Who needs elves when you’ve got mailroom boys?

This year’s holiday gift subscription notification is the best yet. Stuff their stockings with the gift that keeps on giving…a 4 issue subscription to The East Village Inky...

All holiday gift subscriptions will include an extra-heavily rubber stamped envelope and a jolly black and white notification featuring our 4 month old Mailroom Boys, hastily but lovingly customized with marker as to your specifications. They are also happy to practice their penmanship by scrawling whatever personal message you dictate.

Welcome, babies!

Ex-Circulation Manager Jambo and Former Intern Mungo are “pleased” to announce (from beyond the grave) that two 3 month-old brothers have joined the staff of the East Village Inky mailroom.

Names TBD. They are endeavoring to prove themselves worthy of their inclusion in the pantheon of zinecats.

A peek at Greg Kotis’ new post-apocalyptic banjo musical

Gitcher heiner to New Hampshire this weekend for 3 concert readings of Greg Kotis‘ new post-apocalyptic banjo musical at the Player’s Ring in Portsmouth.

It’s a patriarchy smashing, environmentally sobering, hootin’ and hollerin’ good time!

If you’re curious to hear what it sounds like when you overcome some long held (decades!) educational trauma to reclaim your singing voice, I will be MORE than happy to bawl it out for you live onstage. You don’t even have to buy me a beer.
