YM posted
Alright, it's almost March and the April 2002 issue of YM magazine is being distributed to subscribers all over the U.S. Why does this matter? Because me and 10 of my friends did a photo shoot with YM last summer and some of us are going to be in it! That's right, a writer from YM (Sara Lyle... who's awesome) flew down from New York, and 2 Photographers drove down from Chicago. All this for me and my buddies: Aaron, DJ, James, Jordan, Mike, Nate, Nick, Travis, Zach, and Zack.
Why did they do this? Well, apparently YM does an article about 'regular guys', who aren't actors or models or anything, every month. And they always try to do it about different groups of guys, whether it's football players, skateboarders, whatever. Well, Sara found brooksfsw.com, my old website, and contacted me asking if me and my soaping buddies would be interested in being in their article. I immediately called my friends and jumped at the opportunity. We then kept in contact by phone, and then they came and did the shoot and interviews last July. After waiting and waiting, we found out that not all of us will make the article, in fact, only 6 of us will. But, me and some of my friends are in the magazine, which will be in stores in March. So go pick yourself up a copy of the April issue of YM and check it out.
P.S. I'm on page 124, heh.

I'm extremely excited to check out the article... friends of mine with subscriptions to YM have already seen it, and the reactions have been generally good (i.e: "that kid derek is hot!!") anyway, for those of you who are looking to pick up a copy of the magazine, my best guess is that it will be on shelves somewhere around the very beginning of March (possibly this friday or saturday?). It's the April issue, which mean's it'll be out a month before then. so guys, have fun buying YM... or make your girlfriends do it for ya
