If so I'd really like to know what free gay weekly rag is given out in the bars in your city. Preferably one like Cybersocket that is aimed at the websavvy surfer but I'll take 'club info' & 'local gay news' types too.

If you could post their email addys in your replies it would be really helpful but a publications name/phone number would be cool too!

Thanks Guys

In San Diego, the local bar rag that everyone takes with them is called Rocket. It's a pocket sized magazine targeting the club/bar/adult industry here.

You can speak with Gay & Lesbian Times crew at www.gaylesbiantimes.com or call 619.299.6397 or sales@uptownpub.com.

My current city isnt in the list, but I used to live in seattle so I have their info. The name of the paper is Seattle Gay News, and their URL is http://www.sgn.org/.

You may also want to check out The Stranger, it is an alternative paper that is published weekly there and has a very pro-gay stance and weekly distribution of 75K (when i was working there several years ago, probably more now). http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Home

Ohio - all of it -

in san diego there is "Rocket", "The Gay & Lesbian Times" and "Buzz".

Alas, Austin is torn - its too big to be insignificant, yet not big enough to support its own exclusive bar rag.

For Austin try the New Orleans-based bar rag Ambush.

http://www.ambushmag.com/

Their website has all their circulation and distribution information. Apart from other gay papers, they are stable - they've essentially been doing the same thing since I first encountered them back in 1996. And so many others have either dissapeared or been bought out and changed.

They have good coverage in Austin, plus they are big in New Orleans and Pensacola, Florida. However, I'm not sure if people reveal their armpits in Pensacola. It might attract the gators.

If you need the local gay-mags lemmy know and I will hunt them down for ya

In Montreal it's Fugues - www.fugues.com - but it's in french.

In Quebec I think it's Fugues and RG Mag - www.rgmag.com - but again they're in french.

As far I know there are no english gay mags from either Montreal or Quebec. I'll look later this week and will let you know.

Thanks - LOL They are not 'strange' places I love Australia I actually spent my 18 birthday night at the Casino in Townsville ....I wasn't allowed to get in until midnight :)

Since then I have been back twice once flying into Cairns Northerm Queensland...driving up to Cooktown and then making a six month driving trip all the way to Adalaide where I watched the Penguins come up the beach on Phillip Island :)

i was even on the radio in Brisbane :sleep: (r u bored yet?)

The main reason for producing porn is to enjoy it with travel.

Speaking of which I just decided to jump in the car and head to San Francisco and pick up those two free rags up there...(well I've got to write the trip off somehow! LOL)

Thasnk to all who are posting, its really helping us alot...hopefully U2

Best

Although Phoenix, Arizona was not on your initial list, I recommend you also consider this market. Phoenix is currently ranked the fifth most populated city in the USA plus the city area in square miles is larger than Los Angeles.

Local publications targeted for the LGBT market include:

• X-Factor
  
• Echo Magazine
  
• IONAZ
