[rediviva] is glad we’re not on a print deadline!

Through a series of funny conversations, whiskey throw backs and maybe even a couple things in common- I find myself sharing our ‘magazine’ studio space (Now that were not a print magazine what do we call it?) The [rediviva] studio space, with Josh Sampiero, Editor of Windsurfing magazine. I find myself feeling very glad that someone out there is still employed and operating under the print deadline stress of the print magazine world. I thought it be fun to pretend I could write and interview Josh sitting to my left (ironically enough, in Andrea’s seat. I guess it’s the Editors throne?)
How’s it going over there?
Uhh, kicking-ass.
Whats your favorite part about the upcoming Windsurfing issue?
I’m stoked about this issue. It’s my favorite issue of the whole year. There is this article I’ve been trying to get out for 2 years and it’s finally happening.
What magazines do you subscribe to?
GQ. Esquire- it’s my favorite magazine in the whole world.
Whats your opinion of [rediviva] going to the web?
I think its going to be hard for you guys to make money.
So you have’nt voted yet for the cover on Facebook.
I don’t have a Facebook. (but I logged in anyway through a steathly manner and before anyone noticed, I voted and was signed out.)

So Josh, while I have you here, remember this photo I created and sent you last summer? I was pissed at Franisco Goya because I thought he signed my shirt as ‘The Jonas Brothers’? And what made this seem like a huge issue to me is that it was the same shirt that I got Robby Naish to sign. So to have Robby Naish on the left shoulder of the shirt, and The Jonas Brothers on the right shoulder was the biggest precieved dig ever!
But as it turns out- He didn’t sign it any other way than, as ‘Fransico Goya.’ My bad.
So Josh, thank you for not taking me too seriously and you did insist that Goya would never do that after all. You’re right.
And Whit Poor, looks like our deal of me photographing you for your potential modeling career in sport modeling in exchange for getting Naish to sign another shirt. Looks like I don’t need it.
And Matt at Naish Sails, nevermind on getting Robby Naish to sign another shirt.. the one I have is totally fine with Naish and Goya on each shoulder, just like I wanted in the first place.
Ooops guys. Fransico, were cool right?

Geez, A. So many typos. I’m sitting right here! You could have let me do a line edit first.
You know what, I thought about that. But then, you might have not let it go through
“Whats your opinion of [rediviva] going to the web?

Yeah–because print is SOOO lucrative. We only called it quits on that because we felt so bad taking so much money from the community.
Funny story about Francisco, who BTW is about the nicest person on the planet. He also signed my board. I’m pretty sure it’s says Francisco Goya, but now I’m going to have to check. Anyway, his signature might be a bit artistic, perhaps because it runs in his family – his brother Alejandro owns an art studio in Paia. Check it out next time you’re on the rock.
So did you check my blog at http://www.jaminjones.com ?
