you can use the same to contact them. Keep the events coming, this is a really cool source.- Assad, Hollywood

KicK ass GUYs. Seriously, it's very cool. I've given it a little scouring, so I can only come up with three pretty ticky-tacky, minor things I would suggest:

An "at a glance" page, where you could see all the listings at once, in a chronologi-cal order under each topic. Click what you are

interested in and it goes to that page or spread.

The other thing is that the live links don't call out for you to click them. When I first looked at them I didn't realize you could click... maybe just have a little, bright plus sign or arrow next to them? Or... maybe I'm just lame.

Last thing: The icons at the bottom don't let me know what's going to happen when I click. I have to click them to figure it out. Maybe have some kind of roll-over text that tells the user what the icon is for.

But anyway, I think it's pretty rad. You will defi-nitely compete with Flavorpill.-Kristian

was wondering if you were hiring at all in the

near future. I notice there's not much print.

I am a photographer but can also write. Thanks for
