Oh yes, I have heard it. All of it. Did you really think we would leave you high-and-dry like that? From little love notes on the gallery door, to people calling, and mumbling under their breath, believe me, I know you’ve all been waiting to find out “What the heck is going on with NakedCity?” Admittedly, I wanted to see just how much hubbub I would actually witness if I just sort of kept things hush-hush for a month or three. And I can tell you that I am relieved that it has been A LOT! I gave you a little teaser on my Facebook status back in October of 2011 letting you know I was dreaming of what to create for you next. I wasn’t kidding. And although we had planned to have this new-and-improved NakedCity in your hands by January 1, it has taken my team and I a bit longer to put this book together. Here is what you have to look forward to because of it:
1. NakedCity Magazine will now be published 6 times per year
2. NakedCity Magazine will now be 64 pages plus a beautiful spot-varnished cover
3. NakedCity now has 6, brand new categories
4. NakedCity will now print and distribute 15,000 magazines, up from the 10,000 we did in the past
5. NakedCity will now be a larger format than before….bigger photos, bigger articles, bigger ads, bigger, bigger, bigger!
Basically, it’s NakedCity on steroids. We will still have the same awesome coverage of local music, concerts, artists, theater, and urban life in Wichita written by the author’s you’ve grown to love, only now there is even more.
To celebrate our new changes, I would like to offer all businesses* that have considered advertising with NakedCity a chance to test the waters and allow us to make you a believer! For one issue only, if you call me TODAY, Friday, January 13, 2012, I will let you make me an offer. You tell me what ad size you want and what you are willing to pay for it. I want you in this first beautiful book. Give me a call today at 316.708.6090. Yes, I’m posting my personal phone number for you to call me directly. Let’s chat. Let me help you reach the hippest, smartest, most active audience in Wichita….and you name the price. Space is limited though, so don’t waste time. Once it’s sold out, there will be no more. Geeez, I sound like a really bad infomercial.
I can’t wait to hear from you today! HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!

So pretty much you are cutting costs and groveling for advertising revenue (“Lord help us, we’ll take any offer!”), as you continue to dodge the people to whom you still owe money (from ages ago and surely the present).
Cut yourselves a break and just stop. Wichita doesn’t need you and most of Wichita doesn’t like you.

Ignore the haters. I’ve missed your magazine. I’m wondering though, when you first launched, you made free subscriptions available and I was fortunate enough to receive one of those. But then, they stopped showing up in my mailbox after several months. I’m not sure what happened. Maybe that was a limited time deal. I don’t get in to the city of Wichita too often but I sure do enjoy the magazine when I get a chance to see one. Thanks for the work your team does to put together the magazine. If that free subscription ever comes around again, count me in.

We’ve had a pretty good response to this offer so we are extending it though the beginning of next week! Tell your favorite local business to call. Thank you.

i don’t know what’s up “captain obvious’s” butt, but it’s obvious he’s some internet troll with the maturity of a seventh grader with a grudge. i love both the magazine and the gallery, and i think wichita is a much richer and art-filled place with both of them blossoming. keep up the good work, carrie and all the rest! i’d like to see captain poppypants do better! it’s so much easier to tear down someone’s efforts than to contribute to them!

Yea pump up the volume! You guys have done so much already, and we want you here to stay!! Wichita businesses: show your support for Wichita’s art and culture. Good people of Wichita: Let’s show some love to the people that make NakedCity possible – without it we’d all be dull boys.

No other magazine in the Wichita area captures the pulse of the city like Naked City Magazine. I have seen quite a few try but they are always lacking something. May be it’s the passion, blood, sweat, and tears that Carrie and her team have given. After being a Wichita staple for 5 years now I am excited to see Naked City transform into something greater than before and help Wichita take that next step we need to become the great city we can be. Thank you, Carrie and team for your dedication, hard work, and perseverance. This city would not be the same without you. I am looking forward to many more years of reading your magazine.

Just ignore the ignorant…it’s all just jealousy! Naked City speaks to the rhythm and heartbeat of Wichita…it’s only growing stronger…with all the amazing people working for them…this year of transformation will be nothing short of pure magic. I am thankful that such a wonderful print magazine still exists.

Congrats on the upgrade. I’m certain it will be worth the wait. I’ve always enjoyed the fact that you choose to bring Wichita a bounty of substance laced with a wicked kind of spice. It is far from being a dirty little pleasure to see who went where with whom. I recently read an article about ascension and it mentioned that doing nothing is far more commendable than doing something… if even only a small portion of its merit is for the perceived recognition it may garner for a group or individual. To me, it seems too many others in this city prefer the latter. This year, according to many yet disbelieved by even more, will usher in a greater sense of spirituality and awareness. In its path it will leave behind the materialism society seems to worship and a realization of the useless envy and praise placed at its feet which wears the latest Jimmy Choo heels. It will be a pleasure to stand by someone who obviously already ahead of the time. Thanks Carrie!
