Happy (insert holiday here) - Issue #5

It's holiday season. I've been running into a few familiar faces from high school. Always weird! Other then holi-daze bringing out the crazy folks... it seems to produce good web videos.

Other then that, Issue #5 has been in the works. I was going to do a New Years release. But that's tomorrow, and well... it's not gonna happen. Instead I'm thinking of doing something around my birthday. I usually take it real mellow, but I'm thinking a BBQ @ Skatepark? I'll hand out some zines, stickers, maybe even hand-me down bike parts. I'll still pondering this one... I'll keep this filled with updates! The date would be Jan 30th, 2010.

Also, just a heads up on a few things.
Prashant just released the new Yo, Sick! Check it out here!
Nick just released Issue #6 along with an awesome shirt. Get that here!
The Defgrip store has some new additions. Check it out!

News Stands MIA - Ice Cream Stand - More.

So the news-stand need a little reworking. Along with the other advertising board. You can still find the free issues around town though. So keep those eyes peeled.

You'll also notice to the right, the Ice Cream Stand. This is where you'll be able to purchase Ice Cold if you've been shy about emails.



And last but not least, Gaz from Mutiny sent along the following email:
Yo,
Thanks so much for the zine. Just found 5 mins and had a flick. Lovin' it.
Have a great weekend,

PICDIT Feature

The folks over at PICDIT recently received a few copies of Ice Cold in the mail last week and posted a little write up. You can find the review here. Thanks again Adam, I'll get another package your way soon! (Photo: Eduardo Marques)

Freebies - News Stand - More!

So things have started to move again over at the Ice Cold headquarters. Issue #4 is available again, for only $2. Paypal link to come later in the week, look for that at the side.

Also recently finished was the first DIY news-stand. To see some pictures go here. If you want find out where it will be next though you'll have to join the FaceBook Group, yep thats right FaceBook.

When you do stumble upon one of the news-stands you'll see these. Free of course, only when found at the news-stand. These free little zines have been so plentiful lately they've been popping up all over the place (see photo below). These are just promo's though, so you'll still need to pay for a longer issue.

*Insert cliche' sorry here*

Fill in the above with whatever would fit for "sorry the lack of updates, via the Ice Cold Blog." If you got your copy of Issue #3, you probably saw how I have a hate-love-hate relationship with technology. With this in mind don't expect to find too many updates.

In other news I finally finished up with Issue #4. I am super stoked on how this issue came out. Compared to the Issue #3 , it looks like someone else took-over! I've run into some slight delays with getting copies made though. Funds are tight at the moment, so #4 has been put on a temporary hold. Sorry!

In the meantime if you really need an internet fix, make sure you check out Holeshot. Nick always has the best updates, and has recently decided to focus more time towards his two fantastic projects: Holeshot and Amigos Publishing. As always Nuno provides great photos. Ben recently changed the PDX site, due to his recent move! And Adam always seems to be getting a Cult of some kind going.

Until next time. - Ryan/Spoon
