Hello everybody,
I just got an e-mail from Kathy Jacobs saying that our show report on BP3 is in the March issue of VW Trends!  She says that she hasn't seen it yet, but she was told by VWT that it was in there.  

Let us know how it is, whoever sees it first! :thumbs-up:

We got ours Friday, so watch your boxes!

Wow, my name finally in a VW magazine, and it's for "Roughest Veedub Running"!  All I can say is, you should have seen it BEFORE it was running! :turn:

Neat article!  Go us! :thumbs-up:

hmmm...

no web site address.
no color at all
questionable layout

well, at least we are in there.
maybe we should see what kind of coverage hotvws will give us if we give them the exclusive. it may be too late this year, but next year for bp.5 we should explore other options.

from what i've heard, vw of america is very picky about what they put in their official publications (VWDriver) and guess what? we are in VWDriver as one of only 2 listed for 2002.
and they put our web site in it. we have had numerous responses from people seeing it in VWDriver and it has also generated several emails thru the web site.

sometimes it may be better to have no presence in a publication (VWTrends) if they are not willing (anxious) to show us and our festival in a good light.
when people are perusing the mags and see our article and compare it to little one day shows that only have half the turnout we do, they see color and good layout in a little event and then see our article with poor layout and no color and think we must be less of an event.

the article itself seemed great. just incomplete and colorless.

 :dontgetit:

Cliche' alert:

There's no such thing as bad publicity!

:spank:

I am sorry that the coverage was in Black and White, as you know I have no control over
how it turns out after it leaves my hands!
  I couldn't have done it without you guys providing me the info! As you noticed in
there it did have you all down as the contributors!
   It isn't like VWT thought your show was lesser than any other show, for them to place it in
b/w, it didn't have nothing to do with that. They only have so much they can place in
color and the rest has to be b/w.
 I did notice it had some typos in the captions under the pictures, I apoligze for that. I sent them with the correct ones and they just got them mixed up.
   Overall, I just hope you all and the rest of the spectators, show participants and vendors liked the article and it makes more people aware of the Southeast scene!

maybe next time we can get on the cover? :sarcasm:

That's it, dream big.

Hey, at least we were in the magazine, maybe we can be in there next year too!
