within the pages: our first interviews with His Name Is Alive and Frente, a travel story from Andrew, a memorial to the cars I've killed in my life, loads of back-to-school stories from the staff...with (gulp!) pictures!
interesting facts: This is my favorite issue because it was the first issue designed on an acutal desktop publishing computer program (oh, thank you, David!) and had pretty pictures, clip art and fonts! For the cover and some art inside, I used pictures from my father's high school yearbook (from the year 1967). Also, my super-sweet friend Andrew Grant joined the staff, as well as my friend (and fellow Frente fan), Dave Visschedyk.
the copacetic contest for this issue: Oops! No contest for this issue!
my favorite things about this issue: The cutesy fonts and clip art, David's awesome comic on the last page (he really did all the work...I think I may have contributed one lousy idea...), having more staff members.
my least favorite things about this issue: Yet again, I fail to run spell check! Also, text was cut off from the edges of the pages because of my poor pre-press design.
reviews:
"Anyone who would willingly print a picture of themselves in junior high and/or high school deserves, um, I don't know, but something. Except, they must be rigged because none of them look that bad in their pics...hmm...I know I'm not the only one who went through the awkward-looking stages (mine happened to be grades 3 - sophmore year of college - braces, awkwardly skinny, bad posture, yucky hair - but i never had a perm, I am proud to say)! This is a fun zine. It has interviews with Frente! and His Name Is Alive, as well as a Winona Watch and a tribute to Velocity Girl." --- the always-sweet Barbara from Pop-fly.
"I think Janice is hogging up all my space here. Everyone who reads these pages already has this, right? What? No? What's wrong with you! This is her best issue yet, in my opinion. She and friends revisit high school days and asks questions like "did you ever get beat up" and embarrasing moments stories. Janice got to interview Warren DeFever from His Name Is Alive about high school and stuff. Lots of show reviews. The funniest thing is the list of Janice's list of cars she has destroyed. This is one of my favorites." --- Jeffrey Kickbright (ain't he just a doll?!)
"A great Zine from Dallas recently hit the office of the Internet Herald and no one seems to want to give it up. Janice, the creative genius behind Copacetic seems to have too much time on her hands. Why? That is the only way to explain how damn good this is!!!! Photographs are better here than in some trade publications (Billboard), with great reviews of all the shows that Janice has gone to. Janice doesn't work alone, oh no. She has her friends do great work as well. Dave V. has done an interview with pop stars Frente. Janice also has awsome reviews (of mostly Indie records) and one issue even came with colour change paper (if you touch the paper it turns colour!)" --- Pheiffer 007, I Herald Zine
