Patti and I have been talking about adding a news aspect to the site for the past year or so and today we have gone live with our very own news outlet located at http://news.rivetbangers.com.

We are launching the site and will be using it to cover Oshkosh '09. If you can't make it this year please feel free to sit back and let us canvas the activities for you. If you have something specific that you would to see or know about please let us know via pm or email.

Alternatively you if you have a story that you think is worth sharing please pass that long as well.

Looking forward to serving you all in the upcoming days.

John & Patti

Spike & Patti,

This is freakin' awesome! I applaud your new venture and look forward to the "inside scoop" at Airventure as well as events to come.

The content is a bit sparse at the moment; I'm waiting to get my hands on the press package on Sunday to figure out my "semi-final" coverage schedule. Hang in there, I'll figure this thing out. :lmao:

Feedback as to if this is something you guys are watching or not would be great. We are trying to get a feel for its consumption.

Add my name to the list of folks who have never been to Oshkosh, who really appreciate this. This is great! For those of us who can't come for whatever reason, it's great to know the news firsthand.
