Update:
As of Issue 2, we're delighted to announce the addition of Jennifer Manuele to the San Louie family in the capacity of photographer and voice of reason. Entrepreneur and San Luis Obispo planning commissioner Eric Meyer has also clambered aboard the effort. Eric's contribution will largely be grand gestures, arm waving, misc. hoopla, token male perspective, etc. and so forth.
Jennifer Manuele (pictured below) is the owner of Sally Loo’s Wholesome Café. She is a photographer by trade, but fell into the restaurant business in 2009 when a cafe around the corner came up for sale. She and her husband jumped at the chance to make the dream they had been whispering to each other come true. Now she happily makes pies and shoots photos on the side.

The inaugural issue of San Louie was created by 4 people:

Ashley Schwellenbach, Editor, is a Prundedale native and hybrid of Jane Eyre, Jo March, and Anne Shirley. She has been accused of suffering from hypergraphia, and works as the Arts and Entertainment Editor of New Times to support this theory.

Catherine (Cate) Trujillo, Art Director, is a 21st Century eccentric, self-appointed arbiter and native Californian with New Mexican roots. All the while hopelessly devoted to the cultural life of San Luis Obispo. Her first visit to San Louie was when she was a teenager and saw Rod Stewart perform at the Mid-State Fair. Unfazed, she moved here with a commitment to work in the arts, concentrating on the preservation and dissemination of multicultural history and art. Her favorite work of art is her daughter, Cruz.

Art Director Mignon Khargie once addressed a letter to San Luis, Obispo. She wasn’t living here at the time, and the people to whom she sent it still invite her to dinners at their home. San Louie is gracious that way. Mignon is an illustrator for Salon.com, a web and print designer, and sidekick to a tyrannical 9-year-old. She wishes more things in life could be as much wicked fun as assembling the many layers of this magazine proved to be. All told, San Louie took about two months to come to completion, thanks in large part to the generosity and enormous talent of the people filling its pages.

Tim Miller, Editorial Assistant for issue 1, has only been on the Central Coast for a few years and has the dubious distinction of being a Cal Poly student. He tries to trick locals into believing otherwise by living in Los Osos and avoiding, as much as possible, bros. He surprises people with his love and knowledge of sports and also entertains Californians when he roots for teams from Detroit. He is determined to make it to Singapore; he wants to see where they make the feet for children’s shoes.
