WE ADVOCATE CHANGE – THOUGH DOLLARS ARE NICE, TOO My friends, MiX is here. We know what the problem is with your weekend, and we know how to fix it. MiX, and MiX alone, can fix this problem. Don’t go looking for those other weekend pull-out sections – they don’t love you like we do. We agree with them that you should be out having fun, but we’re not in cahoots with the Man like those other guys. If you try to have too much fun on the weekends, the police will fine you. Will fine you. We’re somber and responsible, but we know how to have fun, too.
