I'm a big fan of Sactown magazine, and not just because of its name or subject matter. Rob Turner and Elyssa Lee put out a glossy befitting a major city — which Sacramento is — with some really great content. It recruits the best editors, designers and writers the region has to offer, and picks great topics. Like, this month for example, local writer Anita Chabria delved into Vivek Ranadivé for the cover story.

You've really got to read this piece. If you live around Sacramento, get a copy of the magazine (or better yet, subscribe). For those of you out of the area, I'm not sure if you can buy back copies, but you should probably try. It's an incredible look into Vivek's history and philosophy, far deeper than anything we've ever seen to date.

The story's not available online, nor are the pretty awesome photos (including one of an 18-year-old Vivek headed to the airport with the infamous $50 in his pocket). I plucked out three quotes to share that will change how you think about Vivek, hopefully for the better.

1.

Hansen then gave the Sacramento anti-arena group $100,000, but whatever. Our owner has a helluva lot of grace.

2.

And here's the kicker.

Sam Amick broke the Malone news on May 30. The BoG meeting in Dallas was May 15. That puts the Vivek-Malone agreement right around … May 16? May 17? Before the Long Live the Kings Rally on May 22. Just insane.

Can't frickin' wait.
