A Welcome and a Reminder or Two

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on July 9th, 2004

We would like to welcome all new SHECKYmagazine readers! Since our re-design, we’ve seen an uptick in the amount of traffic to our site– and a significant jump in the number of new readers. To the new readers: If you hit the “subscribe” button at the top of this page, you’ll receive the occasional (and we stress occasional) email letting you know when significant new hunks of content have been uploaded or informing you of special events like SHECKYmagazine columnist Tom Ryan’s upcoming Letterman appearance or advanced notice of DVD giveaways!

We’d also like to remind readers that we’ll be trekking northward to Montreal on July 21 to file the first of four daily updates from the Just For Laughs Festival! It’ll be our sixth year in a row providing our readers with lightning fast, entertaining and insightful wrapups of the fascinating events at the world’s largest comedy festival! We’ll bring you the raw data (Who’s in New Faces? The Masters?), the reports (Who did Andy Kindler skewer in the S.O.T.I.A.?) and, of course, the fabulous photos that has made our coverage of JFL a one-of-a-kind phenomenon! (And, if you haven’t read our coverage from past years, what are you waiting for?)

One more thing: We’re proud of our readers– they correctly picked Ant as the next comic booted out of The House on last Tuesday’s L.C.S. This week’s poll tally so far is running pretty weird. (We’ll reveal the results at 8PM EDT, Tuesday!) So we’d like you to take a moment (that’s all it takes!) to hop over there —-> and click on your choice for who gets booted out of The House next week!

Thanks!
