Friday, Sept. 17, 2004 - 7:18 p.m. a few weeks ago my friend korinna and i finished our split zine: Faking Distance/birthdays and christmas. we spent a week putting it together, editing the stories and doing the layouts late at night at the IPRC, so i could have it ready to sell at the SF zine fest. the idea that we originally had was to each make a zine including feminist anecdotes, and while there are many feminist anecdotes in our zines, we did stray from this topic a little. my half, birthdays and christmas, has stories about my personal hair dying history, my mothers attempt to connect with me in the diy world, an obsessive european waiter boy, drunken make outs and girl jealousy, and sexist bike jock boys. korinna's half, faking distance, has stories of crazy high school friends, riot grrrls, office temp work, kareoke adventures, a letter to her deceased cat, and a story about boys and privilege. i'd have to say that for the small amount of time korinna and i put this together, the quality of the writing and layout is really good. korinna says that some of the stories I wrote for this are some of her favorite pieces i've ever written! and i really like the stories korinna wrote, except they make me want to read more of her stuff! the zine quarter-legal, folded and bound in a weird cool way that is hard to explain, and all together it is 48 pages. it costs $2 postage paid.
