what does "copacetic" mean?
co·pa·cet·ic: adj [old slang] good, excellent, fine, etc. --- Webster's New World College Dictionary
I chose the name because a) it's a positive word, b) I'm obviously inspired by retro stuff, and even this word is archaic, and of course, c) 'cause it's the name of Velocity Girl's first album!

where did you get the hypercolor paper you used in copacetic issue one?
I bought that paper at an Office Depot in Texas back in 1996, and I haven't seen it since. Sorry.

can i submit a cd for review?
