Hey everyone!  Welcome to the third anniversary issue of the BUBBLES 'zine.  It's hard to believe that over three years ago I began typing the first issue of the 'zine. I remember it very clearly. It surely was not the best issue, in fact, it was the worst. Slowly, but surely, BUBBLES has blossomed into what it is today, continuously growing. In the words of The Pixies, "I'm amazed." Throughout the years, BUBBLES has become more known and enjoyable then I could have imagined. Naturally, it took work, but what doesn't? Eagerly searching the world wide web of BUSH for news, facts, info, articles, interviews, plus relying on contributions and no doubt relying on my own mind to put down my knowledge and thoughts on paper isn't always easy. I don't get paid for BUBBLES; I write BUBBLES because I love BUSH, and I love to write. You know, hey, why not put them together? Obviously, I am not the only one who has made such a fabulous realization of this concept. The BUSH community is packed with excellent writers, webmasters, but best of all, fans in general. Gavin said it himself: "We have the best fans in the world." I'm so honored to have had the opportunity to work with such wicked cool people. BUSH has brought us together with their music.  Because of them, I now have some sort of realization as to what I may do for a living one day (journalism).

Everyone, thanks for reading BUBBLES. Thank you for your many contributions and wonderful comments- they really keep me going. Thank you to all the other 'zines editors out there, especially in the Bush Positive Community. I don't know how long this 'zine is going to be around. Of course, there are days I don't want to think about the 'zine, but in the long run, it's been a very cool.

Also, thank you to God, my friends and family, all of the subscribers, Jennifer Nine, Jan Pulsford, Meera, Cheri, Kathy, Sandra, amBUSH, Brian, Lisa, everyone!

And of course, my thanks to BUSH. No, you didn't keep me from killing myself. You didn't keep me from doing anything. I have done so much more- I've grown into a new person and learned so much (mostly about music) from you guys. Some may say this is just a [long] phase, but hey, I'm loving it. Without you there would be no BUBBLES, and I probably would not be able to type so fast.

Thank you for your time and patience.

Nothing dazzles me,
Reena

wow that all sounded really corny!
