Hello friends!
For the past year, Hell Gate and Type Investigations have been working the phones, haunting courtrooms, hanging out in strange outerborough political clubhouses, and filing endless requests for transcripts to produce the long-awaited follow-up to the Eric Adams Table of Success, our (first) award-winning collaboration.
Now, please welcome to the stand Courts of Contempt—our investigation into the machinations of New York's broken judicial system. In addition to an interactive website, we've also created a limited-edition, 50-page zine version of the Courts of Contempt. And we want you to have it!
If you're already a Hell Gate Believer-level subscriber, check your inbox in the coming days for an email about how to obtain your zine, for free!
If you're a Hell Gate subscriber at the Friend or Support-level—we have a deal for you! Upgrade your subscription to a Supporter or Believer annual subscription THIS WEEK ONLY, and we'll send you a zine too!
OK, understood! How do I upgrade my subscription?
First, make sure you're logged into our site, then click here. Then next to your subscription level, hit "change" and upgrade to an annual Supporter or Believer! (The annual subscription saves you 17 percent over a monthly subscription.) PLUS, if you upgrade to believer-level, you'll also get this year's swag—a very cool shirt!
So what happens to my existing subscription when I upgrade? How much will it cost me to upgrade?
You'll be refunded for whatever time is left on your existing subscription. As for your new subscription, you're billed at the new rate for the remaining time on your original subscription. Your new subscription will renew at the same time your original subscription would have.
I'm just trying to get a zine here.
Let us explain in greater and more excruciating detail. For example, if you subscribed as an annual Supporter six months ago and paid us $100, here's what happens when you upgrade: You'll get the remaining $50 on your subscription refunded, and you'll only pay for six months of a Believer subscription (i.e., $100, half of the $200 annual rate).
Why did you make me do math? I just wanted a zine.
Believe us, we don't like doing math either.
OK, so you're basically telling me that it makes financial sense for me to upgrade…and you get a very cool zine? And also a shirt if I become a Believer?
Yes!
I will do just that!
Great to do business with you!
