EDITORIAL DIRECTOR

CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Faye was a former production artist for the Boston Phoenix. Currently, she splits her time between working nights at the Middle East, pedi-cabbing Boston tourists to Fenway park, and calling her mom crying.

He does write sometimes, and used to be writer/editor/designer for the BAAM Newsletter, The Boston Underground, and Boston Indymedia, and wrote for some more legitimate publications he'd rather not mention. He's often found trying to avoid paying rent living in a broken down van, or on some sort of cushion at a friends house.

Her wallet holds no fewer than nine distinct library cards. With her MA in history and certificate in archives, Naylor ranks among our city's overeducated and underemployed. Please hire her to do something that is not retail, food service, or canvassing.
