Letter from the Editor:

I heard you were looking for me.

Above, I share with you Lil Wayne's immortal words on his latest track with Jay Z: "Mr. Carter." It's clear to me that Weezy was writing about Versus' first return to the racks, or at the very least, would be very pleased that we are expressing our return to greatness through his rhymes. In case you were wonder-ering.

We know, we look a little different than we did last semester, namely because we are now printing side-by-side with The Hustler on Wednesdays. The truth of the matter is, The Hustler and Versus have been an item for quite some time now. It's getting serious; we think we're in love. And Wednesday just seems to be a better day for all parties involved. Now we're giving you even more time to plan what bars you'll hit, what movies you'll see, what new restaurants you'll try. Fill your Vandy planners accordingly, please.

Wait, let's back track. For those new to the Vandy campus, or perhaps new to reading ("I" before "E"? What is this crap?), we are Versus Magazine, THE authority on entertainment and culture on the Vandy campus, downtown Nashville and beyond. To infinity and beyond, maybe. We cover everything from fashion to film, from art and theater to dating advice, and of course, from live music to live music to live music. And because we have several leather bound books and an office that smells of rich mahogany, it's only natural that we talk to some big names in the biz. Just this past week we talked to O.A.R. and Pat Green. Yeah, we're kind of a big deal. You'll find their ingenious answers to our ingenious questions as you continue to peruse our ingenious artsy mag.

We're still up to our old tricks, but we got some new kids, some new ideas and a new look. In fact, new bad-assery abounds.

What can we say? We feel big. Colossal.
