Ah, so your magazine isn't all inclusive. I couldn't figure that out because I was too busy defining my tastes and my culture.

As a writer I never knock magazines because it is a market I may wish to break into one day. But is San Antonio really a city well-suited to having enough content for a magazine like this? I am sure Buddy and others will have something to say about it, but I have my doubts personally.

And it is kinda lame that this person only had like 10 posts or so before touting their magazine.

I am a snobbish Mexican born and raised on the West Side. So perhaps the things that to me define San Antonio are not the same as someone who reads this type of magazine. So that is why I asked an HONEST question- to inspire debate, not be judged as someone from a city and state that I have never even been to.

I'm not from Manhattan and I think culture exists throughout the country, just not in San Antonio. This magazine has no business being promoted in a city in which every celebration revolves around consuming as much beer and skirt steak as humanly possible.
Don't get me wrong, I love all those celebrations, it just isn't a town full of coffee shop attending jackasses that can't go five minutes without their wi-fi pitstops in order to complain about something happening within the government and to write a poem about it. Furthermore, last time I checked, most dining experiences in SA don't involve the food pictured on the website for this magazine, they involve giant plates and chinese buffet lines.

All bullshit aside, shouldn't the publishers of this thing, to appeal to this "hip professional" demographic, have a bad-ass website with all of their articles accessible online rather than that dinky piece of shit?

Gotta have content first.

This may very well appeal to a certain population of San Antonio, but I know I'm just not part of it. And while I believe I could pretty much write for anything, I just don't have the C San Antonio "style" to do so legitimately.

Although, from a total journalism geek's POV, I think their Media Kit is badass.

Some people prefer a good Pinot to Lone Star Beer. That shows good taste.

Some people prefer a Beamer to a 1978 el Camino. That shows style.

Some people like to go to exclusive clubs where they only let you in if you are fashionably dressed, so we don't have to socialize with swine like MannyIsGod.

Perhaps there are some who aspire to be cultured and fashionable, but lack the guidance. I think this magazine is a great way to help those people define themselves.

I don't need such help, but I will make several subscriptions for my girlfriends, some of whom often wear the same outfits multiple times in one season.

Maybe if more people in San Antonio had an ounce of class, you savages would have more than just one Nordstrom in your god awful town.

How can you even compare the Current and C? C is more along the lines of City Pages or that other one, I can't remember its name but it just started a few months back.

The Current is an alternative newspaper dealing more indepth with issues that the excuse news uses as filler as well as a lot of more under ground stuff around SA.

I'm not from Manhattan and I think culture exists throughout the country, just not in San Antonio. This magazine has no business being promoted in a city in which every celebration revolves around consuming as much beer and skirt steak as humanly possible.

For someone so cosmopolitan it seems a awfully hard task to type a properly structured post. Maybe you used Word for spell check and unknowingly formatted it to fuck up your post.


Don't get me wrong, I love all those celebrations, it just isn't a town full of coffee shop attending jackasses that can't go five minutes without their wi-fi pitstops in order to complain about something happening within the government and to write a poem about it.

I guess work should stop on Quarry Village

Take that foot out of your mouth and quit generally an entire population based on your eating habits.

Go try Cappy's on Broadway or Fusion on Huebner or Cafe Paladar.

Experience life outside of your own surrounding. Then you might understand why City Pages is still around and by C San Antonio was created and others similar to them both.

Props to Buddy Holly. He is one of the few who step up for San Antonio against the negative, shit talking trolls who spew forth the same boring, predictable jabs.
It's not about "stepping up" for SA. It's about having an HONEST discussion about the long-term viability of such a magazine in the city. It's an underrepresented market for sure, and there is genuine interest. But enough to sustain it long-term? I don't think so. If thinking that this magazine won't last more than 8 months is being a troll, then I better start registering some new screen names.

I was more talking about some of the other comments, but I did take exception with your initial post.

We'll see if you are right. There is significant growth with emerging scenes. If people keep spending money on arts and entertainment, as well as other aspects of urban development, there is potential for success. I applaud their efforts.

Sorry but I agree with the former poster. You and the rest of the crew were acting like assholes in this thread. Funny, but assholes.

I'm sure the magazine knows that they aren't catering to the majority of San Antonians and that's obviously not what they are trying to do. They are trying to create a niche magazine. I don't see why it wouldn't survive in it's niche if it's done well. It's been distributed in high end salons and other such places. So don't worry none of you will ever see it :lol

I totally admit to being an asshole in this thread. But I also posed an honest question- will this magazine survive long-term. I simply don't think it will. That doesn't make me a snob, that makes me realistic. When you launch a new magazine in a mid-size city that only caters to a very small part of the populace of the mid-size city, it's hard to do. If it were more of a regional publication I think it would do much better. Just my opinion. I did applaud their efforts in a previous post in this thread.

Well it depends on what they want to do with it. I can make a low-budget magazine next week and sell it to only 1,000 people and it can survive forever if that's what I want to do. So that's why I think it's a crazy statement to say it can't survive when you don't even know their objectives, their costs, etc.

But I was honeslty applauding their efforts, I just am not sure it will last is all, and you have to admit that the girl with the pinky in the ad is just retarded, to use Timmy's favorite phrase. I see Kori's points and all are valid. I simply don't agree with them.

Actually I do read the Current every now and then. And a couple of my lunchtime eateries, Sip and Espuma (now called Cafe Chiapas) are on their distribution list. Sip has some damn good panini.

I am a snobbish Mexican born and raised on the West Side. So perhaps the things that to me define San Antonio are not the same as someone who reads this type of magazine. So that is why I asked an HONEST question- to inspire debate, not be judged as someone from a city and state that I have never even been to.You're living in NJ and never been to Manhattan?

Take that foot out of your mouth and quit generally an entire population based on your eating habits.

Go try Cappy's on Broadway or Fusion on Huebner or Cafe Paladar.

I'm not going to lie to you, I went back and read my post about four times and I still don't see anything wrong with my "post structure". In fact, what is proper "post structure"? Is that something they teach in college now because I've been out of school for a few years and maybe the curriculum has changed, I'm not sure though, could you let me know? Furthermore, do you see the delicious irony in mocking someone's "post sructure" and then finishing it off by telling me to "quit generally an entire population", I think you mean "GENERALIZING" there fatty. Having said all that, I also do not recall describing myself as "cosmopolitan", let me go back and check, nope never described myself as that. What I would do if I were you, and mind you, I'm no expert in this, but what I'd do if I were you is I'd go down to your coffee shop, splash scalding hot coffee in your eyes to get them cleared out, then take a look around San Antonio. What do you see? That's right, drinking and skirt steak. It's easy to generalize a population when it's true jackass. San Antonio residents will be the first to admit that they are an obese, fun loving, partying town, and they are proud of it. Nothing wrong with that, not particularly my thing, but at least they make you feel welcome. Which is unlike the types of people that read these magazines and promote the kind of lifestyle these magazines represent, these people are known as douche bags, you should know, your parents are like this. Now, before you go throwing around any more fucking stupid insults, let me ask you this "Buddy Holly", will you be at one of those places you showed the drawings of? Because if you are, I'm coming to see you after drinking a 12-pack, while eating a fajita, and then I'm going to laugh at your fat girlfriend/wife while she sits there and downs her 1500 calorie vente latte with whip cream.

One more thing, I promise you Buddy Holly that I've lived in far more diverse cultures, situations, and geographical areas then you have and guess what, I still think this magazine is fucking retarded and that people that read said magazines are pretentious dickheads. So let's not say stupid things that we can't take back about experiencing life outside my surroundings when you yourself have never left South Texas.

How about spacing your fucking paragraphs asshole. I really don't feel like reading one big as block of texts. Maybe they like to do that in your family but not mine. Oh wait, I just made a generalization.


then finishing it off by telling me to "quit generally an entire population", I think you mean "GENERALIZING" there fatty.

Are you sure, I think I might have meant you're a cunt.


It's easy to generalize a population when it's true jackass. San Antonio residents will be the first to admit that they are an obese, fun loving, partying town, and they are proud of it.

Wow, you're even more of a fuckhead than I could have imagined.


Which is unlike the types of people that read these magazines and promote the kind of lifestyle these magazines represent, these people are known as douche bags

Why are they douche bags? Because you're an overweight kid with long black hair, a spiked ring around the neck and a black tee with "as i lay dying" or "killswitch" on the front.

What are you, holier than thou, better than the rest? Who the fuck are you to judge anyone?


you should know, your parents are like this.

:lol Really, well since you know my parents, maybe they'll invite you over for some coffee and cake.


Now, before you go throwing around any more fucking stupid insults, let me ask you this "Buddy Holly", will you be at one of those places you showed the drawings of?

I'd have no problem going to the Quarry Village. No problem. The Met at the Park is a apartment building with ground level retail. Depending on what retail said complex will have, maybe maybe not.


Because if you are, I'm coming to see you after drinking a 12-pack, while eating a fajita, and then I'm going to laugh at your fat girlfriend/wife while she sits there and downs her 1500 calorie vente latte with whip cream.

First you call me fat then you call my girlfriend fat. Who are you, TPark?
