- Nope, but it doesn't look good. There was a reference to the fact that
- they needed $300K in a hurry in the _Village Voice_ "Press Clips" column
- at least two weeks ago.

- I haven't seen an issue since. It does seem strange that they would mention
- that with Bill Chafin dying they wouldn't have any problems. Maybe they just
- didn't have an accurate record of their financial reserves.

- Oh, also the NY NATIVE has started using Ads in the paper with a picture of
- OUTWEEK, a picture of QW and then a picture of the Native with the caption
- "Still Here After These Years" or some other obnoxious phrase expressing
- schadenfreude.
