"Smoking Typewriters" -- how underground media was key to 60's revolutions
Speaking of OWS, has anyone read John McMillian's "Smoking Typewriters"? An inspiring book showing how underground media was key to the success of the many revolutions of the 1960's. It also has…Continue

Anyone want to see the ULA website revived?
1 Reply
The ULA website has been down for the past year or two. Our members have been hit harder by the Depression than most people, probably, and so we couldn't afford the monthly Yahoo fee (yet our files…Continue

Zinester response to Occupy Writers petition?
I'd expect a shout of protest to go up among zinesters at the grab for the cultural reins of OWS by the literary elite as per the Occupy Writers petition. Alternative writers created online petitions…Continue

- I've published "Out Your Back Door," a zine of indie outdoor culture, since 1991, but mostly online since 2004 or so. I still do a print zine that I include with customer order boxes for folks who buy stuff from my website at http://OutYourBackDoor.com. I also sell em for $1 ea at show booths.
I'm interested in trying to find effective ways of getting the indie word out, especially to folks who presently don't get much indie word.
This Ning zine page/scene looks like it might be a good one!
[This is mostly the text I supplied for my Profile Info, but the Admin info showing there now says that only Admin can see it, that is, my Profile. I'm confused...]
