<div class="Body1">
We can track the forecasts, eyeballing the weather askance as
any animal might keep tabs on a neighboring predator. A hail of umbrellas sailing
up and down a city street. Shadows that will not explain themselves. A thunder
god striking out with a bolt of anger. Thermometers, barometers, and the
weatherman, the resulting divination and their sums posted and printed and
explained in every possible media.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Body1">

<div class="Body1">
We can talk about the weather. Whether we stay together, whether
we drift apart. A pocket of air becomes a roller coaster becomes a death
becomes a career. A modern monster blows in and out, turned out in a grey suit
and leather oxfords. Houseplants have gone rogue in lush rainforests, gaining
impossible circumference in heavy rains. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Featuring All Weeklies!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Just out...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The Folks Press Weekly is an impression of things, large and small, happening in the world, on a weekly basis. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">For instance, a camera points at two dogs lounging on a sidewalk. The dogs respond, taking positions. And they strike a pose. Which begs the question: what do dogs know about cameras? More than we think, apparently. Albeit they think about it like a dog. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Worlds are right in front of us, brushing shoulders, absolutely anywhere. Just because we don’t notice something doesn’t mean it isn’t there. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">"For me, this is a landmark issue, perhaps the landmark issue. This is the first issue since the redesign, hell, since I started, where I've been able to play media mogul."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Arthur Chang, Folks Press Chief Publishing Officer, has picked out his favorite Weeklies and performed magic to make a one of a kind FP issue! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">A tsunami falls from the sky, one drop at a time. Over the mountain pass are crayon earth and Kandinsky hills and Mohawk rims and blue basins and stone cats and galactic rocks and golden plants. Someone cries out: vocation, vocation, a kingdom for my vocation. While another whispers, all great loves will to some extent be stumbled upon.<br /><br />We are always dreaming, dreaming, dreaming. <br /><br />Try these existential recipes! Toss together men and women sharing a bathroom while an elderly woman collects a toll. Stir in a “crazy person from the wrong side of the tracks” who becomes a circus ringmaster. Watch as stones transform into stars. The doctor is: IN. Dreams. Daydreams. Night terrors. A stranger tells a woman that he has just seen a guy walk by wearing the same blue sundress that she is wearing. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What was he dreaming…?</span><br />

-</style>An art deco funeral parlor from the 1940s becomes a mortgage company. One business deals in mort, the other in mortgage. A grey suited bank becomes a dance club. The club sells booze and the bank sells money, while both have rooms for smoking cigars. A car repair shop in a lofty garage becomes a furniture store. Changing oil steps aside for changing sheets. A movie theater becomes a drug store. Both sold pain relief, M&Ms, and popcorn.<br /><br />Every day, it’s underneath our feet. Rock and sediment pile atop each other, spiky shale atop crumbling sandstone, sandstone atop conglomerate rock. Once there was an ocean and eerie fish and now there is a desert and mesas lit by a tangerine sunlight. Once Idaho was a coastline, now it’s an inland. <br /><br />It’s above us. We stand in weather, the clouds roil and the rain falls. Above that, ultraviolet rays absorbed and silver airplanes fly. Above that, reigns the cold. And above that, air thins, astronauts float, and atoms drift into space.<br /><br />The world is layers. </div>

Welcome to the Momentary Zeitgeist, the autobahn of the mind, a speeding
stock car racing toward a vanishing point. Sunbathe on a nanosecond, swim
in the data pool, take advice from a silicon dot, answer when called. Relish
the jiffy.<br />
<br />
This issue of Folks Press, we have birds and bugs and booms. Accordions,
melodicas, and Leo. But there won’t be any Weeklies over the holidays. You
can’t get everything you want, sadly, even in the Momentary Zeitgeist.

Folks Press has remodeled everything, top to bottom.<i> Zounds!</i><br />
<br />Browse the new bookshelf. Every issue spine is on display, past to present. Check. Breeze from story to story, left to right across our new super snappy pages. Check. We're beaming the signal, locating that vibe of a new Folks Press. Check.<br />
<br />Swing by the Weekly communiqué. It’s brand new. The Weekly presents in one location all the most current short films, blogs, and specials. Every week! That includes the old features, such as Proud Owner and 32 Seconds. And the new, such as B-Roll and Quips and Please Call, which are the briefest animation, the latest in street talk, and myriad lost things.<br />
<br />Check....<br />
<br /><i>We did this to make Folks Press simple and beautiful. We did this to make things easy to find. We did this because it’s fun.</i><br />

for the second half of september. We've been working on a brand new
website for the past month-and-a-half. There will be a new design, new
content, and new folks.<br />
<br />
More information will follow, but we are really excited about our new
weekly publication. It will replace the blogs and FP Unplugged, while
giving us more flexibility in our publishing. What that all means is
that you can expect new and unique content evey week as we experiment
with new concepts and whacky presentation.<br />

a fragrant combo of candy-cigarette-corndog? And what’s that sound?
Does someone really serenade in a street-Beethoven and Vandyke and
Cheshire smile... with that keyboard and those songs? And what happens
after the hammy opening-the-door <em>schtick</em> is over? It’s all exits and entrances.

Esteemed Readers—</div>
<div class="Body1">
There’s the raw. And there’s the cooked. Between those
two the appetite turns. We’ve been cookin’ stories. We’re now dishin’ up
the raw. The uncooked. Folks Press is fully the raw and the cooked.
‘Cause we’re <em>on the case, see</em>.</div>
<br />
<div class="Body1">
Introducing <strong><a href="http://folkspress.squarespace.com/unplugged/" style="font-size: 130%;"><em>Folkspress Unplugged!</em></a></strong> <em>Where we publish the uncooked story.</em> </div>
<div class="Body1">
<a href="http://folkspress.squarespace.com/32-seconds/"><strong>32 Seconds</strong></a><br /> <em>Fastest story in the West.</em> <br />
We grab folks right where they are, point a camera, and they go after
it! Watch peeps tell a story in under a minute. The clock is ticking….</div>
<div class="Body1">
<a href="http://folkspress.squarespace.com/from-the-editors-desk/"><strong>From The Editor’s Desk</strong></a><br /> <em>Diamonds in the rough.</em> <br />
We’re digging though the FP wastebasket for whatever stories, photos,
and illustrations that never got published. But still have somethin’
goin’ on. Who knows why they didn’t make it. Maybe… the subject fell off
the earth. But like love that lingers well after, there is still
something there. And we’re gonna publish it.</div>
<div class="Body1">
<br />While you’re at it, enjoy the fully seasoned features of Issue 6. There’s <em>Mystery Train</em>, HO scale romancing engineers. There’s <em>Sea Change, Rich and Strange</em>, a desperate beachcoming. There’s <em>I’m Into Scenes, Man</em>,
musing on the problem of the muse: painting and love, painting and
people. There’s Featured Attraction, a collection of lawn art so unlike
the gnome. And there’s Opposite Day, a press conference that delivers.</div>
