Stories Include: Quite a depressing issue. Another friend dies, the asshole like behavior of employers, living in Florida, missing people you love, all that zinestuff we all love, but this time - written by me.
Sebrakakku #3 - 50 cents/trade 1/4 size
Stories Include: This is the "big" issue. And by big I mean 80 pages. This is a huge amazing zine if I don't say so myself. There are three huge zine tour stories, where I travel the country, read zines, make out with other idiots who do zines, talk about the cities and how hot everyone was, Allied Media, Denver Zine Library, Portland Zine Symposium! I also talk again about highschool and how weird it is and how I'm some kind of jerk who can't remember some guy from 10th grade chemistry. The only way this could get any zinier, would be if I was from Portland, and I'm most certianly not.
Black Carrot #1 - 50 cents/trade 1/4 size
Stories Include: I have this problem with getting sick of my zine names too quickly. Everyone makes fun of me for it. Anyways, I wrote this while I was living in Muhos, Finland. It's mostly about school mmeories - going from 2nd grade all the way up to 9th grade or so. I read these stories to my parents en route to Sterling, Illinois one day and they really liked it. I talk about getting bullied, and how it leads to me shoplifting, and how I was akward at school dances, and how a girl danced with me and how I got dissed a whole bunch, and how I used to bring books to the bathroom in second grade when I had to take a shit, and how I freaked out at a teacher who tried to make corrections on a creative writing story I did about Pac Man. If you only get one zine from me, get this one.
Willow Run 50 cents/trade 1/4 size:
I made a zine about my best friend in the whole world, Jon Pixie. A photocopied tribute to over a decade of uninterrupted friendship. I also write about how we became friends, and how it sucks that we don't live in the same state anymore. Jon Pixie is a great guy, and I want everyone to know that.
How I Learned to Love Myself and Occasionally Other Men #1 - 50cents/trade 1/4 size:
This is a great zine. All the distros that carry it, sell out of it. It might be due to the punk rock dick sucking on the cover. Anyways, this is a zine about how I like to do it with dudes, and how that is sometimes easier in theory than in practice. I go from having sex with girls, just because I thought I had to - to having sex with men because I want to, and then sometimes having sex with girls because I feel like it - and how nobody tells me how to be gay. It also talks about how I dabbled in some porn and how gender binary is dumb. Everyone loves this zine, so you should too.
