Golden Age.

Chicago, FYI, art, design

Dunno if any of the remaining Chicagoans who read this blog (close to 60 of you!) are still interested in buying books, zines and other shit for weirdos. But if you are, I would reccomend heading on down to Golden Age on the lower west side-ish area. I ain’t never been there, looks like they opened right when I left. But the place looks dope. If you go you should take some pictures and talk to the peeps who run the place and maintian an overall interest in the operation of brick-and-motar art/book/art book stores.

Mr. Meno.

Chicago, words

While scouring the webs yesterday I came across this video of recent contributor Joe Meno reading from his new book.

Joe has been kicking ass lately. Makes me feel like a proud poppa. Even though he’s seven or eight years my senior. And is my former teacher. And has published a bajillion more things than I ever have or will. And has met Salman Rushdie.

Proud poppa nonetheless.
