Who the Hell do we think we are?
SMUG is "craft brewed" by media whores from all walks of life.
Leslie Harpold, Publisher
In a desperate plea to star in her own infommercial, Leslie publishes
SMUG from a tiny cupboard in Hell's Kitchen. Originally from Royal Oak,
Michigan, she moved to Manhattan on a dare, having never been there.
She is also the "7th sexiest person on the Internet" according
to The
Net magazine. She likes pleats.
Todd Levin is a 28 year old man with all of his baby teeth, who grew
up thinking that French kissing involved smacking a girl around a bit.
He writes, paints, speaks, and taps keys like a chicken playing tic-tac-toe.
College made him angry, work made him stupid, but God made him hopeful.
He is open to suggestions.
Joe Procopio lives a wildly happy yet ultimately strange life. On a
quest to prove you can coast all the way to the end on charm, he spends
most of his time trying to convince famous and otherwise important people
that he isn’t impressed. In his spare time, he fronts a band called
Brilliant, has extracted a novel and a half, and runs a madcap little
operation known as intrepid
media. He's also a spy!
Josh is CEO of Fireland
Text Products, Inc. and is still stabbing blindly into the dark,
cold realm of the internet, hoping someday to connect with warm animal
flesh and puncture it, cause severe bleeding, subdural hematoma, blown
pupils, diaphoresis, cardiac tamponade, urethral disruption, and/or
intra-abdominal hemorrhaging.
There's so much to say about Ben Auburn we're afraid to go into detail
here for fear he will make us all look like slackers. Suffice it to
say that after the next Smug Team building seminar and self esteem raising
encounter weekend, we will allow Ben to say a little about himself and
try to reassure ourselves that we are fit to tie his shoes.
Secretly famous Brian Thomas was born in rat infested squalor in the
filthy back alleys of Chicago, where he still resides today. Although
he has drawn and written hundreds of comic-books that have been feverishly
snapped up by collectors for pagan ritual burning ceremonies, he still
needs to get his "kicks" by watching lots and lots of movies
and getting paid to make fun of them. Apparently it's some kind of sick
joke.
Scout Finch
Like the retirement community he lives in, Sherman T. Biswick is sometimes
referred to as "shady." He fears telemarketing scams, therefore does
not answer his phone. His collection of JFK collectible plates have
won various and sundry prizes, and his favorite pharmacy is Walgreens.
Fifteen year freelance illustrator, comics hack and short order cook,
Mark Zingarelli finds inspiration in film noir, hardboiled fiction and
warm Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
Nicole Markee, Search Engine
Maker
Regular people exchange flowers, but Nicole was kind enough to give
the gift that keeps on giving, the Smug search
engine to Leslie for her birthday. Nicole works her Perl voodoo
all over the country, but is shacked up in Reston, VA for the time being.
She hopes you like Bastro and is thinking about your natal chart.
Ann is very talented and patient, and wet nursed SMUG through it's
inception. She owns Modern
Solutions, an internet presence provider. She patently refused to
enter the pissing match that was the bio writing ceremony, being the
only one with the confidence to let her work speak for itself.
Are You SMUG?
At SMUG, we are always looking for bright ideas and unusual
takes on media, music, and all things relevant to the thinking woman
or man. Political correctness is firmly eschewed, strong opinions are
always embraced. If you have any comments or suggestions, please send
them here.
