The Garage Journal Alliance Is Born!

The Garage Journal Alliance is now a reality. It’s something that I’ve put a lot of heart and soul into. It’s something that I really believe in. Even so, I’m having a hard time putting this milestone of ours into words. I’m sure I will find them eventually, but I just can’t yet. I’ve tried… I’m sure that time will come and when it does you won’t be able to shut me up – promise.

Until then, you can learn more about The Garage Journal Alliance here.

A special thanks to those of you that helped me with this and to all of our Vendors that have worked so hard to make this a real value rather than a perceived one. I owe you all.
