I'm reaching out to Scott at Camaro Performers magazine (he's the head editor). I'll update my post with what he says.

This, plus I enjoy hanging out in the mag section at Barnes and Noble and Books a Million. I could care less about anything other than car mags.

The internet will kill the magazines. All of them.

The Internet sounds upset.

I enjoy magazines because some of the pictures in there are really great as well as it is nice to hold a hard copy still.

Agreed. I haven't paid for a printed publication in years.

I noticed that they were not at the Fest this year. That's when I always upped my subscription. Got a free T-shirt that way!

I noticed a lot of the editors in the mags I get were saying there good-byes this moth.

You'll probably get the hot rod mag.

I'm surprised e-versions wouldn't continue to be available. Oh well

I have to admit, it was getting to the point that for every 10 pages, 7 1/2 were advertisements.

Just like TV shows. A 30min TV show is now about 14 min advertisements and 16 min of actual show.

Already has. Only time I ever pick up a magazine anymore is at the doctors office and my phone is low on battery or doesn't get reception in their waiting room

I remember I used to get all sorts of sports and car magazines like ~10 years ago, now I don't bother as I can get the info for free on the net.

Please do as I really liked the guys who wrote for Camaro Performers. For my work I do a lot of travel and for long hours of it there is no internet so I've always counted on my Camaro Performers to fill that void. As much as it sucks for those of us who like reading it I'm sure it's tough on the guys who worked for them. Hope they are able to find other employment but now a days it's gotta be a tough grind with a career in printed material.

been communicating with both Justin Cesler and Scott Parker, sad day for sure. Justin has his own business now, Scott will rebound..
