Congrats on the New magazine. Count me in! Hopefully as a publisher you will be as successful and famous as Hearst, or was that Hefner? Oh well either way the new mansion will have room for the Crab---if it's done won't it?

Holy crap:

I didn't log on last night, and I see I got 17 PMs. Will be sending them out before Monday.

To answer the above question, whether I'm proud of it, well--I wish it was 68 pages instead of 52. I know that design-wise it's perfect for its purposes, but you gotta understand that I've been staring at these pages for 3 months.

However, the reaction that i got at the bar yesterday after work was outstanding. People thet I knew and knew weren't just blowing smoke up my ass were laughing harder than I ever heard them laugh...people I didn't know were laughing at it, showing certain pages to their friends...and two friends of mine committed to advertising in the next issue. They said that no, it wasn't something they would be afraid to be associated with.

One female bartender, a new one who I didn't know, called me an asshole--because I have a photo in there of a Coral Springs cop car with the license plate retouched to say "I Brake For Tits." It seems her boyfriend is a cop, and she took offense at that.
Go figure! You wind up sweating the big stuff, and it's the stupid little stuff that annoys people.

Can't wait to get it around time the next few weeks.

Sure hope you didn't put your pic in the mag....You might have every cop in Coral Springs on your A**!!

Thanks for all the nice words, guys. (And no picture of me, because I ain't no dummy. I do have a page with a Pubisher's Letter, but I used a piece of STOCK art.)

Right now, I'm compiling the addresses and doing the labels, to bring to the post office in a few hours. My mailbox was 100% full, but I cleaned it out--so if you had a problem with sending me a PM, try again.

Also, since I got so many PMs, I just don't hae the time to respond to each of you individually in the manner you deserve. Yes, I've become way too famous and powerful to communciate with you, the little people, individually.

When I'm done with today's mailing, I'll do a post with all of the user names, so you can check that you're covered. I know that way back, a bunch of you sent addresses to [email protected], so I'll have to cross-reference that list too.
