If so, this is the project for you.

))HEAR to HEAR((    the journal of STRANGE THINGKS
    HEAR to HEAR is, in a way, the print version of this site. It will have samples from our current, upcoming, and in progress projects; guidlines for what we're currently looking for; and a built in POST ALL card.
     Vol. 1 included Terrasa Ulm's
POST ALL card (the first POST ALL card ) as the cover, samples from Potty Mouth, Psycho Ex., Ballad of a have not, and a new piece from ((audio visual)) contributer Denea Bruce.
    Plans are already in the works for the October / Election release of Vol. 2.
                                                                                                                                                             
Technically this zine is autobiographical, but it's not a personal statement about myself... it's this very specific way of reflecting back on experiences...
With hindsight, detachment, and a
history of taking yourself to damn seriously, fucked up shit becomes
almost morbidly funny.
Psycho Ex. a zine from artist Jaime Raybin that gives both sides of the story from
broken relationships.The truth is in there, somewhere, and it's more complex and interesting than their either sides' story.

  When I reached the kitchen, I became instanly aware of  a toad standing at the enterance to the pantry, as though guarding it. I suddenly developed the passionate conviction that any chance of her staying over would be utterly ruined were she to discover my seemingly quaint basement apartment was, in fact, merely a dank hole, which attracted a strange transient toad population.
