Hello..? Is anybody out there..?!
Hello…..Hello…? Is anyone there…? To tell you the truth, I have only myself to blame if there isn’t…
First off, my most humble apologies to all the readers and listeners who have been coming back here to diecastAUDIO for the last month looking for new content. Its been forever and a day since my last post, and I feel horrible for letting you all down with the lack of posts. My current daily schedule and responsibilities are making it extremely difficult to focus on digging up the “very best of” diecast goodness you are used to seeing, much less produce the podcast on a regular basis. With that being said, this is certainly not the end of diecastAUDIO.
This summer will bring about quite a few changes in both the site and its content. First off, you’ll notice the brand new logo at the top of the site courtesy of Bryan Pope of Pope Designs! Bryan’s fresh new logo will be the first part of an entire overhaul of the site including a completely new site design that will be launched later this year.
You’ll also note the new Summer Smash banner on the left column! If you have the means, I highly suggest making your way to Rhode Island for the first ever (and annual) Summer Smash. Its the single largest diecast convention on the east coast this year, and from the looks of the activity list and special guests, its not to be missed! I’ve got my ticket purchased and room reserved, so you can count on a lot of lot of audio interviews and video footage being created from the show. And…there might be a special-super-secret diecastAUDIO related surprise being revealed there as well! If you have any intention of going, be sure to get your ticket and book your room asap, as space is limited.
Lastly, I’d like to say that prior to the recent lull in posting, the number of comments being left on my posts was really starting to grow. Back when I started diecastAUDIO, I chose the blog format because as we all know, there are more than enough diecast forum sites to enjoy out there. Plus, its the best platform for distributing podcasts as well. The ability to comment on a post is the sole way for you (the reader) to participate in the conversation and lend your opinion to what I’m posting. I truly cherish each and every comment that you leave – partly because its a validation that someone is actually reading, but mostly because I really want to know what you think and converse with you more!
So as I get things rolling again, I encourage you to speak your mind and let me know what you think of the posts by leaving comments. What do you wish I was doing more or less of? Are there diecast companies that I’m not covering that you’d like to see more posts on? More video? More audio? Or how about new authors? Now there’s a thought. Do you have the knack for spotting the cool stuff thats happening in the world of diecast? Would you like to contribute to this site? Send an email with your ideas and thoughts to blog [at] diecastaudio.com and we’ll see if there’s a fit!
Thanks for sticking with me. You won’t regret it!

I still come back to take a look from time to time. Like you said there are lots of diecast sides out there and it´s hard to visit everyone frequently.
With germany being dry in diecast for quite a time now (or maybe it´s actual me not finding anything new) I stepped back in collecting a bit but still your sides are always nice to visit and take a look… diecastaudio as also diecastvideo.
So keep up the good work. Family, work and thinks like this have always to come first before our well loved hobby.

Sascha,
You’ve always been a loyal friend of diecastAUDIO! Thanks for commenting and if there is ever anything cool happening in diecast over where you are, I’d be more than happy to share it with the rest of the diecastAUDIO community here on the site!
Cheers, Jeff
