Proof of life
If anyone is out and about in NY, LA, Philly or Chicago (or one of the other cities fans covered in flyers) and you see one of our flyers, could you snap a pic, upload it to the net, and link us to it? I think it would be really fun to have pics of our flyers "in the field" on our site.

Perhaps you could help me with a little project...
When you log onto IMDB.com (the Internet Movie Database) and check out the dish on Veronica the user comments are fairly thoughtless and, in my mind, are more critical of Generation X than they are of the actual show (see below). I like to think I'm unbiased by my love for the show and that these viewers really haven't given it a real chance. The disturbing aspect is how discouraging these reviews can be given the popularity of IMDB. At this time, 177 of 203 individuals who checked out the site found the review to be useful. Perhaps we could turn these numbers around and compensate for the user's poor judgement? I'd hate this to be someone's 1st impression of the show! All you have to do is register on the site by providing an E-mail address and then log on to the Veronica Mars page and let them know the comment wasn't useful to you. Or-you can just follow this link: http://imdb.com/title/tt0412253/. Maybe you could even post a positive review of your own?

Clashing of tones Make VM Trite and Underwhelming, 10 May 2006
What a bore! Veronica Mars is a mishmash of concepts that may be compelling in a different setting, but completely fail to gel into anything remotely coherent.
Like Buffy, the Awful Show, Veronica Mars tries real hard to be the "voice of young people" in an attempt to placate brain-dead TV executives obsessed with the "all-important demos." It would be fine if it succeeded, but it also wants to be an over-the-top comedy and the clash of the two tones make for a less than entertaining show.
At once pretentious and over-the-top, Veronica Mars will hopefully not make it to the new CW and make space for a more deserving show by better writers and directors.

Unsubtle and Over The Top, 12 April 2006
I'm amazed how many comments on this show are about how "real" it is. Maybe I'm not part of the same universe because if Veronica Mars is anything, it's over the top in a big way.
The acting is chewing the scenery with enthusiasm and the plots have holes you could drive a truck through. That's not what I call real.
It is so earnest in its desire to be "relevant" that it only shows how cut-off from reality Rob Thomas and his staff are.
Overall, I found it to be at best a snooze-fest and at worst more than a little annoying. Kristen Bell looks like she could be a good actress, but it's hard to tell with the over-the-top style of the whole show.
