Letter from the Editor

To preface this letter, I feel that I have to say that I love all of the issues of Versus equally. In my proud Mama opinion, every issue is packed with witticisms, coverage of the best new music out there and ideas on what to do and see in Nashville. Yet, I have to say that this issue might be one of our best. And I think I'm right.

Why, do you ask? Well, as you might have noticed when you grabbed your copy of the artsy mag, our cover interview is with funnyman and director-of-the-moment Kevin Smith. If you don't know the director/ actor/ writer by name, you will certainly recognize his projects, which including classics like "Jay and Silent Bob" and "Clerks," and the upcoming Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks comedy "Zack and Miri Make a Porno." If you read nothing else today - schoolwork, list serve emails from your Bio class, text messages, etc - read this interview. It will change your life, or at the very least make you laugh. This guy has jokes for days.

What else? It just so happens that my favorite holiday is taking place this Friday. Finally! I've been drawing Jack-O-Lanterns in my notebooks during class for like two months. In preparation for the festivities, Versus has devoted an entire page to Halloween. We even used creepy fonts for our headlines. Our coverage includes the best Halloween movies, Halloween costume ideas - even some kooky tunes to get you in the mood.

I will prepare by watching "Hocus Pocus" on repeat for the next 78 hours. What about you?
