DEC
14--FAZE met Canadian Band I.D.
at a special event in Toronto hosted by GrooveMusicCanada. Does
Canada really need a N'Sync clone band? It was at a cool club
though. DEC 9--FAZE has a massive 2001 ahead: big contests, 150,000
copies with each issue, a huge 500,000 copy Back-To-School issue,
double the pages, more stories, more pictures, more sections,
an expanded website...FAZE is taking the new millenium by storm.
DEC 1--HUGE NEWS FOR ALL MOFFATTS FANS!!! We are happy to
announce a new "MEET THE MOFFATTS" contest. We will
transport you and a friend to the Moffatts this summer and you'll
get to hang out with the Canadian superstars. Hotel, limos, dinners...it's
huge. Other prizes up for grabs as well!! Check

NOV
30--FAZE was at the Canadian Pro Squash Tournament, as

and is the best on the planet! Yep, an article on Jonathon is
coming.
NOV 27--Chretien and friends power to a big and

for an upcoming story. We met the man behind the sock (to all
of you who didn't realize there was a man behind the sock, sorry

piece of clothing and look for him in the Summer issue of FAZE.
