just to elaborate on what jim said on page 2 and to bring everyone up to speed on how this happened...
shortly after the gcvws last august, i approached niels (airmighty head honcho) and asked him if he would be interested in running a feature on the gcvws. niels said yes, so i contacted the dvkk to get their blessing and to make sure that we wouldnt be stepping on anyone elses journalistic toes (hotvws/ultravws/stephan szantai/dean kirsten/etc invest alot of time & money in coming to canada each year to cover the event, and we didnt want this to get in the way of their coverage). then i got ahold of alan and he graciously accepted to let the magazine use his pictures. we sent niels links to all of alans pics and loris pics (of the cruise)...and niels chose all the pictures (except for 2 that i suggested he use) for the feature and he did the layout. then i wrote the captions for the pics and story (i was given 500 words max and i think i ended up at 501...it's was very hard to condense 3 awesome days of events into that many words...i think the 1st version i wrote was around 800...!).
the whole reason behind this was to get some more exposure for the gcvws, this awesome local scene, and all the incredible people involved!! and it really could not have been possible without the hard work and enthusiasm of everyone involved in this scene...and i mean everyone!!
special thanks for this project go to alan, lori, and niels for making it all possible!
