Do You Love Me?
"...Your backstage pass and black sunglasses
Make you look just like a queen
Even the fans, they know your face
From all of the magazines, but
Do you love me..."
Are you a Kiss fan?
I think they are so fun (about once every six months), and it's a blast to listen to pull their songs out about that often and enjoy. More often than that and the simplistic chord structures and slowness of their songs starts to bug me. But for adolescent rock, they brought it.
Still working on deadline. Normally, uniformed agents of Federal Express (not Tom Hanks) would deliver a box that included our magazine files on cdr's and a pile of proofs for the printer to start working. Nowadays, though, we are working in an all-PDF environment, so all of those files are being ftp-d over one at a time from our office here. The only thing I need to Fed-Ex over are the proofs. I'm not done proofing the magazine and making corrections to each page and have yet to place the last couple of pages of ads. I came to work early this morning to guarantee that this gets finished today and that the proofs arrive tomorrow morning (with all the files preceding them today). So, I missed the deadline.
sigh.
But by only one day, so production should just be delayed that long as well. Instead of subscriber copies arriving in mailboxes on Friday, Feb 20; they should be arriving by the next day -- Saturday, Feb 21. The newsstand copies should hit the shelves on the same day, Friday, Feb 27 (because they will have made it to the warehouse of the distributor by the 13th of February)...
Gotta go!
