What the hell...we decided to do something cool and make up special "media badges" for everyone who has signed up to be a Music Fog fan reporter. They'll be complete with your name and reporter number. Just email your address to me (it's in my profile on the left column) and I'll mail one out to you for free! The crummy cell-phone picture here is Jeff's new badge; he's number 001.

So, when your badge arrives in the mail, you can slap it around your neck and use it to scam your way backstage at the next show you attend. This may not work, and you may get beaten up or arrested for trying, so if anything bad happens we'll deny ever making these for you!

In the spirit of full disclosure, we'd like to officially announce the Music Fog "Million-Dollar Ad" on Craigslist. "What is it for," you ask? Well, traveling around the country to cover music festivals (along with the equipment you need to accomplish this) costs a ton of money. And since UNICEF doesn't fund new media companies, we need to get cash somewhere else. So we figured we'd start with a crazy ad on a shady classifieds website. That's how we roll, folks!

Yes, we're officially looking for a sponsor or two help us bring this amazing music to the masses. But let me make this heartfelt promise to all of you: should we gain a sponsor or two, we'll do everything in our power to make sure that this site does not get crammed with tasteless ads or pop-ups. Nobody wants to look at an annoying website, we get that.

If you get a chance, check the ad out and if you dig it, then flag it for the "Best of Craigslist." That would be really cool.
