Is there really a Kalamazoo? 
YES and it has an amazing craft/beer scene. You should check it out sometime.

How did you become the Coaster King of Kalamazoo? 
Easily! I woke up one day and declared myself the greatest at making coasters is the general Kalamazoo, MI area, including Kalamazoo county and nearby surrounding areas. To date, no one has challenged my rule. 

How would you describe your governing style?
Fair and just with an occasional flair for totalitarianism.

What kinds of things will we see on this marvelous site? Here is a taste of the wondrous things to come:
