A Little More Info on Our Up & Coming Zine!

This is our last information on the progress and information about our zine. First of all, what is a zine? Wikipedia states "A zine is most commonly a small circulation publication of original or appropriated texts and images. More broadly, the term encompasses any self-published work of minority interest usually reproduced via photocopier." As to what will be on our zine, you can expect some anti-authoritarian articles or pictures, skate photos, artwork from some good folks, skateboarding photos, an interview with DIY ska-punk band "NO COPS FOR MILES", an interview with up coming skater Tislam Smith, and other random stuff. The Zine is dedicated to our good friend Talina Mary Saegh who unfortunately took her life not too long ago. The primary intention of this publication is not profit. So, yes it will be 100% FREE. If you want to help out, here is how you can. You can donate money that will help pay for ink cartridges & paper or even if you have your own photocopier/printer, you can help us out with the printing. The print will be in Black & white only. If you have no money, you can donate artwork, your writings and advertisements. You can also help by spreading the word to your friends on facebook and what not. So if you want to help us out in anyway you can, even as a distributer, you can email us at heavyindastreets@gmail.com Anybody who helps out will of course be credited on the zine itself. As far as the release date expect it to be done by late July or early August.
