ALOHA EVERYBODY!
I
know, I know, it’s about time Honolulu Streets is finally being
updated. Well, I’m only one local guy from Hawaii living on the mainland and trying really hard to
keep this thing going. Don’t want to give you all-kine excuses but that’s the truth.
Here’s the
thing, in the last few months I ran a campaign asking how many of
you would like to see Honolulu Streets turned into a very real gloss
cover magazine for Hawaii. Well, I’d like to elaborate a little
more on why I did that in addition to thanking all of you for your
wonderful support.
The
reason behind that whole campaign thing – I want to see Honolulu
Streets – had been to see how many of you wanted to see it happen.
In turn, I’d know if it would be cost effective for me to
continue. Well the bottom line is that I’ve got a long journey
ahead. In order for Honolulu Streets to become a printed
magazine, I would have to come back home. Don’t get me wrong, I
want to come back to Hawaii all right and I would do so in a
heartbeat, but as you know, `ya can’t come back with just a pocket
full of dreams, it takes money.
So, after
looking over the numbers from your response, and I really want to
thank all of you, the numbers just aren’t strong enough for me to
somehow get the money together and pull it off. That means for now,
Honolulu Streets will be limited to just the Internet.
Keeping that
in mind, I also want to tell you that I will be streamlining
Honolulu Streets to make it more manageable for one guy to handle..
Me!
So far, I have
been doing this thing purely out of love for Hawaii, Hot Rods, and
all of you who are interested in both. I don’t get paid one single
cent for any of my efforts so if you want to donate, sponsor, or
contribute whatever to keep Honolulu Streets going, then by all
means please send your contributions in.
In the next
few weeks, I’ll have a button similar to this one,
posted throughout the site.
Anytime you get the urge to support Honolulu Streets, that button
should make it really easy for you to support your dedicated Hot Rod
Magazine from Hawaii.
Maybe, just
maybe, I can put a kitty together (comprised of Hawaii Hot Rod
Dollars) with all the names who have aided in the help and continued
support of Honolulu Streets Magazine.
I want to see Honolulu Streets
Honolulu Streets Magazine
MAHALO FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
