Someone once said that everything said when drunk has been thought out before. If alcohol indeed inhibits expression, it certainly would explain why so many great writers and painters were major alcoholics. If alcohol did indeed inhibit self-expression, what would a magazine look like composed entirely by drinkers? This was the Swiss cheese logic behind the Vital 5 Review.
Clipboards with blank paper hang behind the bar. Several pint glasses line the counter, filled with black pens bearing the Vital 5 Review insignia. It's easy. Grab a drink, pick up a clipboard and see what happens. Tell stories, draw, confess, make shopping lists and love letters and Haikus and comic strips. Do whatever you like. When you are done, drop your submission in the mahogany box that mounts to the south wall.
We receive over 600 submissions per issue and carefully weed through the sheets of beer stained paper looking for jewels both small and large. Everything is copied. A pair of sharp scissors and a glue stick are put to work. And somewhere in the fog of chaos and cocktails, a magazine emerges.
We are very proud of the Vital 5 Review. Pick up a copy of our latest issue and judge for yourself. If you don't like it, pick up a pen and contribute your own story, confession or drawing. We just do the cutting and pasting.
The Vital 5 Review is free and only available at The Hideout.
