Seriously, though. I need comforting.

It's all pretty overwhelming, all the work that needs to happen before this May issue gets out.

But then, I remember something that's fairly vital: I absolutely love doing what I'm doing. Like, if I could hop in a pool of writing, I would. I'm sure it'd be diluted with a lot of Times New Roman.

That being said, I'm quitting my office job at the end of May so I can just do this completely. I am so excited to finally devote myself to it. Also, having no constant money source is going to be peachy keen. Up tha zineXpunx.

There's going to be a lot of things in this issue! A LOT OF THEM! Hot Air Press, Sidewalk Dave, Fire First, D.I.Y. Bandit stuff, other stuff. May 23rd TFT Benefit for Mitch's pops. I really like Mitch Dubey.

Oh, another thing in the works: mixtape compilations. They'll feature everything that's been written about in the zine. I'm toying with the idea of having each one have a unique track organization, but then there isn't any actual effort in the whole compilation process. We'll see.

But yeah, hopefully May will be out this Sunday, but I'm not counting on it because life is kicking my ass.


Everyone keep in touch! And don't forget to eat breakfast.
