The Founders

It was the first hot day in a long time, so the popsicles came out. But it wasn't just for fun and games. The foursome had met for a greater purpose: to create a name.

There was the brainstormed list. And lots of votes to narrow things down (and lots of time in between when they lost interest). But eventually, the boys had to choose from:

Fried Chicken
Full Speed Power
Eagles
Eagle Eye
Soar

It wasn't such an easy decision.

And then there was a stand-off between the final two.

And finally, Fried Chicken won.

But the boys were dissatisfied. After all, Eagles was a pretty cool name for a zine, too.

But so was Fried Chicken.

Maybe it was the heat. Or perhaps the joy of seeing the sun. Or just the silliness of boys. But when the oldest one suggested Fried Eagle, the other three became excited and yelled, "Fried Eagle! Fried Eagle!"

Could we do that? Could we name a zine Fried Eagle? Truth be told, we can do anything we want. More importantly, we have to uphold our promise to have this zine entirely youth-lead.

And so it is.

And there you have it.
