SUMMER PARTY AND ISSUE 3 MAGAZINE LAUNCH!

Let's make this clear: you would be insane to not come to the SMASH SUMMER PARTY: ROCK, PAPER, RAYGUN!. Sure, we'll have free food, beer, music and visuals like all the other schmucks in town. BUT we'll have a photo back-drop and lights set up with props from outer space so that you and all your buddies can get a professional portrait shot by Justin or Garrett. You can then download that picture from our website and re-live this magical evening for ever and ever. AND you'll be some of the first to get a look at the newest SMASH NEWS MAGAZINE. Not to mention all the people there will be really good looking and ready to party their faces off.

WHERE TO PICK IT UP ISSUE 3

Not lucky enough to live in Des Moines? Planning on killing yourself if you can't get your hands on the magazine as soon as it comes out? DON'T DO IT! The SMASH MAGAZINE is distributed across Iowa so that all over our great state, June 26th will be a day of celebration. Here's where to pick it up:

Sioux City: Meet Virginia
West Des Moines: Blond Genius
Ames: Cafe Diem and Stomping Grounds

So if you're in any of those cities, run in on June 26 and grab your issue to cherish. And if you're not in one of those cities, you either want to plan on getting to one, or killing yourself.

And last but not least, the magazine launch party: ROCK, PAPER, RAYGUN!

WEBSITE UPDATE
