I’ve accumulated over 75 cover stories throughout my professional writing career, and one of the biggest and most exciting accomplishments is my first cover for Inked magazine. Their current Rock ‘N’ Roll issue (dated June/July 2011) spotlights my interview with Scott Ian and Andy Hurley from The Damned Things with a sweet six page spread. It is on stands now, so check it out. The hip lifestyle magazine celebrated the release of their new issue with a party on Saturday night at The Ainsworth in Manhattan. I attended to enjoy the occasion, partake of some libations (courtesy of Sailor Jerry rum) and mix ‘n’ mingle, plus I snapped some shots while I was there. It was a rockin’ evening for all involved.
