The new edition of This Zine Will Change Your Life is live, loaded with Grochalski and full of drink. Or something like that.

The new edition of This Zine Will Change Your Life is live and full of drink. Or something like that. We have a new poem known by John Grochalski, which we are way excited about, and, (almost) as always, photo action from Adam Lawrence, music curation from Jason Behrends and primary prose love from Pete Anderson. We hope you enjoy this edition and we appreciate all shout-outs and links. Finally, please note, we are hoping more of you will submit comix, and music, and combinations there of. And most finally, happy October 1st, you've earned it.[image error]

"(The essays) are an enjoyable read, humorous throughout, and as easy to keep pace with." 99 Problems gets bl pawelek'd. And likes it. A lot.

We want to thank the most stellar writer, illustrator and TBWCYL, Inc. favorite bl pawelek for his quite generous, and thoughtful, review of 99 Problems. Drinks on us for sure when the move is complete and you officially make it out to the mid west bro.

"To be honest, I hate running. I am pretty sure I always will. That being said, it is a good thing for my health, and I do genuinely feel good afterwards with that sweaty/pumped-up/accomplishment feel. A couple weeks ago, I vowed to take it back up (as well as a general fitness plan) as soon as I get to Madison. Ben Tanzer's book "99 Problems" was a good pat on the back to get me started. The essays are from a running man. They are an enjoyable read, humorous throughout, and as easy to keep pace with. Running is something that has been with him throughout his life, and it shows."

Largehearted Boy. Book Notes. 99 Problems. Sweetness.

Big thanks to David Gutowski and Largehearted Boy for not only their kind words about 99 Problems, but for inviting us to write a Book Notes essay for the collection as well. Quite sweet. Quite appreciated. And for your viewing pleasure, some excerpt.

Dear Lord - Joseph Arthur/ Don't Walk Alone - Tim Easton

I am not a very religious dude, despite my God-complex, nor have I had many experiences one might deem religious though I did once see the visage of Jesus in the window of a hotel...
