Any day now, many of you will start receiving your pre-ordered copies of IV: the Sounder at Heart magazine. If you chose the pick-up option, your chance to get your hands on it is Friday (Feb. 20) at our launch party. That’s from 5-9 PM at Project 9 Brewing Co., a family-friendly establishment in the Maple Leaf neighborhood.
In case you needed any extra motivation to show up, cover boy Andrew Thomas will be there from 6-7 PM and the Leagues Cup trophy will also be available for selfies from 6-8 PM.
If you haven’t already ordered, you can still buy yours. In addition to the cover profile on Thomas by Tim Foss, there’s also a feature on Cristian Roldan by Charles Boehm, a Q&A with Brian Schmetzer, a statistical deep-dive on the Sounders’ improved offensive output by Cat Bush, a look at how women’s soccer has become big business by Susie Rantz and a column about the impact the World Cup may have on Seattle by G. Willow Wilson. There’s also a schedule that combines the Sounders, Reign and Defiance in one place; roster pages for the Sounders and Reign; and even a crossword puzzle.
Having now seen it in person, I can confidently say that I think you’re going to really love it.
