Education Issue?
I'm interested in doing an education issue. Our 2 oldest kids attend public school while the youngest goes to a private day care sort of thing. I am a fan of home and alternative schooling but really only know what I've read about them.
What I would like is to have some people on both sides of the issue provide some opinions as well (especially so) I would like to get some stories, essays or what have you providing individual experiences as to how people liked or disliked the type of schooling they received and how it has or has not helped shape who they may be today. Additionally, experiences from parents about how their own children were educated would be good too. All ages, opinions and experiences are more than welcome. Please spread the word.

D.R.'s Volvo
Good ole D.R. Brooks took a break from vans, screen printing and cd duplicating by stopping in and helping me get the doors on the new kid taxi workin in proper order this afternoon. Tomorrow we're off to the junk yard to see what we can come up with for additional fixer ups.
Be sure to check out his vanning how-to in issue 9 - available later this week.
badrh0 tHe aLgErIaN hAcKeR
If you've been to the site recently you may have noticed a nice little greeting from badrh0. Apparently he's the algerian hacker and likes the zine so much he hacked us.
Anyway, we're trying to get issue 9 finished up for the printers and I grew a mustache...
No Way! For Serious?
Like totally. Yep that's right. You read that correctly. In an attempt to get issue 9 finished we're looking for some additional content. Words, pictures or sketches on bar napkins - just send that crap in. Fo rizzle.
Additionally check the Fuck Gas blog for bicycle shenanigans.
BMX Art Jam
Derek over at City BMX/On Your Left Cycles is hosting an Art Show/BMX Jam/Cookout at the Louisville skatepark Friday, August 1st at 9pm. If you're intersted in displaying some art, photos or what have you, contact him at the shop - 502-589-9676.
Fuck Gas is a new bike related movement we're taking on alongside Shitluck Clothing. Check out the blog for up to date outlaw bicyclist info in Louisville and elsewhere.
Upcoming Events
We've got 2 upcoming events for you to attend in the Louisville area:
The first is a Bike Night at Derby City Espresso, Monday, July 28. The fun starts at 8pm, but there will be a ride right before taking off from Waterfront Park @ Witherspoon and Floyd Streets at 7pm. This will likely head up to Main, over the Second Street Bridge, down to the Falls and back to DCE.
Second we're helping get the inaugural "40oz Fun Run" going. This will begin at the lookout point at the top of Iroquois Park and head down Southern Parkway and Second Street to the falls and then who knows where. Should be a wild one and the more people the better as this one is on Friday, August 22 at midnight. Spread the word and we hope to see you there. We'll post more info on the 40oz Fun Run as it becomes available.
The Court of Public Relations
Great new documentary from Sam at the Obscure Truth Network - give it a watch...
In a system where all power is supposedly based on the consent of the governed, where all men are created equally, what happens when one questions the legitimacy and the very nature of government? Watch this video and find out how government solves market needs in a very different way than private companies seeking a profit.
Holla atcha #8!
Issue 8 is now available for download so get some! The reader version even has clickable links! Yeah, exclamation marks!!!
We're Late!
And I don't mean preggo. My non-zine related work load is completely out of hand at the moment and I just haven't had the chance to finish #8. It will be available soon, hang in there little buddy.
Bike Night
Just a heads up that we're working on hosting a bike night up at Derby City Espresso in a couple weeks. Basically anyone riding a bike is invited, regardless of wheel size or gear count. Just a simple gathering celebrating simple machines. There may be a ride to follow of maybe just a party at the coffee shop - who knows. More info to come.
Go Dutch!
The 2008 European Cup is in full swing and there's been some amazing soccer. Today (6/21), Netherlands vs. Russia in a quarter final round. Should be a great fast paced game. Check it out on ABC at 2:30 EST. Good times!
Awareness Test:
We've had this up on our myspace page for a bit, but thought it was appropriate considering the bike issue that's out.
No ProcFest for us...
Damn it! We had to back out of the Free State Project's Porcupine Freedom Festival at the last minute and here we sit, in the rain - sucks!
Could be worse, but disappointing none the less. Maybe we'll be able to make it up for Burning Porcupine?

Issue #7 Finally Available! While we're open to any shop that wants to distribute the zine, there were a handful of shops that we received zero feedback from. You can still find each issue at most of the same spots, plus a couple new ones. As always, thanks for everyones support and thank you for reading. |
'bout damned time!
number 7 is done and out the door - apologies for the delay, you should see it by the end of the week.
Unforeseen Circumstances...
Due to unforeseen circumstances number 7 will be about a week late so keep a look out for it around the end of next week.
More Scribd
