Guess what folks? Susan and Jennifer have been collaborating on Geek Weekly Fanzine for five big years now. The history is a lot more convoluted than that, but we wanted props, so we solicited praise from some of the friends Geek Weekly has made over the years. They were nice to us.

Susan's fanzine before GW [ed: Hope] had prints of photographs taped in it each one different. That's where we got the idea to do the Nipple 5 singles that way. And I think Would you like some black beans on that Stevie Ray Vaughan record? was brilliant.
--Nate Wilcox, PR flack

There's nothing I like better after a hard night out on the town than curling up in bed with a good Geek Weekly. One minute I'm totally wired and wondering howI'll ever get to sleep and the next thing I know it's morning and I'm feeling like a new man. Congratuations on your upcoming anniversary and may you have many more. Love and geekdom.
--Jeff Tartakov, Stress Management

Geek Weekly will always be special for me. Susan Shepard wrote the first intelligent press the Hormones ever recieved. After seeing a number of local 'zines write things like "they rock," it was incredible to see someone take note of the quality of the songwriting. I ended up granting the first-ever Hormones interview to Geek Weekly, and Susan also conducted the final one for another publication. I'm glad I was in Susan and/or Jennifer's hands each time: Their questions were intelligent, provocative, and free of cliche. On top of all that, both ladies were always fun to be around, and that spirit very much infuses every issue of their mag. Geek Weekly is definitely one of the things I miss about Austin. It's hard to believe it's n ow five years old! Congratuations, guys! Here's hoping you guys do it for another fifty years, at least.
I used To Be A Hormone, And Now I'm A Napalm Star.
--Tim Stegall, punk rock action figure

I love fanzines, particularly Geek Weekly: in this mass marketed, focus group world I love the idea of a the lone voice crying out about the music and culture that inspires them. It is a tonic for my soul and even if I don't agree with the opinions, I love reading it. "Jennifer Love Hooters," our culture needs to be mocked and Geek Weekly is a great vehicle for this.
--Walter Daniels, Big Foot Chester
