From the review crew to the editor banter to the back-breaking, 400-page issues from 1994, it was a cherished magazine I'll never forget.

The dream took a crushing blow, though, when they announced -mere months before I finished school -a move to San Francisco. Imagine my squealing delight when I found out the mag was located in Illinois, the very state I was in. I would graduate college and be working at EGM by 26, no matter the personal sacrifice.
