Oxford American Best of the South DVD #2 from Oxford American on Vimeo.

Like A Chicken-Fried Phoenix Rising From The Ashes

My all-time favorite magazine, Oxford American, has been reincarnated once again. Born out of Marc Smirnoff's hyper-literate tenacity and its own odd, Southern karma, OA is one of the few national magazines that still publishes fiction in every issue. Over the years, this non-profit magazine has featured such notables as Roy Blount, Jr, Walker Percy, and Carson McCullars while unearthing great musical talents like My Morning Jacket, Memphis Minnie, and The Blind Boys of Alabama. 

OA has won countless awards and diehard readers over the years because it delivers some of the best writing, illustration, and photography around. In this age of Britney and Paris, it is a rare magazine that delivers culturally significant work, and in order for this rarity to survive, the OA needs smart people like you. It's time to vote with your wallet. Order your subscription today. You won't be sorry.

Ah, Galisteo and Madrid

 

Galisteo means "village of many names."

The hot new double-secret getaway is Galisteo, New Mexico. If you want to get off the grid, eat way too much good food, and slow down so that you can remember who you are, this is the place to go. The Galisteo Inn. 300 year-old rustic perfection with cottonwood trees older than God. It's right next door to Tom Ford's Ranch and Judge Reinhold's adobe hideout, tucked away on the winding green oasis that is the Galisteo River. This inn has been lauded by The New York Times, Vogue, Bon Apetit, Condé Nast Traveller, LA Times, Outside, and GQ. If you need to get away, you need to stay here.
