I normally don’t pick up the Alive these days, but I was eating lunch alone (sigh), my meal was taking forever to be served, and their paper was the only one available.
Most interesting story I read was this one about the new project from the members of Hugs & Kisses. I don’t know much about the group besides Jimi’s interview in Punk Zine with Phonzie, but their set at Comfest, pictured above, was by far the best performance I’ve ever seen at the annual event.
So the group is going in a new direction complete with a new name but the Alive won’t print it. Couldn’t you have at least give us some hints? Maybe some dashes in substitute of letters? How about something it rhymes with? It will be interesting to see if the “racial slur” is really ”incredibly inflammatory.”
Like so many times before I’ve vowed to just forget about reading the Alive, and being lonely at lunch is no longer an excuse.

Just saw this post on donewaiting about graffiti. If you’re in the need for a good laugh watch both news clips.
