Kitchen Sink circling the drain?

The Oakland magazine may have published its last issue unless its editors find a cash infusion to keep going. From the San Francisco Chronicle.

If they can’t raise the money, Kitchen Sink will join the legions of promising independent magazines that suffer unhappy endings. Its editors built a 12,000-circulation quarterly without having a paid staff member or renting an office — for years, meetings were held in Mama Buzz Cafe in Oakland, which one of the editors owned. It was always a labor of love, existing month to month, so when its distributor, the San Francisco-based Independent Press Association, folded several weeks ago, “it just compounded the problems we were already having,” said Publisher Carla Costa.
