The reporter also e-mailed this to me today:
David--
Yesterday, my editor told Christine James on WATD during his weekly 4p.m.
and 6 p.m. spot about you! She said, "Zombie-Funkenstein? I love it. That
just became my new favorite name." Today she said she tried to go get a
paper to read about you.
You're a mini-celebrity!

WATD (http://www.959watd.com/) is our local (Marshfield is up the street from us) music station. They play a really eclectic blend of rock, oldies, country, etc and do local news as well.

Congradulations Mr. Funkenstein. The article turned out great. And you were nervous?!?!?!?
Buy several copies and send one to mom. She'll love it.

Thanks guys. I was a little nervous because I really had no idea how it was going to turn out. When I met the reporter, I just *knew* it was going to be a good article. She didn't strike me as the type that would do anything malicious or paint me to be some kind of weirdo.
I already have 11 papers that have a home, and I think I'll pick up a few more extras tomorrow just to be safe in case I forgot any of my family or friends.

I'm betting you're using IE and have the "auto-resize to fit" option turned on. With the mouse hovering over the picture, a little "box" should appear in the lower right corner of the image. Click inside that little box and it should expand the image to full-size for you.

Great pics and article Z-F. Congrats of your new celebrity status. With all this publicity you might want to hire an assistant to schedule all your interviews.

Congrats on getting on the paper. It is always cool to to read about someone you know.
Wow, that was kick-ass! Congrats on the notoriety! You know that old saying, "Any press is good press?" Does that still apply if your band has been dead for years?
LOL

Hehe. I always find a way to work that into the equation. She simply asked how I do the voicework and I found that as the perfect opportunity to mention the band gear, which led to mentioning the band. I should have said we were the nigh-legendary punk/metal outfit that invented MEGA ROCK.

What part of Mass are you in? I'd be glad to have you come by... just keep in mind if it's really crazy on Halloween night, I may not have too much time to chat much. I'll do my best to talk to everyone though! :D

I live in Douglas, MA. Over the summer, I drove right by your house on Route 3. I was visiting some friends in Duxbury. I used to work in Quincy for Raytheon down by the Quincy Adams T-Station. I would definately not come on Halloween night. I'll be too busy with my own haunt that night. What other nights is your haunt open?
