We're an interesting bunch for sure. A motley crew if you will? Crap, we all look so serious (except Amy of course). I mean, we're trying to be professional here. Bear in mind that the opinions of one of our writers does not necessarily reflect the opinions of CordMag as a whole, so think for a second before you start yelling at us all. Please direct your gripes or love accordingly.

	Rob Anand Co-Editor/Business Relations/Writer/Photographer/Sanity (Vancouver/Calgary) Rob brings 6 years experience as a web and print writer. He has a collection of CD's, records and tapes that is both impressive and embarrassing... this is in large part due to his time as a hip hop turntable DJ, and later as an accomplished guitarist. To compliment his creative side, Rob has 5 years experience working various commercial business development roles. His current hobbies include going out to countless shows, slowly depleting his hearing, and then gushing / bitching about it on this website. He gives until it hurts. Email Rob
	Andy Scheffler Co-Editor/Art Director/Photographer/Web Development/Writer (Vancouver) What does a girl do when she is in love with music but can't play a lick to save her life? Why, she goes out, buys a camera, and starts a magazine. Andy has done art-related things for most of her life, and graduated from a three-year graphic design program in 2001. Now, it's all about moving forward in this topsy-turvy creative world, as she commandeers the Vancouver contingent of Cord. She also likes red wine, red clothes, wine-red hair, large birds, dugongs, and moose. So basically, anything that's red or an animal. Red animals are particularly coveted. If you want to know more about Andy and her work, visit her website at masterandy.com or email her .
	Amy Hanson Music Writer(London) Amy is a mystery. She neither shows her face, nor speaks of her life... She's back in the Vancouver after stints in London and Victoria, and she will continue to offer perspectives now and again. Amy [at] cordmag.com
	Kevin Halpin Music Writer/see below (Calgary) In lieu of the standard bio, Kevin has opted to go with a supermega challenge for the kids. If you can name the location of this urinal (somewhere in Canada), you will be rewarded with either a hearty pat on the back or a firm look in the eye from Uncle Kevin. It's up to you. Respond by electronically mailing Kevin [at] cordmag.com
	Ryan Ince Music Writer(Vancouver) On a quest to prove that nice guys can indeed finish first, Ryan pauses at Cordmag to take in some tunes, while studying Communications at SFU.  Until he conquers the world with a band of his own, Ryan will settle for spinning it as a DJ at CJSF radio at SFU, and criticising it at Cord.  Talk to him at Ryan [at] cordmag.com
Give it a rest, it was Halloween. And until he supplies us with a different photo of himself, this is the Nick-shot that's going to stay!	Nick Chernoff Music Writer(Vancouver) Nick was born and raised up North in the Cariboo, although the exact date, time, and location can not be determined. As a very young child, he was found in the middle of a forest all alone by a family of wild huskies who took pity on him and raised him as thier own. In his teenage years, he was found wandering the forest by a kind couple who were out hunting for firewood. The couple always longed for a child, and adopted him. Although it took quite alot of training, love, and determination, they were able to prepare Nick for the outside world.for the outside world. Test and studfies have determined him to be approximatley 21 years of age, allthough there is no way to be positve. He has adapted quite well to modern living and is currently studying Mental Health and Journalism. Although the transition from his past life to now has been quite smooth and sucessful, people aren't qutie sure what to make of him when he starts to randomly bark in public. Nick [at] cordmag.com
	Jack Libby Writer/Shit-Disturber/King of the Interview (Vancouver) **Jack has left us to persue radio station endeavours in the wilderness of BC. Oh yes, we all miss him - we've left his bio and his work online as his CordLegacy.** Jack came to us with lofty expectations. While we haven't yet propelled him to journalistic stardom, he seems to be doing pretty okay on his own. He's our resident cynical bastard when he's not educating himself in media at BCIT, and has the unique ability to talk people into accommodating him. Talk about your invaluable resources. You can talk to Jack too and see if he likes you.
	Richard Murray Music Writer(Vancouver) I'm over thirty and thankfully emo doesn't work for me. If you're over 25 and still crying over girls, it's time to look into prescription medication. Besides, I don't look good in the glasses, and hipster clothes just don't fit me. However, I am basically a musical whore. I'll go to anything and see anything, and if I have to write about it and take photos to attend a show, I'll go. I'm most happy at a good punk show at The Cobalt (well, WAS most happy...) with a bunch of rowdy, dirty punks. That said, I can attend nearly anything and be objective about it from Christian Metal to Weepy Gothic and from Street Punk to Jazz. Music is music, and if it sucks, it sucks. Richard [at] cordmag.com
