Party Time - Sellout - Employed!

As mentioned before, this past Sunday (February 14th) a show was held at 99 6th Street in Santa Rosa, CA. With a good number of bands and some sunny weather during the day it was sure to be a good time.


(Comadre)

My day started off nice and mellow. First it was short jaunt on the road bike. With my back giving me troubles lately (anyone see the back check, here? Ooo... Eww...), I've been trying to find some new ways to exercise. For those that haven't tried other forms of cycling, I highly recommend and encourage you give it a try. After the ride was finished, and one free-lunch care of my pops - thanks pa, it was back to SR to prepare for the show.


(The table...)

While at the show, I had my small table set-up. Maybe how Jason addressed 'New frame companies' with "They should've done some market research before...", I should've addressed 'New zines', ha-ha! Did you know Van Gogh only sold paintings to his brother while alive? I recently learned this fun little fact while browsing the world wide web. In any event it was great to distribute zines amongst the great crowd that came out to the show!

(All Teeth)

What an awesome night. Big thanks to: Mike B. & All Teeth, Sabertooth Zombie, Comadre, Litany for the Whale, Defeater, Celeste, Odyssey, Mutiny, PicDit, and everyone that came out. I'll leave you on a positive note... I have a job(this zine is not a job...) again!

Running a zine you don't see a lot of cash...

But you sure do see smiling faces. Thanks to everyone that took a copy of Ice Cold #5 (Big thanks to Jack & others that paid... $4 towards #6!) tonight while at the show. Look for some blurry photos to appear within the next week or days.

In the mean time, enjoy the following from Mutiny.

Analog Remix



Recently Harrison posted an awesome video over on Defgrip regarding Mixtapes. He had mentioned maybe having a few lying around his parents house, which got me thinking. Awhile ago I had posted pictures of some mixtapes an old friend had made. I had phrased a question:

How can I find a girl like this again?

Two responses:
Good Grades: this is insane. contact this wonderful woman again?

Travis Jutson: Facebook, can't go wrong. Unless she's fat, ugly and married now.

I guess a little more clarity on the matter was necessary. She dumped me later on... ouch! Ha-ha, no no it's all good. What was awesome was the time taken. A CD could have been bought, maybe some shirt, or even a little something something on the side. Instead the time was taken to compose a simple - yet at the same time complex - mixtape. To the girl, thank you.

With Valentines day approaching this seemed appropriate. And if your like me, hand-made gifts fit into the budge. So instead of pulling out the pocket-book pull out a pair of scissors... or maybe that old boom box.

And once again: February 14th, 99 6th Street Santa Rosa, CA; ICE COLD RELEASE PARTY - with music by: Sabertooth Zombie, All Teeth, Defeater, and Many More!
