the paper

so i decided that i want to start a local paper.
i got the idea randomly looking at a "coffee times" in a biscuitville in raleigh (and i always said nothing good ever happened in raleigh).
its a simple long page, sort of old style paper, folded once.
articles in the middle, ads along the edge.
reading yes weekly and rhino times while wating on food is almost intolerable, there is so much bullshit.
also, i have some of the most talented friends ever, and i want to put their talents to good use, and get them some recognition for them, and if possible get us all paid, son.

so here is the tentative line up:

columns/articles

movie reviews - kyle milton
world in review - kevin wood
editorial/really anything - mika chance
astrology - lee ann
eats (food reviews) - sawyer beaton
book reviews- allyson deaton
stranger than fiction (weird news)- myself
miss understood (advice column) - adrienne testa
beer of the week - kevin purcell

other things:

local happenings - brought to you by whysobored & my favorite things
new music releases/college radio top 10 - brought to you by wuag/wqfs
new on dvd (by video review?)
sudoku/crossword - stolen from somewhere
word of the day
this week in 1980
comics - victor devlin, brad neely (creased comics), married to the sea
deal of the week
carousel movie times
trivia question - kevin wood


possible things that we may or may not do eventually:

mix tape download
free song from a local band download
connect the dots
new/old music reviews - sawyer
comic drama wrap up - vic
sports - michael sileno
classifieds/free to a good home (classifieds)

im still trying to come up with a catchy name for the whole thing.
if anybody has any suggestions AT ALL, for a name, or a something you think it needs, content wise, do not hesitate to contact me!!!

I think you should call it 'Underbelly.' Good luck with the project. I will definitely be a reader.
