On a beautiful Wednesday night, a large group of friends gather to celebrate Watermark’s 20th Anniversary. The festive anniversary party was at the downtown Tampa’s Crumb & Cork. Longtime friend and publisher Tom Dyer was in his glory. Tampa Bay resident and Watermark Editor, Steve Blanchard and all the Orlando staff were there greeting all the guests.
There were favorite magazine covers thru out the room on large poster boards. In the center of the room there was a large screen with 2 projectors showing photos from the past 20 years. 20 years ago MC Film had a video section inside Rainbow City in Orlando. This section was called “The MC Film Neighborhood Video Store. ( There was also one in St. Pete inside Affinity Book Store.)
The owner at Rainbow City Peter, excitedly told us about a new magazine coming called Watermark! He said the new publisher Tom Dyer an attorney in Orlando was in the store and introduced us to him.
Over the next 20 years we have had a great relationship with Watermark. Cheers to a great group of people writing about GLBT issues, acknowledgements and area news.
We are proud to Congratulate our news writing friends!
