Hi !

Well it's the end of February already!

Issue 8 is being printed as we speak. I was going over the proof last night getting a warm fuzzy feeling about everything we've created with this magazine :)

Here's your weekly dose of adventure - and scroll down for testing opportunities for Issue 9..

ADVENTURE BULLETIN
