LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR
Mercury Falling
Giving a nod to the guys who give it all to be great dads – cool. Photographing them in black and white for the Film Issue – cool. Designing the story to look like old movie posters – cool. Awesome cover. Awesome magazine. ’Nuff said. Brent Logan Oklahoma City
Right in Tune
I’m right there with you on almost every one of your song selections this month (“They’re Playing My Song,” June 2012)! I thoroughly enjoy your column, so keep up the great work. Lesa Shriver via email I love Slice Magazine, so I’m going to forgive you, even though I hold you responsible for “Having My Baby” playing in my head for three solid days after I read Lauren Hammack’s Last Laugh article. Laugh plenty I did! In retaliation, I have only two words for you: Funky Town. Roxanne Smith Edmond
Art as Life
I came across your magazine when I spent a few days in Oklahoma City this past April. As an artist, I was very interested to see what Slice was all about (The Artist Issue, April 2012). I really enjoyed reading about your local talent, but one article hit home for me.

Artists everywhere are overwhelmed with requests to donate a piece of art to this charity or that charity, and the ones doing the requesting think it’s a great tax writeoff for us. Don’t get me wrong; we love to help good causes, and most of us know that these fundraisers are a great marketing opportunity for us, but I hope your “Give and Take” article helps people realize that it’s not all a bed of roses. It’s not that we don’t want to help a not-for-profit, do-gooder organization, it’s that we’re trying not to be nonprofit artists. This is, after all – if we’re really, really lucky – how we make our living! Isabel Johansen Denver, CO
