We are very excited to announce the people involved, as we attempted to interview skateboarders and musicians that we are into:

John Sharkey III of Dark Blue
Richie Charles of Watery Love
Grant Yansura
Tom Karangelov
Jon Goemann- (cheers to See Trinh who emailed me never seen Goemann photos and sequences)

Paypal would be cool and honestly mate, I'll do whatever minimum you want. We just want to get these out there as we spent some major time in between our full-time jobs, a masters degree, and general insanity.

Thanks again, mates.

Thanks a bunch. The feedback means a lot to me. And I am even more thrilled you appreciate the interview with Jon Goemann. He was super nice throughout emailing back and forth, along with asking Seu Trinh to get us unseen photos.

Again, thanks for caring enough to purchase this, and issue two is already in the works with some more heavy hitters.
Title: Re: Hot Box Magazine
Post by: Mr. Kamikazi on June 15, 2017, 04:43:00 PM: Cheers to the continued orders. I knew I could count on the SLAP mates to appreciate this.

Running low!

My most sincere appreciation.

First and foremost, thanks to EVERYONE who ordered. It was quite surprising.

We are down to the last 9 copies out of 100. If anyone would like one, let me know, as I will make sure the SLAP mates are taken care of.

Issue Two should be out by August, in which I will make mention of this once everything is finalized.

Title: Re: Hot Box Magazine
Post by: Mr. Kamikazi on August 17, 2017, 08:21:08 PM: Just a heads up; we printed a limited number of the first issue again for anyone that missed it.

Issue Two is coming along as well. Thus far confirmed and completed interviews are with Luke Croker and Austin Stephens. Austin spent almost two hours with us on the phone and is seriously answered all questions to the fullest extent, sometimes even asking us what we thought about things. The other interview(s) are in the works!

In the interim, please have a gander.

Post by: Mr. Kamikazi on October 05, 2017, 06:39:55 PM: Tomorrow is the official release of Issue 2. As mentioned, this will feature interviews with Luke Croker, Johan Stuckey, and Austin Stephens. Other interviews include those of artists from the Philadelphia area that are friends of ours.

These will be up for sale next week sometime and I'll post. Thanks for those that have ordered the first issue. This once was easier and came about much faster. The only issue we ran into was the photos that were sent to us by the three headliners have been used/seen before (which was a tad bit disappointing). Not all of them, but some for sure. Anyway, hope to see some interest in this! Issue Three will be underway soon enough.

So if anyone in Denver wants to swoop one hit us up, we have 4 copies at Crisis Skateboards. After I get off of SLAP for the day and am done paying bills and placing orders, I'll be reading through the zine and holler back. Small World hey.
