First try

 I am working on an article for DECAL that outlines my attempts to recruit promo items on the internet.

If anyone has any tips, please let me know via Email at phil.bytheway@gmail.com.

Hopefully, I will publish my thoughts in an upcoming issue (not sure if I will finish by next week).

BTW, deadline for the next issue is 10/31... contributions welcome at any time.
