A Special Anniversary Note from our Publisher H appy B i r t hday TRI B E Z A !
Wow, I can hardly believe that TRIBEZA is celebrating 10 years in Austin because the time has gone so fast. Certainly we must thank our many advertisers, sponsors and loyal readers that have supported TRIBEZA through the prosperous and less prosperous times this decade has brought. And there are a few advertisers that deserve special thanks because they have been with us continuously since the beginning, including The Garden Room, Wally Workman Gallery and The Davis Gallery; and the many that followed soon after, including Adelante, By George, Eliza Page, First cover of TRIBEZA, Haven Gallery, Kennady Shadeworks, Truluck’s, Texas Sun & Shade, March 2001; photographed by Andrew Shapter. Turnquist Partners and Urbanspace. I am excited and honored to be a part of guiding this iconic brand into the future. Speaking of the future, know that we are making investments so that we can offer even greater visibility to our editorial features, easier access for our readers, and even more ways for our advertising partners to reach our readers and fans. We have recently launched a new website that not only publishes and archives each magazine as printed, but it also features editorial content from the magazine as well as new content on our blogs, party pictures and more. Similarly, we have a newly designed TRIBEZA eNewsletter that allows us to keep over 5,000 subscribers up to date on the city’s events and share news and specials from our advertisers and sponsors. If you have not already, be sure to check out our new website at tribeza.com, sign up for the eNewsletter, follow us on Twitter and “like us” on Facebook where we have almost 4,000 fans. As for the future I would not want to be in any other city but Austin, Texas right now. Austin is a strong, vibrant and growing city and there will no doubt continue to be many great stories for TRIBEZA to discover and share with you. We are very fortunate to have a talented team and a wonderful network of contributors that share my enthusiasm for this great city and for the magazine, so we will continue to bring you more of what has made TRIBEZA great so far. Please never hesitate to reach out with your ideas or thoughts on what we cover or should cover. We love hearing from our readers, fans and advertisers.
