An Iguana book launch celebration!
by Joe Courter
Oct. 1, 2025, will mark 50 years to the day that I drove into Gainesville with my stuff, starting a new chapter in my life. And it has been a great ride. This town was a perfect fit and the opportunities just came my way. Publishing the Iguana since 1986 was not a planned effort beyond the initial malaise newsletters but here we are, printing 5,000 copies this issue.
Since 2012, I have been doing a Publisher’s Note, and I figured it was the time to compile them into a book, so that is the plan: Wednesday, Oct. 1, First Magnitude Brewery, 1220 SE Veitch St.
The intent is to not only have books there, but also, all those years of Pub Notes displayed to meet and greet each other. You are a broad family of loyal ones to thank, and hope, with the help of a few microphones and some modest food, we can have a celebratory meeting of the minds of the readers, the friends, and fellow subscribers. This is community building!
You know I love it!
There will be pizza and salad provided.
Hopefully the weather will be nice for sitting outside. Books will be available and about at 7:15pm and there about, a few words will be shared. There is no charge.
