To Quote or Write<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sometimes I get asked why we always do the interview style articles here. Well, part of it just has to do with time \u2013 this is all volunteer work and we have full time jobs and families.\u00a0 But it also comes down to another simple reason: the people we interview make great quotes and we just don\u2019t want to mess those up with our commentary.<\/p>\n

Also, let’s face it \u2013 some articles in other magazines get a little too bogged down in writer commentary.\u00a0 Sometimes you have to wonder what on earth the writer was thinking, because the funny they make in their head doesn\u2019t always boil down to funny in print.\u00a0 Something we are also guilty of too often.\u00a0 But we usually just like to let the artist\u2019s words speak for them.<\/p>\n

Do you know how much good a little bit of extra money can do? Mocha Club\u2019s vision is to \u201cprovide a way for people who don’t have hundreds or thousands of dollars to make a difference in Africa. We do this through a community-based website where members can start a team and invite friends to join them in giving $7 a month \u2013 the cost of 2 mochas \u2013 to support a project in Africa.\u201d MochaClub.org<\/a> (Mocha Club <\/em>did not buy this ad nor do they endorse this magazine \u2013 just givin\u2019 ya food for thought)<\/em><\/p>\n
