I’d like to thank everyone who has supported id Magazine from the beginning and throughout our first year. It has been one of the most rewarding experiences for me, and given some in our community opportunities they may have not had. We are more committed than ever to providing you with a magazine that is informative, resourceful and has top notch content.
This commitment is what has led me to decide to hold off, taking the rest of the summer off and our next issue being published in the Fall. I won’t go into the details, but I can say we are going through several stages during this time and when complete, the fully envisioned id Magazine will be the result.
This does not mean our site and blog will be static during this time…far from it. We will be adding articles, news and some great interviews with people in the community and a few celebrities sprinkled in. I’m pleased to announce that our first interview is with Pandora Boxx from RuPaul’s Drag Race!
Please continue to support our advertisers and our ideals program participants throughout this time…the businesses in our community need our support now more than ever! These include Cupcake Jones, Designs by Michelle Lagos, Wild Abandon, Starky’s Restaurant and Bar, Mother’s Bistro, Mamma Mia’s and Hotel Deluxe.
Again, I’d like to thank the countless people that have supported id Magazine from the beginning, without them, we would not have survived or be where we are today.
These great people include: Sam Adams, Horace Long, Matthew Free, Rosemary Ragusa, Michelle Lagos, Rasha Spindel, Judy Devine, Chad Delco, Jim Wilburn, Roberta Mac Laren, Ed Garren, Barbara Hart, Nikki Jardin, Andy Clemmer, Matthew Morrison, Andy Yost, Nikki Jauron, West Duncan, Josh Hein, Frankie Frimberger, Lisa Watson, Peter Shanky, Lisa Schroeder, Tom Geil, Dennis Ishler and Neal Clay.
We first heard about apparent gay bashings over the holiday weekend via Facebook and a local singer’s website…other than that we don’t have much to go on as far as details, but the summer is …
