BBB's Blog
If you've ever wondered what it's like to run a magazine or how crazy my personal life is, be sure to read the behind-the-scenes peek at the daily trials and tribulations of running True West.

I probably own fifty. Okay, maybe 175 counting stunt and model hats. Alright, 395 counting my cap collection. But that's it.
I went home for lunch and brought back a tie or two and Robert Ray shot some new promo shots in our office for Grant's website. We sent him four to choose from. Here they are:
