Hey, my buddy and sometimes editor Merle got a mention in the local rag's film column this week. Which is cool, since this guy usually only mentions the same three friends of his every week. But if you follow the column's link to Alternative Cinema, it won't really do much good, since they haven't updated the magazine's site since fall 2001. Anyway, I'll have a piece in the next issue and will of course announce it here at the appropriate time.
