HOT mag- an online version?

I do have the sofeware but I have never used it. I have an appointment at Apple tomorrow for them to install it on my computer but I don't think they explain how to use it. I can give you the disk to intall if you want. Also I went to 510 skate show today to show them the mag, ask if they want to advertise, and leave a donation box, but the own, who was really suportive of us, thought the mag as a hard copy was a really bad idea because everything has gone didgital. Even Slap mag is now only online. He said it would be easier, cheaper, and reach more people if we put out and online mag, and then more people would be willing to buy ads online. He gave me some sites to check out. 

Let me know what we should do, I want to help with it.

P.S.  the owners wife also skates and they have a two year old daughter so I invited them to the Moms skate thing and they put out flyers in there store. I'll post the links he gave me when I find the paper.

Good News I do have a Adobe InDesign CS3 layout program

Hey,

So I just checked my softwear  package and I do have a good layout program. It's Adobe InDesign CS3. I'm gonna make an appointment at Apple to have it installed on my computer but if someone else wants to borrow the softwear for the Zine thats cool too. Let me know.

SKATEDATE MCINNIS SKATE PARK

4 HOURS OF SKATING FUN

Wow, we got a picture of Staycee. Sweet huh?

Just part of the routine.

If only you could see what trick I'm doing.

Nice shades.

Where are all the North Bay skater ladies? We learned that Marin county isn't the hot spot for female skaters... and it wasn't the usual turnout for a SLAG skate date, but lots of good things went down. Beth and the blunt, Erica's disaster practice, and some 50-50 action from Stace, just to name a few.

Video includes some daring doubles footage with Beth and her fellow Canadian skater.
