FLICKER OF THE WEEK | Suggestions in Full-Motion Arts

Psych. Did you really think we’d go back on our word? (Trust us, we’d love to if we could swing it.) Don’t forget about our proposition from last week in which we’re willing to court exuberant souls who may be interested in taking over “FOW” writing duties. Also, watch C-U Blogfidential tomorrow morning for the standalone “FOW” we’ve promised you. Finally, aiding the funding of C-U Confidential #9 with your advertising dollars and cheerily universal support is our primary drive at the moment; booking ends next Mon., 3/20, but we might let that slide a couple of days for those potential clients who express serious interest in doing business with us to keep our esoteric subculture du C-U in print and, more importantly, in the hands of the readers of Champaign, Urbana, and the cities beyond where it belongs! We would be a tad heartbroken if more than “FOW” would become fin by the end of this Calendar year.
