June 19 issue reaches you like thumping state fair music wafting into your backyard from all the way across town

This summer is something else. There's so much going on, so many locals writing books and releasing CDs and developing community and whatnot, that it's all we can do just to cram it all into the mag.

This ... biweek? ... V1 tackles pedestrian culture and safety in Eau Claire; new band Nameless Feeling (think ambient music from metalheads); local veterans The Jim Pullman Band's new CD; Janice Durand's documentary about the Northern Wisconsin State Fair, Fair Is Something You Take a Pig To; UW-Eau Claire's Summer Shorts film series; kids learning golf and life skills through The First Tee; several local restaurants/bars adding patios, which may or may not have anything to do with Eau Claire's impending smoking ban; the grand opening of the Ager Association's resource library; and upcoming shows by artists such as QuinnElizabeth (has a new CD out), The Softrocks, and Chastity Brown.

BONUS: Have a listen to a few touring bands in the valley this weekend (in addition to our many talented locals):

The Histronic
Blue Sky Canopy
TUGG
The Eugene Smiles Project
The Breakfast

Check the issue for the when and where.
