I'll be writing again this year.

[Phobia]

I'm writing for a local fishwrap covering the Chiefs again this year. I'll be spamming my crap on ChiefsPlanet again. It's a small newspaper and I have no expectations of any sort.

I'm also doing a BBQ column and a home improvement section.

Should be fun.

You guys should do a Chiefs madlib.

"LJ sneezed over the pile!? HAHAHHAHA."

[Hammock Parties]

Will they pay you $500?

Cool, you should have much more room to type there.

Oh, are they paying you more than $500?

A question so pertinent it needed to be asked twice!

[DaneMcCloud]

Nice! I'm looking forward to the BBQ & Home Improvement articles. I'm sure your Chiefs stories will be informative and well written, but it's always nice to read about BBQ recipes and techniques. Home improvement tips are always greatly appreciated.

Good luck!

[Thig Lyfe]

I bet it turns out this "fishwrap" is the Kansas City Star. You're so modest, Phob.

I'll be accepting advertisement. Since it's a local paper, hopefully it will reduce my $400 a month fuel expenditures from me driving to Olathe and OP for projects.

I may also parlay the BBQ thing into a PT catering gig in the future. I'm undecided on whether I want to pursue that venture further.

It's not. It has a circulation of 9,000, but that's still 9x more readers than the last gig I had.

Read them again, two different questions.

Based on the BBQ I had at your party last April I suggest going for it.

[greg63]

True, but pertaining to the same topic. ...My apologies. :)

[Phobia]

FWIW, the $500 joke is no longer accurate. As of Wednesday, it is now $600.

Inflation. Gotcha

I just had somebody from the Planet ask me about catering a tailgate event at Arrowhead next season. Since I catered an event for him Thanksgiving last year and he's coming back for more, I musta done good. Heh.

[Phobia]

Nah, got paid more money for last year.

I like reading others that share my style, so why not embrace the whole "informal, amature (or immature) schtick"?

Phil, that's very cool. How did you get involved with that paper?

[Phobia]

Phil, that's very cool. How did you get involved with that paper?

I want to be active in my community. I figured that by writing for the local rag I'd get to know people and they would get to know me. Plus it's fun. I called up the editor this afternoon and pitched myself. The editor asked for some samples so I sent the Warpaint stuff. Arrived home tonight to an email with a "Yes".

I'm doing a home improvement piece for the next issue that deals with the Masonite siding class action lawsuit. I'd venture to say 75% of our community is affected and less than half of them have filed claims, so hopefully it will be welcomed and put money into homeowner's pockets.

[Fat Elvis]

1000 people actually pay for WPI?

[Phobia]

For the magazine, yes. The premium subscriptions were around 400 when I left.

Spare me the "google it" response but what?

For many years, builders put cheap, garbage siding on homes nationwide. It was sold and branded under the Masonite name. Despite known problems; "rot, buckle, discolor, deteriorate, and cause damage to other structural parts of the buildings into which it is incorporated", Masonite settled a class action lawsuit against them but continued to manufacture and sell the sub-par product. The class-action expires this coming January and only a small percentage of the affected population have actually participated in the claim.

Do you think you will get your (dammit I really need to read the f*cking thread) this time.:p

Actually good news I enjoy the perspectives you take.

Thank you...interesting....how would one find out what kind of siding they have on their home?

[Phobia]

One can attempt the red-tape of the suit themselves, which requires you to send a sample to determine if your siding is a part of the lawsuit. However, that process is rather arduous, time consuming, and confusing (by design, I suspect) so many claims assistance companies have sprouted up all around the country. You can contact them and they'll come out to verify for you. If you use them, they'll take a hefty portion of your money - I think I agreed to give them 30 or 35%.

Who are you again?

[NewChief]

Does the paper have a website or online edition?

[Mile High Mania]

Good deal - sounds fun, you know if you ever get the urge to write an article on fantasy football (or even a pure humor piece that is somewhat related to football)... well, I may know of a site that would work with ya.

[trndobrd]

If you can score press credentials let us know so we can feed you some questions. Oh, and give Rhonda Moss a big, wet kiss for me.

[Fire Me Boy!]

Post the BBQ stuff too!

[tomahawk kid]

Be sure that she shaves first.

[Luzap]

Look forward to reading it.

Luz
have fun...

[crazycoffey]

congrats, I look forward to giving you harsh criticism.

[Phobia]

Does the paper have a website or online edition?
It does. I'm not giving the link until I actually publish something because it kinda pinpoints the area in which I live to a 4-town area. Given past results, we're more protective of our personal information.

[Sure-Oz]

congrats

I don't see that happening. I opted out of all fantasy football activity last year. Didn't miss it a bit. In fact, it reduced my frustration quite a bit.

[ROYC75]

Great ..... Your first story can be " What do you call this ? "

Seriously, props on the new gig, hope it pays you more than $ 500.00, something like $ 500.01 at least.

[Phobia]

Roy are you still mad that I called you on your "dumbest thread ever" thread from a few days back? I'm over that thread. I've blocked it from my memory. Hopefully everybody else has too.

[StcChief]

Interesting to see another Planeteer writing for real on Chiefs.
Well GoChiefs .... I guess some of his stuff is getting better.....

The BBQ tips, Home remodeling will be good for you.

Remodelling stuff may get you works as well......


Best of luck in this hopefully it will work out better than WarPaint

[bogie]

Just make sure GoChiefs edits your stuff and you'll be fine. I am impressed you're trying to get involved with your community. If more people would do that, our communities would be better places to live.

[Ceej]

You mentioned it was going to be an article for a smaller paper..any chance it'll be online to view and read also?

Very g00t.

I suppose I should have read through the whole thread instead of asking again. My bad.

Hardly, FTR, I wasn't mad. I don't let silly internet crap bother me like that, you of all people here should know this. Just slinging some shit around...... :p

Sorry for the long delay, been busy today here, bout time, I need the funds

[Phobia]

Sling away Roy. You owe me far more shit than I owe you. :D
