(In which case, I?d have dropped the designation of ?humor? heading each piece; making readers guess if a story was supposed to be funny was part of the fun.) Into...
...money we make is just going towards the next project, so it’s really just about keeping things going,” says Zaccagnino. “We’ve already started talking to a couple of groups about doing full EPs or LPs, and I think our general plan is that we’d like to have, every year, a compilation disc of different bands and a big CD release party in the spring...
