I said before that if I had the money I'd start a new version of Worcester Magazine and hire you to run it. I still don't, but I definitely will subscribe. Thank you for not giving up on Worcester entirely.

I don't know who you are, but I subscribed just for the image of blowing up the city with the pawsox mascot. I saved it to my computer. I hope that's okay. Good luck. Grab 'em by the grifter.

To quote the Afghan Whigs: "Bathe the path, shine the light. Better get your ass up on

The mountain, baby, I'll subscribe for $420 tonight" Or something like that. I f**king love both yours and Luke's writing and I seriously love that it's journalism at its finest and most epic. Now I just need to feed the feral kittens some wet food, and listen to some of The Good North, before I sail that Ducati over some railroad tracks.

Good luck, keep up the deep, investigative work. I wish we could talk in person at Nucafe again. IN the meantime, tell me where to send the $69 check!!!!

Even my sixty sum-odd year old parents are sick of where the gazette has been going. They cancelled their subscription recently. Wish I could support you financially, but seeing as I can't....thank you for what you're doing. We're listenin

I got the T&G for thirty years... but the Gatehouse bunch has destroyed it. When Clive Barnes left, I said "enough" and haven't missed it much. But I still am interested in what goes on in Worcester, so your newsletter is welcome.

It's interesting that someone as progressive as you are, has no place in newspapers. Maybe we will get back to objective reporting.

Bill - your yearly subscription of $69 - totals $9 more than a year at the monthly rate - maybe your doing that because it's "funny" as well? But it won't help attract yearly subscribers. imho

Thrilled to see your "articles" won't be published anywhere anymore! I hope you move back outta town now.
