From the
EDITOR
Happy Thanksgiving, y’all!!! Love love love this holiday!!! No gifts for second
cousins twice removed or stressing about if you forgot Aunt Mildred’s present.
Just food. Drink. Food. Family. All you do is bring the bottle and do the dishes.
Unless you are the host and then you have some stress going. Good luck with
that! Oooh, what time is din din??
You may have noticed that this month’s cover is a bit bloody! For the squeamish,
I apologize. For the other 99% of the planet who live and breathe for the Tybee
Island Zombies and The Walking Dead every Sunday night, we wanted to do a
special feature. Paul Cales and Becca Smeltzer really outdo themselves every
month for our morbid entertainment. Their story includes all of our favorite Tybee
people and is so believable at being a true possibility that when it does happen, I
am calling them first (actually I’m calling Johnny and Cheryl Kerby first because
they are the smartest zombie avoiding people I know)!
This cover shoot was so much fun! If you don’t recognize the people on the
cover it is because Baylie McNally is the best makeup artist ever (she knocked
out five people in two hours) and our own Rick Flynn is a magician with his
bloody wand! Huge thanks go out to (from left to right) Jay Altman, Bobby King,
Howard Viar, Garrett Kammeraad and Carrie Fletcher. So many people helped
from the behind the scenes too (this stuff just doesn’t just happen). Nell Klein
got bloody helping out as did Rudy Rudon, who loaned us necessary supplies,
while Samantha Davis at Rip Tide Bar on the Pier was awesome (one cannot do
great art without a great margarita and duct tape), and Mac McLellan aka Chief
Chief was also on hand with Paul Cales himself (I hear if you buy Paul a drink,
he will write you into the story…). Also, a huge shout out to the Tybee Island
Fire Department for providing a beach wheelchair for us to use and for everyone
standing around watching the blood fly for not calling the police department.
Lastly, but never least, we have been receiving just flat out awesome Traveling
Beachcomber pictures! I was accosted last week about when I was going to get
to a certain person. Keep your flip flops on y’all!!! We are working as fast as we
can and I do try to go in the order from which they were received. Can’t really
complain about our awesome readers inundating me with fantastic pictures. So,
bear with me, kids! November belongs to Traci James and Jacky Yglesias, who
went to Grenada last Thanksgiving to visit Traci’s son, Nicholas, who is attending
St. George University there. How cool is that! Love that picture and thanks for
taking us with you! Call me and off to A-J’s we go!!! Seriously, you don’t have
to take me, but why wouldn’t you? I’m super entertaining (I don’t really eat that
much)! LOL!!!
Let’s get to it, y’all! The temperature is just fine and there is plenty of parking
for one and all. Make me a margarita on the rocks, no salt, Luis aka Chiquilin of
Agave fame, and off we go … turn that page …
