Geek Monthly magazine is really, really cool in principle, and seems to be targeted at me personally. It looks funny and informative, complete with articles with high geek appeal and allegedly has hot geeky chicks on the cover. In short: the greatest magazine ever.

The problem?

Like other cool things that seem to be aimed directly at me (e.g. sasquatches [sasquii?], zombies, vampires, succubi, unicorns, etc), I've yet to see any first-hand evidence that it even exists. Several of the newsstands I visited actually knew of its existence, yet were mysteriously unable to locate any actual copies. ("We should have a bunch of them... I'm not sure why they aren't on the racks.") The rest just looked at me as if I were crazy. I'm beginning to think they were right.

I eventually just caved in and subscribed via their suspiciously sucky website. While they took my money over two months ago, I've still yet to lay my hands on a copy. I got a response when I enquired via email, informing me that they had "just gone out" and that I should have my first issue "any day now."

That was two weeks ago.

Does this magazine exist? Am I ever going to see a copy?

Only time will tell.
