Plotting and planning (Beat The Streetz newsletter)

!! Due date design contest: August 15th !!

A new logo. A new website. A new blog. A new year.

Yes. A lot of new things. Almost sounds like christmas huh? Well, we don't have any presents for you (aaaaaaaaaw), but we have some great new stuff to share (yeeeeey!)

- First of all: The new logo. Thanks to Nielsen Ramon, our super webmaster. I like it. It's fresh, it's clean, it speaks for itself and it says 'hip hop'. So big ups to our designer! In due time, you'll be able to order merchandise with the new logo on it.

- Second: A new website. I don't know if you have checked www.beatthestreetz.com yet? We're switching from the 'boombox' website to another lay-out, which will be easier to use, very clean and simple. You can find all the info you need on there. You can become a member by simply sending the form directly from the website and there will be a few other features on there that should make the website 'users-friendly'.
--> Talking about membership. Now is the time to subscribe! We're offering the first year FOR FREE!!

- Third: Beat The Streetz finally claimed it's spot in the blog world. Bookmark http://beatthestreetz.blogspot.com and keep an eye on us. As we'll be keeping an eye on the (Belgian) hip hop scene. CD - party - concert reviews, street fashion, tips, artist promotions, online contests and anything hip hop related. Follow the blog and feel free to contribute (by sending your article + photos + video to this email address)
