Why I am a Massive Tool (part seven in an ongoing series)

So I was at Big Brain Comics last week when I found this xeroxed sheet of paper:

ZINE FEST '06
july 14-16, 2006
Minneapolis

I went to their website and it's going to be this big fair of zinesters, all selling their wares. I really thought this was cool- I mean, whatever happened to zines? Weren't they replaced by blogs? Very September 10th. But zines are so cool. I imagine Ira Glass reads a lot of them. Now if only I had a zine ...

And so I'm going to make the Brog into a zine. I don't know what else I'm going to put in it, but I'm going to use my mom's copy machine during the time I should be working.

So I'm finally cashing in on a cult phenomenon that's been in decline since the rise of the internet. If it doesn't make me a massive tool, it at least makes me hopelessly out of date.

Post Script- German's pretty damn intense and we're in the middle of a trial at work, so that's going to be it for this week. I've got a lot to talk about however- I did a 10k (first in my age group! but there was only one other guy in my bracket, and he was 14) , made a chicken and vegetable pie, and went to the Soren Kierkegaard library at St. Olaf. And once I saw a blimp! So be patient gentle readers, if you want to know about this stuff immediately you can email me.

hey hey brendan. yes, i'm going to be a columnist next year. are you? do you know what beat you want to try out for?

I don't think going into the zine world doesn't make you a tool. Just a bit of an outdated, angry girrrrl.
