Review Apr. 28, 2007

Stu is stuck in limbo and bored out of his skull with no one to talk to, no TV, radio or any other type of entertainment. Out the blue apcalled Old Tom. With out question Stu puts all of his trust in Old Tom and allows him to lead him down an unknown path. A path that e

Stu finding his way to heaven been a mistake? Im not going to let you know, you have to pick up a copy of The Distance Travelled. Afind out.

Cleverly written by co-authors Brett Alexander Savory and Gord Zajac, this is a chap book everyone should read. I am a personal fan oview of what they think, heaven, hell and limbo is and this one is exceptional. Written with the same biting humour as Lamb, The Dist

down a road to a very different type of adventure, though I wish someone would explain why there are so many rabbits in heaven.

If this is any indication of the quality of chap books, we will be seeing in the future from Burning Effigy Press, then Im making sure Im

Toronto Special Zine

Upon first glance I thought I was about to read a weekly rag. I was easily fooled as Toronto Special is designed to look like the Enquirer. Once I got past the factthat a Canadian designer has brought back headbands into fashion, say it isnt so, I was able to read, laugh and thoroughly enjoy my latest new addiction.

Its refreshing to see that as Canadians we havent lost our zing when writing about politicians and celebrities. The NDPs should be looking over their shouldersafter the cleverly written Expose about the NDP members who got caught with their pants down. I also applaud Clammy J Byners for giving us celebrity news as itshould be written.

Into horoscopes? Then read the Specials Guide to the Stars, they are hilarious. I have to say their February predictions beat out the one I read atAstrologyzone.com. And the fact that I was called nerdo was much more accurate.

7 things you shouldnt write in an office greeting card alone is worth reading the zine. Its too bad I already used Your chair is broken because you gained too

much weight over the summer - fat ass Too bad I didnt get my hands on the Toronto Special sooner.

Its too bad this wasnt released weekly. In the meantime you can order back issues or subscribe to upcoming new issues at www.thespecial.ca. You can alsopick it up free at several location around Toronto (see below). See their website for more information.

Life So Far Zine

Cynthia Gould it seems, is a genius. Life So Far is proof of this. Issue three of her zine is filled with stunning photography and art, witty journal entries, poetry andrandom thoughts. Its a fun, quick read and a great way to keep your sanity during a subway ride to work in the morning.

I am madly in love with the poem buddha at the crosswalk and the photo that accompanies it. As with anything Ive read of Cynthias you need to expected theunexpected and that is exactly what I got with this poem.

you open up and start to flip through the pages, more fun ensues.

The premiere issue includes articles written by Andrew Payne, Kirsten Wiebe, Kait Kucy, Munkospeni, Ryan Sadler, and Sean Stewart. I have to say my favourites

are Boom Swagger Boom, I mean who doesnt love Burlesque, the well written A History of Tattoo, and the fun and quirky column Kitschionary.

I look forward to the next issue, I am hoping they delve even further into the subculture of Calgary and fill the zine with even more articles and photographs as. Ifound myself on the last page I yearning for more. But for a debut zine theyve done a fine job of helping us learn a little bit more about what really goes on in theCalgarys subculture.

If you are in Calgary you can find this zine at Plan B Kustom 1520 6th Street SW and Looks Could Kill Art Boutique #11 100 7th Ave Sw or you can order online [email protected]

Kitschykoo is looking for submissions for their SUMMER 2007 issue. The deadline is April 15, 2007!!! Please send all submissions to [email protected].

Review Feb. 18, 2007

Issue Zine is all about Toronto. Bad Toronto, Zanta Toronto, Weird off beat Toronto. The real Toronto, not the Toronto that people living in Rosedale wish it was.

You ever walk into a wall and promise yourself that the next time you will be more careful, but, you walk into that very same wall again. You have, well then youare going to love this zine. It is all about the Toronto where helmetless fallen cyclists are picked up by a stranger and then stranger than fiction the stranger triesto pick them up or how about the Toronto where you move to a safer neighbourhood only to get mugged.

Good or bad Issue zine shows us all sides of Toronto through writing and photography. Inside this zine you will find clever stories and realist photography that gets

to the nitty gritty of the side of this city that we need to get to know better.

James Lindsay runs this Toronto based, based on Toronto zine (soon to be renamed Exploding Face) and he has a talent for pulling together the right type ofwriters and photographers to make this zine fascinating, fun and filled with folly. Issue zine arts/culture/comedy zine who are always looking for bright ideas. If

you have one that fits the bill emailing them at [email protected].

Im looking forward to the next issue. Who knows, maybe I will submit one of my tales of woe, I am after all the girl who buys the bookshelf that is missing thescrew that holds it up.
