2 GROUNDCOVER NEWS GROUNDCOVER letter to the EDITOR Hi Groundcover, I just want to express my appreciation and gratitude for your paper. Not only is it a practical and highly-visible way to help out the vendors (commendable!), it's also consistently class-conscious inside the paper. I love it. I started reading it a couple years back when I picked it up from Ken Parks over at Argus, and then began buying papers off vendors downtown. Today I picked up the Mythology-themed edition, and really really enjoyed Juliano Sanchez' thoughts on godhood, Rome and class war. Truly refreshing and ennobling to find a common consciousness with the vendors. It is very encouraging that Groundcover never lost sight of class issues in the wake of so much identity politics that flew around the last five years. My compliments to the editorial staff and the vendors. Keep up the good work!!! — Jeff Honeyman NOW SHOWING: CRIP CAMP Tuesday, October 17, 5:30 p.m. Movie starts at 6 p.m. Groundcover News office.
