Greetings Friend,

Here we are. After lots of hard work, approximately 37 bottles of Coca-Cola and just as many debates about the health risks of high fructose corn syrup, we can finally give you the first issue of Takeout Magazine. Countless conceptual hours went into our online publication; many of these ideas are still coming to fruition, which has us very excited.

For our premiere issue, we got fat in Memphis while enjoying the music of Gonerfest 5, scoured the web for holiday gift ideas, sifted through spam folders for Paris Hilton headlines, and reminded you that on November 23rd you can get a free Dr. Pepper thanks to Axl Rose. All of these wonderful things and more are available for your perusal within these magical pages.

The older we get the more we’ll change and take shape. We welcome your feedback and suggestions, so don’t hesitate to email us your thoughts. Thank you for visiting and please come back as often as you’d like.

Michael Garrido

Editor-In-Chief
