Hey Muppets, Wizards & assorted autonomous Mutants

As a special treat, I give you an advance from
ZiP<http://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Zine>Issue One (release date Jan.
19!) that I hope will illustrate the healing
and transformative power of humor, without stepping on anyone's toes

You guys have no idea how much fun I have with this stuff. If I could
actually make a *living* doing this? omg

Bcc'ing to a few others I haven't talked to in a while, though you may not
get all the Noisebridge in-jokes
