The mag started out with Mike O'Farrel, Harlan Raynes, Phil Morris and myself. The original deal was that as a journalism major, I'd do all layout, design etc., and they would compile articles, find advertisers, etc. We'd each pitch 25% of production costs, we'd each keep 10% of profit, the rest would go back to the mag.... yea.... O'Farrel kind of fell of the face of the earth. Harlan didn't really come through on the financial end, but has been doing good at compiling stories, copy-editing, etc. Phil Morris is amazing. The kid has been getting advertisers, etc. He never pitched any money, either, as far as the original plan, but he got advertisers and THEY pitched money, so that counts. I'm $1,400 into this project. We are going into our Fourth Issue. We have gotten so much attention, I had to incorporate into a business. I started Uff Da Media as a sole proprietorship. My mom happens to be a CPA so she is our accountant. I hired LOTS of people to help out with everything.
