    Zine Reviews Part 1

    So far things have been massively busy. And I have not done as many reviews as I would have liked. So here’s the first installment (of a few) of my zine reviews. Burger Force #1 – 4 – Jackie Ryan, et al – burgerforce.com The Skinny – Nervous and paranoid university student, Mercury, is selected…

  • Zine Fair

    My head is in a strange place. Friday night. Last time I paid any attention to anything it was day. The sun was high in the air. But now every football (read: AFL or NRL) geezer is out, the game is over and they are looking for a piss up and maybe a fight. Meanwhile,…

  • Papercuts Collective Exhibition

    It’s late right now. Witching hours. The Papercuts Collective Exhibition and Zine Launch went off with a smash drawing a significant crowd. I helped out sticking things on walls and minding a merch table of zines on the opening night. Music by the Hobo DJs was okay. The opening speech made by Steve Townsen congratulating…

  • Flight

    So by the time I’m in the taxi, I realise I have forgotten my phone. I am less than a block away from my house, but I think, fuck it, I’m not going to ask this guy to turn around. I am horrendously late for my flight. I should have left half an hour ago.…

  • From the Inbox

    Today I get told that I should be checking up post box. This is what I find: It’s my advance copy of Staples Whenever I See A Bearded Hobo On The Street, I’ll Think Of You And Smile. The other copy is for Ve who regularly attends my knife fighting circle. I am really looking…

  • Today

    I am awake now. Last night I went to a dance music festival and spent a great deal of time losing my hearing to breaks and beats. Breaking ground on some writing. Comic is slowly going ahead. Also, a shameless plug. Staples is releasing his travel zine, hopefully sooner than later. You can see and…

  • Postcard Photo

    This is me. Sort of. This is all in aid of contributing to Dr Jerm’s zine. It’s two-thirty a.m. I got things done tonight. Now it’s time to dream. And plot. Good Night.
