--- IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FROM JUICE MAGAZINE ---
JUICE MAGAZINE has been 100% independently owned and operated by Terri Craft since 1993. JUICE MAGAZINE is in no way affiliated with Pony International or Global Brand Marketing or The Firm. The reason for this announcement is that press releases were sent out on Sept 15, 2003 from Global Brand Marketing Inc to news sources and websites all over the world announcing the launch of a new publication entitled "JUICE MAGAZINE". This action was an infringement of my registered JUICE trademark.

HERE IS COVERAGE OF THE PRESS RELEASE BEING CIRCULATED SEPT 15, 2003 BY GLOBAL BRAND MARKETING...

Pony to Launch Lifestyle Magazine by SportsNewsSource 9/15/2003

Pony International will launch Juice Magazine, a quarterly that will appropriate Pony's outlaw aesthetic into a lifestyle magazine, representing the insurgent innovators of fashion, film, music and sports. Pony's Juice Magazine will be available on December 12, 2003 at lifestyle stores, concerts, events and newsstands worldwide. "Juice will provide a compelling and different access point for the brand," said Killick Datta, Chief Executive Officer of Global Brand Marketing, Inc., majority owner of Pony International. "We believe this new avenue will help broaden the scope of Pony as the brand leader of innovators and prove that we're not scared to try something new." The title boasts hallmark writers from The Conan O'Brien Show, The Simpsons, The Harvard Lampoon, Six Feet Under, Comedy Central and MTV, whose presence will integrate a comedic and irreverent edge to its grade of journalism and anthropological studies. They will also combine storyboards and visual communication through masterful photography for less inclined readers whose rapid lifestyle leaves little time for reading. Pony's Juice Magazine will be published jointly by Pony International and Kashy Khaledi, an independent publisher whose credits include Mean Magazine and Lollapalooza Magazine respectively. "If the cultural bar is being raised, you will find it in this magazine," said Khaledi. "In doing so, you've got to have "juice."

After receiving this announcement regarding the new "JUICE MAGAZINE", a cease and desist letter was sent to Killick Datta, the CEO of Global Brand Marketing Inc, and to Kashy Khaledi, the editor of the proposed new magazine. Don't be confused by any similar announcements or press releases you may read.

JUICE MAGAZINE UPDATE
On Sept 18, 2003, I received a letter of apology from the general counsel to Global Brand Marketing, Inc. - parent company of The Firm, Pony International and the proposed and erroneously titled "JUICE MAGAZINE". In the letter, GBMI acknowledged my rights to my trademark for JUICE. Apparently, GBMI was mislead by Kashy Khaledi regarding the availability of the JUICE brand name. They have assured me that they will in no way utilize the word "JUICE" in their new magazine title.

SEPT 19, 2003 - PONY INTERNATIONAL RELEASED THIS RETRACTION TO THE PRNEWSWIRE SERVICE.

Pony International, the world's leading modern fashion performance brand, today announced that it will rename its publication previously announced in its September 15th 2003 press release to be named Pony's Juice Magazine. The new title will be released at a later date...

UPDATE - SEPT 22 - HERE'S COVERAGE OF TODAY'S STORY IN SPORTS EXECUTIVE WEEKLY...

PONY Loses Some Juice…
Earlier last week Pony parent company, GBMI, announced that they would be teaming up with publisher Kashy Kaledi to launch a new lifestyle magazine called Juice, but the company was forced to pull the name after it was discovered that the name has already been in use for the last ten years. Turns out Juice Magazine is a Skate, Surf and Punk-Rock publication that originated in Wrightsville Beach, NC, but is now published from Venice Beach, CA... Juice Editor and CEO Terri Craft told SEW, “I do feel that Pony is directly targeting our market. There has already been a great deal of confusion… as to whether I sold my company to Pony International.” When contacted for comment, GBMI said they had no comment until their dealings directly with Juice are complete, but the company did release a statement Friday saying they would be changing the name of their magazine. GBMI did say the trademark issues have not delayed the December 12 target release of the new publication, but the new name has yet to be determined.

JUICE MAGAZINE is proud to announce our very special 10-year anniversary issue which will soon be released and distributed all over the world. Thank you for your support. Terri Craft - CEO - Juice Enterprises, Inc. / Juice Magazine

PRESS RELEASE - Midwest Bowlriders Contest Series - The 1st annual Midwest Bowlriders Series is a “triple crown”-styled series of bowl skating contests held in three of the upper Midwest’s finest skateparks August through October 2003.

The organizers of Midwest Bowlriders are actively seeking sponsors for prize donations. Interested companies should contact Bill Morgan at 612-229-5799 or send e-mail to info@midwestbowlriders.com. The first stop of the Midwest Bowlriders Contest Series kicked off August 23rd at the 4 Seasons Skatepark in Milwaukee, WI. Stop number two of the Midwest Bowlriders Contest Series is September 27th at the Modern Skate & Surf Skatepark in the Centerpointe Mall in Grand Rapids, MI. This skatepark features a 5’, 7’ and 9’ concrete triple pool built by Team Pain. The deep end has 1’ of vert with tiles and hand-shaped pool coping. http://www.modernskate.com/index.htm. The Midwest Bowlriders Contest Series finale will be held October 25th at the 3rd Lair Skatepark in Minneapolis, MN. The bowl at 3rd Lair is an ultra smooth, solid 5’ and 9’ keyhole built by Plywood Benders. http://www.3rdlair.com/.

SAN PEDRO, CA - Work has started on the back bowl at the San Pedro skatepark. It will be the largest singe obstacle in the place. This is exciting as it will put a cap on the end of the park adding a high potential for speed and "huck-ability" within the park. Their web site is www.sanpedroskateparkassociation.org (10 worthwhile minutes of dirty skate barge documentation.) Props go to Rob, Andy and their army, for their vision and follow through.

JOHNNY CASH

1932-2003

Sept 12th, 2003, the world mourned the passing of "The Man in Black". Johnny Cash often said that he wore black as a "symbol of the downtrodden". Cash also said many times that he tried to speak for ``voices that were ignored or even suppressed in the entertainment media, not to mention the political and educational establishments.'' Without question, Johnny Cash was a great inspiration to many. May he rest in peace.
