Coquitlam: Magazine relaunch party this Friday

You can excuse Tracy Stefanucci for the difficulty she experienced in trying to encapsulate a wide-reaching mission statement in one word.

The Port Moody native was in that boat four years ago when launching the first incarnation of her arts and culture magazine, which ended up being called one cool word magazine. Fast forward four years and the name has changed, albeit slightly, to OCW Magazine.

“I really wanted to have a name when we started. We just needed to think of one cool word — all good magazine titles have one cool word,” she said. “It grew to become the perfect title, and it stuck. There’s a lot of spirit and cheekiness as well in it, so it works for us.”

Four years after OCW’s first edition, Stefanucci will trumpet the magazine’s re-launch on Friday, July 23 at Vancouver’s Rickshaw Theatre. The events kick off at 7:30 p.m., and will be filled out with live music, improv comedy and just about anything else that falls under the magazine’s mantra of, “Don’t just receive culture — participate in creating it.”
