Zinester Picnic in Chicago

So I did, came up with Squid Pro Quo and finally printed it out. It's basically a punk rock zine with interviews, album reviews, cartoons and musicians' columns. At least that's what I've got thus far.

In issue #1, you'll find:

-Interview with Joe Queer and John P. Hayes (aka Wimpy Rutherford) of THE QUEERS!

-Interview with Tony… Continue
