Industry Minne-zine Mega-video!
If you remember, I was in Minneapolis to bring in the New Year, and it was a lot of fun hangin’ out with many of the people who help create the Industry Minne-zine: Minneapolis’ premiere publication for allthingsMinneapolis! How did they start? A quick bio, taken from their myspace page, follows:
Industry Minne-zine started out as a city-informative magazine and in just one year has transformed itself into a catalyst for artists, musicians, entrepreneurs, fashionistas, and those seeking to be something other than ordinary. Industry Minne-zine enables those who strive to be justly noticed through a diversified and influential resource. Our goal is not just to expose but to drive the sources of creativity and the independent soul and culture of Minneapolis. Keeping the integrity of our mission and the integrity of all those involved in creating the publication always takes precedence. We provide something that is bold, innovative, empowering, and nothing less than revolutionary. Industry Minne-zine is the pioneer of true independent publishing in Minneapolis.
So, would YOU like it? I do. And if you stop by this website a lot, I’d like you’d like it too. Check out their target audience:
Leading the charge is a new generation of readers—well-informed, multi-cultural women and men aged 21 to 38. They’re the most educated, most relaxed, clued-up generation in history, with their own unique spin on the world. Flooded by media and wary of hype, they’re skeptical of everything they watch or read. Eclectic and irreverent, they’re rapidly transforming fashion, culture, and the media. Our readers have their own music, their own blogs, their own newspaper, and their own fashion, and their own Myspace profiles. They have almost everything, in fact. Except a magazine that really speaks to them…until now.
If you’re from Minneapolis and are looking for a connection back home, you can pick up a year’s subscription for under $20 from their website here. The entire operation is run by people that live and breathe the scene, and although it has local roots, it definitely has a global scope. Once again, thanks to Tony, Nate, Romeny and Odogg for really making Jorge, Boogie and I welcome in your neck of the woods.
