That's right, on October 6th, 2008 The Melon will be unveiling its new and improved website interface. Not only are we proud to bring you a whole new look, but we're pleased to present an enhanced interface and new and innovative features. Let's just say The NEW Melon can only be described as "b'dass."

In order to switch over to our new site, The Melon will be shutting down on Saturday, October 4th before re-launching on October 6th. We'll be posting right up until Saturday so keep stopping by for up-to-date coverage.

On October 6th, taste a whole new Melon.

If you thought The Melon had a "facination" with Robert "The Traveller" Hill, maybe you were right. The Melon is proud to present a new segment recording the work of one of our favorite Tacoma activists Robert "The Traveller."

In this week's episode, Jesse Hill, candidate for Pierce County Sheriff, addresses the Tacoma School Board about firearm safety training for students. For more information about Jesse Hill's stance on gun control, check out our interview with him.
