Editor’s Note: I’m very happy to announce the first official SNOW Magazine event, and it’s only fitting that it should revolve around something that I love so much, and that’s of course magazines (but in this case of the print variety). I invite everyone to take a look at the SNOW Magazine Cafe announcement, and to also help spread the word, so that we can bring together an amazing collection of magazines to display.
