It’s a new year!! 2013 was quite a year for The Challenger as we expanded the paper to full color printing, re-launched the new website, presented at the Austin Anarchist’s Book Fair, and lot’s more. We can’t wait to see what 2014 holds, and hope that all of our readers stick along for the ride.  All the staff here at The Challenger are thrilled to continue bringing you the local news, opinion, art and entertainment from the streets of Austin!  Thanks again for all of your support!

In this month’s edition, be sure to read The Places You Won’t Go, by Ada Lovelace as this month’s featured story. Till next month, stay warm!!
