In less than a month, I hammered enough material together to create the first print edition of the <em><strong>Costumer&#8217;s Notes<\/strong><\/em> magazine since we went onto the web in the late &#8217;90&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal;\">Many of the magazines I wrote for between &#8217;97 and &#8217;05 have gone out of print. \u00a0<strong><em>Wiggle Hips, Belly Dancer Magazine, Habibi<\/em><\/strong> and <strong><em>Cymbal<\/em><\/strong> are now gone. So I blew the cobwebs off of a few of my favorites pieces and put them together into this print edition. Although there are more than a few typos, and some awkward page layout issues, I had a blast revisiting my old articles as I worked on this project. \u00a0In under a month, I went from concept to product.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal;\">Once I was &#8220;done enough&#8221; I printed out a pile of this edition. \u00a0You may know that one of my favorite mottos \u00a0is \u00a0&#8220;done is good&#8221; \u00a0which really means I&#8217;m always two typos away from perfection. But I was happy to have this project done and I took copies<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal;\"> of it to a bunch of dance events before I eventually ran out and it too went out of print. \u00a0But now, here on my blog, I&#8217;m delighted to bring it back to share with you in digital form.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s next? My vision for future editions of <strong><em>Costumer&#8217;s Notes<\/em><\/strong> magazine is to create a far more lush, colorful and beautiful digital magazine. With this goal in mind, I&#8217;m working on all new content. Although at this time, I have no idea how long it will take to bring this magazine to life, I&#8217;ll let you know when it&#8217;s ready so you can check it out too. \u00a0In the meantime, enjoy this blast from the past.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.davina.us\/CNSpring09\/Costumer'sNotes-Spring09-WebSM.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">C<\/a><\/em><a
