People, we say this with the utmost, like, seri-osity: There is a war going on right now between those who would throw things like grammar, punctuation and spelling right out the window, and those of us who think it’s only proper to not make yourself look like a complete friggin’ retard every time you get on a computer. And while we’d always heard tall tales regarding A.D. Amorosi’s habit of turning in absolute chicken scratch to whosoever drew the short straw to edit Philly’s Most Famous Vampire, we thought he’d at least have the decorum and respect to not treat his subjects like fellow functional illiterates. Witness this questionnaire he’s been passing out lately for a piece on local booker/promoter types:

1) how long have you been booking and why did you start anyway
2) what spaces are you doing events in/at and which do you think make your shows shine brightest
3) what is it that you think is your booking forte
4) what is your total involvement
5) what are your biggest plans for summer shows you’re booking
6) what is your uniform du jour while working

That’s right, it’s a questionnaire without question marks. (Question marks, of course, have long been known to stop the undead in their tracks. No, wait, that’s the cross. Or free Nick Cave tickets. Never mind.) Are you fucking kidding me? Did a 14-year-old girlspirit take over your Vampire Internet Machine? C’mon, buddy: At least act like you care about the shit you’re submitting to City Paper. I mean, there has to be one of us.
