New NYC Events Guide:: "
I happened across a post-card ad for this past weekend, which prompted me to do some digging. The magazine claims to be a pocket-sized (5.25" x 8.375") events and neighborhood guide, focusing on Chelsea, Chinatown, East Village, Financial District, Gramercy, Greenwich Village, Lower East Side, Meat Packing District, Nolita, Soho, Tribeca, Union Square, and West Village in Manhattan as well as Williamsburg and Dumbo in Brooklyn. The magazine will be produced every two weeks in Dumbo offices, with an initial circulation of 70,000. Their website gives no mention of a comprehensive web presence. They filed for ABC membership last month and have an April 30th launch date.
thelmagazine.com is registered to one N. Scott Stedman, who, according to ABC, is editor-in-chief. A Google search reveals he is originally from Wellesley, Mass. and that he won a Watson Fellowship while at Union College. ( Union.edu picture ) In a blog interview with a college associate, he discusses the L project and even states "British people do look like they have Downs syndrome."
The L site also points to an independent film called " Celebration " by and produced by Daniel Stedman (who apparently lives a few blocks from me). Scott served as co-producer on the film.
Looks like Stedman is intending to produce yet another NYC events guide, updated more frequently than Zagat, but more manageable than the overly comprehensive TimeOut and Village Voice. In this bleak print advertising market, can this one survive?"

Overheard: "on the subway:
Investment banker 1: "You've been away from California now for a while, do you miss it?"They later went on to discuss technology venture capital, but I tuned out."
I-banker 2, pausing: "Not really."
I-banker 1: "Yeah, I don't blame you."
