  • Printed and Assembled

    Issue 4 is ready to go. Next, I have print mailing labels, write some notes, and stuff envelopes. I’m aiming to get these in the mail by Monday at the latest. I’ll also have a few copies with me at Zine Camp on the 21st.

  • Playlist for Issue 4

    I’m working on finishing up issue 4 of and, of course, I’m listening to the playlist I created while I’ve been working on it. The thing is though — I’ve been working on it for months so I wanted to post this before I started listening new things. I’ve written about a bunch these songs…

  • Waking up with an idea

  • Feeling better

    I got some sleep, completed some long overdue things, and cleaned up. It’s amazing how much better that makes me feel.
