Building From Idol

Well it's September, and that means that the Small Press Idol competition has come to an end, so the big question is...how did we do? While we're still waiting for some final numbers/votes to trickle in, it would appear that Faction solidified their number position, leaving the Underground in a respectable second place. I must say that I am proud of how we did, adn how much I myself learned in the last six months. It was an experience unmatched by any other. What makes me even more proud is how we are responding to the results. And when I say 'we', I do mean 'we'.
As mentioned before, I've started up a Creative Development Team to help produce and promote The Underground. We held our first official meeting this September 1st with the SPI still fresh in our minds and our hearts. We spoke for a long while about what the contest has taught us adn where to go from here. While I don't want to give alot away right now, rest assured that The Underground is continuing to progress in a positive way, to due the continued efforts of a few people that you should be familiar with...
Giovanna Reaume: My beautiful wife. She is my partner in life and therefore any thing I strive for therein. My strength and guidance, she has done more than her share before the C.D. Team ever came to be. In the coming weeks you will see her work in the Facebook group, and through posts on the Dimestore site.
Chris Walker: A good friend of mine, Chris has already been helping me with teh story, starting with Issue #0. You'll be seeing Chris' name more often as he begins to help out with the Facebook group, the Dimestore posts, and other online projects yet to be announced.
Adriana McVicker: I've known Addy almost as long as I've known my wife, and neither one of us has gone crazy yet, that's got to count for something! Addy is stepping into the tedious task of promotions and P.R. for lack of a better explanation. She'll be spearheading the effort to find more stores and locations to carry The Underground.
John Burns: A.K.A. J-Bunny! A down-right great guy, Johnny has joined the team in an effort to further develop the story and grab the horns of a couple online projects that we have not announced yet. oooooOOOOooooo. Is the suspense killing you? Sorry.

I'm very excited about this team, and coming out of our first 'real' meeting I know I've made a great choice in the individuals chosen. So like I said, stay with us because there's alot more stuff about to happen and even if you don't have all the details yet...The Underground is about to get much more exciting!
