For us, the Fourth of July signals the official beginning of summer. Concentrate will be taking two weeks off to rest, recuperate, and grill stuff. Enjoy our country's star spangled celebrations and check out our Independence cocktail recipe.
Dear Concentrate Readers,
Summer may officially start in June but the Fourth of July feels like the beginning.
To wit... the writers, editors, photographers, programmers, support staff, and office massage therapists (we wish!) at Concentrate will be taking two well-deserved weeks of rest, recuperate, and honor the things that make our country great.
We hope you too will enjoy this coming 4th of July with family, friends, and neighbors.
Thanks for reading our magazine and please feel free to give us your thoughts, ideas and complaints. My email box is always open!
In the meantime, we offer up a delicious Fourth of July cocktail, as well as some patriotic movie suggestions.
We'll see you again on July 21 with a brand new issue of Concentrate.
