Dear Joe,
As one of your many senior readers, let me tell you how grateful I am for your larger type size. Its not as large as the large print books at the library, but considerably bigger than most newspapers. This may not be that big a deal for a lot of folks, but for others it could be the difference between enjoying a publication and skipping it for something easier on the peepers.
While other publications seem to be getting smaller and smaller, I’m glad to see The Regular Joe holding fast to its standards.

Dear Mel,We appreciate your kind words and yes, we’ve heard from others expressing gratitude about our font size. We’d like to tell you it was a carefully thought out decision, but we have to fess up. Bumping the size a point or two is a carefully disguised plot to stretch the content. This saves us something like half a page per issue. Thank goodness we get the contributions we do, or the whole thing could look like this:Thanks for reading,Joe
Dear Joe,
We love your live music calendar, but we notice some venues seem to be a little hit or miss, and some are missing completely. What gives?
Music Lover
Dear Lover, (Sorry, too intimate?)The Regular Joe is committed to promoting live music. We ask, we prod, we cajole, to get bands and venues to email us their bookings. There is no charge whatsoever for this service, all we ask is that you email it to us. Some send it to us regularly, for others its like pulling teeth to get the info. Please, if you’re in a band or follow a band, if you run a venue or just hang out in one, please send us your calendar so we can include it in ours. No karaoke or DJ nights though, just live music. Our goal is to be the number one source for it in St. Joe, but we need your help.Joe
