Dangerous Contemplation

“Many of us crucify ourselves between two thieves - regret for the past and fear of the future."

-Fulton Oursler

My fear extends much farther than fear for my future, because everyone fears that which they don't know. Fear is ever-present. It falls heavily in the pit of my stomach on a daily basis, pulling my thoughts and self-esteem down with it. Fear that my daily choices, actions, thoughts and… Continue

The Mighty Paco in...

Haven't posted anything new in a long while, but I haven't really had anything going on worth posting. Well, I was interviewed a week or so ago by an arts publication out of Argentina. I was initially under the impression that it was an online magazine, but realized when they asked me for hi-resolution images from my portfolio that it is actually a… Continue

Monday.

29 November 2010 - 3:44AM - Denver, CO

Drum beats and artificial sounds pound into my ears at a constant rate, filling my mind with complex melodies and poetic lyrics. The juxtaposition of inorganic rhythm and organic lyricism strikes me as slightly odd; the words should match the sound, but most of the time they don't. I don't know what that says about my ability to chose good music - probably nothing at all. My so-called… Continue

"Go home & tell your parents what you saw tonight:" my evening with Foxy Shazam

Last Saturday night I was sitting at home, watching Beavis and Butthead make fun of Rob Halford's shoulders, when I got the urge to see what bands were playing that night. I got really excited and rushed out to the TLA in Filthydelphia (city of bother and loathe.) If you've never heard of Foxy Shazam, you need to Google them. They are three parts obnoxious and two parts pomposity and one part street performance.

I know it's really girly and… Continue

Call for submissions! Bitch theme #4: the girl hate/ girl love edition

This is because I have been thinking a lot recently about girl hate/love and the way both affect my life, and the lives of other girls I know. I have written about it in previous issues of my zine, and I have talked about it in letters with…

Holiday Sale!...(?)

Wow, we're snowed in here in Olympia, Wa, so I guess that means the time has come again. Though we tend not to care much about most holidays, we thought we would have a sale anyway! Maybe think of it as an end-of-the-year sale, instead. You have two options of how to go about it:

1. Every 5 zines you buy, you get one free.

2. Spend $50 and get $10 of credit to use how you see fit.

Pick one or the other. In both cases, just email us after… Continue
