So, farewell then...

by Felix Velarde, 20 November 2009, 15:24
So, the time has come. Or rather, the untimely end has come. Revolution is taken off the stands, its feature article spiked. It is, in my opinion, a huge shame. I've been involved in the magazine in one way or another – reader, writer, interviewee...
