Mag-neto Magazine - GOOD NEWS! (and spam)

Hello everyone,

I've been wanting to make this announcement for awhile and finally the pieces have fallen in to place.

Some of you may know that I spent much of the past year fighting cancer. The good news is...I won! Thanks to an awesome team at the Dana-Farber Cancer Ins***ute. I finished chemo a couple of months ago and now have a clean bill of health. I spent the summer getting back to normal and feel better then ever.

And now the really good news... A new issue of Mag-neto is finally ready, hot off the press! I spent a lot of time just thinking about a new direction for the magazine, mainly because there are now a bunch of cool little mags and more popping up everyday. I also wanted more time to actually work on my hot rods rather than sit in front of a computer working on a magazine. So the new format is now annual instead of quarterly. BUT it's also now a big-*** full-color calendar with a feature car for each month. So you can hang it up after reading the stories. If you miss the old quarterly format, just read 3 months at a time.

Anyway, I want to thank everyone for your kind words and patience the past year while production was on hold. I hope you enjoy the new format.

If you had a subscription, it was mailed out today. Since it's an annual now, I won't be taking subscriptions any longer (another move toward simplifying my life). You can just pick up a new one each year from my website or any number of other vendors (preferably one from the HAMB!).

For any HAMBer that places an order, I'll cover the shipping to you. Just send the total to my Paypal account (flash@mag-neto.com) along with a note and your HAMB name.

Check out the new format plus the available back issues at www.mag-neto.com

Here's the new cover:

 

That ****ing RULES Tony. Glad to hear it. Glad to see the Mag back in whatever form is necessary for it to live on. Amazing work as always.

Are your normal distributors going to carry the annual or am I best to buy it direct?

 

Congrats! Great to see you and the mag. back on track

 

Great and Good news Tony

looking forward to reading it
gona contact you in a few.....

 

Congratulations! This is good news indeed. Mag-Neto! is one of my favorite little pages.

 

I sure as hell hope so. I have a huge pile of these rags to move! I've also sent sample copies to all the shops who carried it before. Hopefully once they see the new format they'll still want to carry it.

 

Great news on your recovery. keep up the great work on the Mag

 

Silly question but I'll ask it anyway. Will they be available at The AlterBoys Show Saturday night?

Best wishes to him. Guys named Tony are tough. Yep I sent one off to you today.

 

I guess the drugs did do some damage to my brain. Yes I need to add that!

 

That is SUPER Tony,so glad to hear this!!!!!!! Its the kind of Spam we like on tha HAMB.

 

Glad to hear you're ok- I sent in some $$$ for a subscrip. right after you paused publication, and I was impressed how quickly I got my money back- stand up effort, all things considered. I'll send out an order for the new edition- looks sharp.

Checked out your address on mapquest- I work practically across the street from you, in the old ADL building off Route 2- small world!

 

Congrats on killing the Cancer!!! **** Cancer!!!

Mag-neto RULES...I'm so glad you back and running I love that MAG!!!

Tony,
I knew you'd kick ***. I'm glad everything worked out for you and it's great seeing you around again.
I can't wait to see the format, cause I need a new calendar for the garage and I'm sure it's got your usual excellant quality.

tikEK

 

Great glad to hear you kicked the cancer! I will be sending in for a few for Christmas best gift in the world. Good Luck

 

Not yet!!

Great to hear the good news Tony. I was hoping you'd go Annual on the zine too. There's some serious saturation going on out there.

I'll be grabbing a heap off you for sure. It's an honour to have a mag like Mag-Neto to offer to the guys here.

 

So awesome, always wondered why the site said the mag was going on hiatus. Congratulations on all counts.

 

sounds great i've been clean for 7 years from it too!!!!!

 

Congrats man- glad to hear-I'll see you guys Saturday night...Now, if I could only find issues 1 and 3-haha I know, i know, I bug you everytime I see you-haha

 

Tony,

I'm glad to hear you're doing OK. I've chatted with you a few times (actually, my wife did more than me!) at the Road Agent's show.
