Hey there,

The fall print edition is out in the wild. We’ve dropped stacks at more than 130 spots around town, and there are dozens more on our list. If your copy already has a coffee ring on it, we couldn’t be happier.

Want copies for your business? Know a spot that’s missing out? Running low? Text us at 406-540-PULP (7857). 

Big thanks to Tony Gregori for the rad robot illustration. It sets the tone for the cover package, which asks what we should hand over to AI — and what to keep for ourselves. 🤔 

We've posted a couple of the stories on our website — Ben Fowlkes' profile of Hellgate High's girls' flag football team, and Max Savage Levenson's piece on the new hi-fi listening bar inside the Florence called Shapes. Oh, and the Missoula-themed crossword puzzle, too! 

The rest of the stories are only in print, so find yourself a copy.

Tell us what you think — love notes, gripes, crossword complaints. Just reply to this email.

In the pulpy flesh

Thanks to everyone who turned out for The Pulp: Live!, and to all the performers! It was a blast. A few moments caught by photographer John Stember:
