Inflated distribution numbers? LOL. We print and distribute 20,000
copies. We're moving to 25,000 this summer. And roughly 160,000
readers online...
Feel free to call our printer if you're interested.
Maybe I was wrong about the Warped Tour numbers, I don't know. I
can't find the numbers on the web other than a 2002 show that drew
16,000 (over your number). Why is it that when people here respond,
they generally have to attack people personally? Where in my
original post did my magazine come into play? Or are you just jealous
at the amount of copies we distribute?
BTW, the WNEW shows easily did 80,000 to 100,000 by police reports
and anyone that was there can verify those amounts. If you don't
believe it, I'll be glad to post the pictures of a crowd from the
Casino to Convention Hall plus the boardwalk plus a dozen or more
boats watching the show.

The Warped Tour in Asbury Park was sold out at 13,000. Where do you
get your numbers Gary? I guess it comes from inflated distribution
numbers...
