Volume 3 Issue 1 is here!

Happy New Year, Barnacle readers, near and far!

We hope you wrapped up 2024 with plenty of relaxation and good vibes.

While the team has enjoyed a well-deserved break from our usual Barnacle activities, we’re coming into 2025 with a bang—and we’ve got some exciting things lined up.

This month, for the first time ever, we’re thrilled to welcome a guest layout editor to the Barnacle team. Jayme Spinks, of Nevermore Press, has stepped up to put together this stellar issue to kick off Volume 3. This marks a fresh and exciting chapter for the Barnacle as our passionate crew of volunteers continues to grow and evolve. (And don’t miss this month’s guest crossword editor, Analia Silveira, who’s back with another creative puzzle! We’ve been alerted to slight print error so be sure to check on the online version for correct number placements for clues 2, 4, 6 and 8)

It’s a great time to get involved with the Barnacle, so if you’ve ever wanted to write, illustrate, edit or help out with admin tasks for the Barnacle, don’t hesitate to shoot us an email.

And, drumroll please… we’re excited to announce the Barnacle Birthday Bowling Bash Celebration and Fundraiser! Join us on February 8 at 3 PM for an afternoon of strikes, spares, and community fun. Tickets are sure to go fast, so grab ‘em while you can.

-Sal Falk, editor-in-chief
