From The Editor
Welcome to ESQuarterly.com, the online presence for Endless Summer Quarterly magazine.
There's a lot to talk about!
First, the Summer 2009 edition of ESQ is now available; it is a wonderful complement to the Summer Days [And Summer Nights!!] LP... Think of it as a companion piece.

Second, the Fall 2009 edition of ESQ will be available in one month (so much for the term quarterly); it features interviews with Alan Boyd & Mark Linett on the new Beach Boys release "Summer Love Songs," including more insight into the rediscovering of the lost "Shut Down Volume 2" masters as provided by Lance Robison.
Third, the ESQ EAST COAST CONVENTION is a reality!! Those dates are September 11 & 12, and the event will be held in Cornelius, NC. Details will be coming in the next few weeks and will appear in the Fall edition of ESQ, the ESQ Blog page, and on all the various message boards via an official ESQ Press Release.
