Signs that we are getting closer to becoming a TRUE alt weekly...
The alt weekly industry is full of -- for the most part -- young folks. Many of these young folks are (how do I put this...) unique.
As I was blowing my nose in the men's room (I think the flu has entered my vessel), I looked out the window and saw the two extremes of our youthful staff:
1. Steven, our listings editor, was walking briskly back to the office in a shirt and tie, carrying his lunch to eat at his desk. Steven also made an EXACT WOODEN REPLICA of our logo -- complete with lights -- while he was at his parents' house last weekend. Simply put, the boy is driven.
2. At the same exact time, Will, one of our distribution guys and a part-time employee at a local record store, was skateboarding around the parking lot before setting off to do his route. Will is also quite driven, albeit in a different way.
...And then there's Mesh. He smokes a lot.

Incessant smoking a universal sign of a true alt weekly...
