I was just wondering....
Father Luke
Does anyone in here read SHECKYmagazine?
They asked me if I wanted to write an article about quiting comedy.
Thanks all.
Leslie

For what it's worth, Leslie, yes I do read Shecky.
I've found it great fun a*n*d informative,
no matter how you sepell (sp. ?) it.
I believe your article would be well received.
And, speaking for myself, I would enjoy reading anything by you
until the day the world of comedy may welcome you back with open arms.
All the best,
Father Luke

Every month, it's a great read for anyone in the comedy business. Since you
post in here you will see other ACS members being interviewed or writing
aritcles for it.
>They asked me if I wanted to write an >article about quiting comedy.
Do it. But make sure you use a spellcheck so you're quitting instead of
quiting.

Depends if you meant it as an insult or a proposal.

Hell Yeah!!!!!!!! I read it all the time. They have a ton of great
articles and I got to know a few comics I had no information about
before.
I think it's great they are sticking around.
Good luck with your article!

want to know? I mean, over and above what you
might glean from READING THE THREE ISSUES THAT ARE
UP THERE ON THE WEB RIGHT NOW?
You're behaving like someone who might actually
get paid for writing an article. (You won't--
no one does--not even us!)
And what's with all this sneaking around in front
of my back? (If you'll recall, I contacted you
after seeing your post on...alt.comedy.standup)
Oh, well. It was nice to hear some of the folks
on the newsgroup say nice things.
BTW:
HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - Z.com laid off 50 workers -- half of its staff --
Monday, as the entertainment Netcaster secured a lifeline enabling it to
stay in business at least into next spring.
"It's a tough time," Z.com CEO Joe DiNunzio told Daily Variety. The
layoffs affected staffers across the board.
"Today's a very challenging day to have to let some really talented
people go, but it's in the best interest of the company. We remain
focused to turn this into a viable business."

If not, will someone please grab the comedy.com domain? I just spent
a lot of money on business cards and mailing labels...

If the electoral college vote is a 269-269 tie (which is mathematically
possible this year), who is assumes the presidency and how is the tie broken.
I heard somebody on the radio say that Strom Thurmond would be next in line and
that the house would break the tie, but that doesn't sound right to me.

Brian,
I didn't mean to insult you. I always try and research anything beforeI
undertake a project. I thought asking the question in the forum would give a
me greater idea of who reads SHECY and how it was received.
Kind of like asking people who have purchsed a particular type of car before
you buy it, regardless of how much you believe what the salesmen told you about
it.
And I realized I wasn't going to get paid. Again I apologize if I seem
skeptical or seem weird about it. But hell I'm still a comic at heart, what
the heck do you expect!?!?
Thanks again for the request (offer) to put my thoughts into a larger forum. I
will be submitting something shortly to you. If you'll still have me.
Thanks.
Leslie

Insulted?
Nahh.
Perplexed?
Maybe.
Never had anyone do that before.
To answer your questions (in a decidedly PUBLIC forum),
the magazine is read by standup comics, standup comedy
fans and industry-types from 47 countries.
Our contributors are all standup comics, as are the
editors. Even our internet service provider is a former
practicing comic.
We've been on the WWW for 19 months and we're gathering
more readers every month. We've interviewed Mitch Hedberg,
Dick Cavett, A. Whitney Brown, Shelley Berman, Dr. Will Miller,
Bob Zany among others.
We've featured some of the brightest and funniest writers in
the entertainment business today, including writers from The
Dennis Miller Show, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Late
Show with David Letterman and The Tonight Show.
In the spring of 2001, we will celebrate the second anniversary
of our launch with the SHECKYmagazine.COMICS-Only Reunion a
three-day debauch in downtown Las Vegas, April 1,2,3.
SHECKYmagazine.com is not a so-called "corporate" site. It
is not backed by venture capitalists or a large entertainment
conglomerate. It was started and is edited and published by
husband and wife standup comics Brian McKim and Traci Skene.
Each issue is lovingly hand-crafted in the U.S.A.
SHECKYmagazine.com has been featured in the Philadelphia
Inquirer, the Dallas Morning News, the Boston Globe the
Detroit Free Press and on WCBS NewsRadio (NYC).

If the President and Vice President both die, the speaker of the house
is next
in line. But that's irrelevant to an election tie.
In case of a tie, the house makes the decision.
> should have paid more attention in social studies
If more people paid more attention to a lot of things, there wouldn't
be much work for lawyers.
