The Weekly Planet Network would have had a few short circuits if it weren't for the valuable help of the following: Laura Tierney and the crew over at the Education Channel for studio use; models Dom Cassano, Julie Garisto, Melissa Hashem, David Jasper, Eric Snider, Leigh Ann Schumacher and the WP sales staff; interns Dustin Dwyer, Lea Iadarola, Sandra Jones, Adam Reeder and Michelle Rieg; graphic artists Anna Markell, Kim Rhodes and Jack Spatafora; freelance writer and nightlife high priestess RhondaK; office maven Jennifer Wilson; mirth monkey Patrick Graney; and a big 22-gun salute to faux arsenal supplier Noeland Collins.
The graphics, products and information herein would not have been possible without copious amounts of blood, sweat and tears from the Weekly Planet design staff and art director Todd Bates (an epic monument in your image is already in the works) and production manager Chrissy Stevens (how on Earth do you put up with us?).
