[Ccpg] A NEW magazine on the central coast about GOOD FOOD? / Please comment.

[Bob Banner]

Hello local central coast food people. I have an idea.

This is a teaser. A rough draft. This is to give you an imaginary  
sneak preview of what COULD happen.
This is NOT going to be an “EDIBLE CENTRAL COAST” where we spend  
oodles of money.
This will be a grassroots effort to strengthen the sustainable food  
industry on the central coast.
If you wish to participate in some way, in any way, please let me know  
soon. I would LOVE to come out with a
16 page sneak preview of GOOD FOOD this March / April, 2009 but I need  
your input.

More titles? More writers? More advertisers? More resources? Let us  
begin!
Please see the attached possible front cover for the new issue (below).
