Dec/Jan Issue

[norther practitioner]

Big ups.. good photo shop job Gene..

I read the article on sword by what his face with Li style tai chi. That was pretty good, a little condesending in the way some things were talked about, but I can understand.

I'll get into more tom. I need to get too much junk done.

You must be refering to page 67 and that was all Design Sifu's work.

And BTW, this is the JAN FEB 2005, not Dec/Jan. It just comes out in Dec.

Hey Gene... for us non subscribing mere mortals... when's that issue hit the stands?

[Judge Pen]

Sean, is there something that would interest you in the upcoming issue?

[sean_stonehart]

Maybe... and you too!!

[norther practitioner]

OH, and the ads are getting nicer (and some are a bit more risque` too).. woohoo.

sorry about the month thing, I realized that once I posted it.

[GeneChing]

Of course, as I've said so many times here, the official on stand date is soft. Tomorrow is the official date set in our publishing schedules, but there are so many variables that will push that date a week or two forward or backward.

Sean (and JP), you'll be interested in page 104. Our reporter Melissa did y'all up nicely.

And NP, thanks for noticing the ads. The graphic guys here enjoy their work

From what I heard Melissa was a nice choice to do the reporting!

I need to finish up the mag after tonights workout...

Nice to see the sword issue out now though.

Whats next (any hints) are you guys going to do another weapons issue, or break them up (seems the direction you'd go).

[GeneChing]

...as I say in the Publisher's Corner, I've been wanted to do this issue for so long. It's quite experimental - I can't think anything quite like it ever published before - so I'm pretty excited about it. But it's an experiment and experiments can fail. We will decide if we do another Sword Collector's Issue depending on how this one does. So if you're into Chinese weapons, and want to see more of this, buy up those issues on the newsstand now!

I can't let you know what we're working on next, but I can tell you that we are changing the format of our Featured Weapons section after this issue. We will start showcasing premium authentic antique collector pieces like the pieces from Wang Sheng Ji.

Nice..


I'd like to see a series personally..
Staffs and Spear issue
Exotics issue (I think you've had one already though)
Weapons of the South or something like that..

not one right after the other.. maybe one or two a year or something worked into the mix. Of course you'd have to find willing contributors, which would probably be a bit hard.

[sean_stonehart]

Southern weapons would be cool.

Give us a heads up to the work up on the issue if it rolls around.
