When did you launch your zine? What inspired you to do so?

Buzz Moran and I published our first issue in November 1993 after an excellent Mexican buffet repast as a place called Casita Flameada. The establishment was always empty when we dined, and we figured our valiant journal would give them a much-needed shot in the arm. They have long since closed down. Why publish a zine?

Someone dared us to in a drinking game, and we couldn't get dates, so what the hell? What can you tell us about the selection you provided for " The Book of Zines " ?

God will punish those who abandon the Ten Commandments for our Ten Steps to a Bigger You, but you're probably into that sort of thing. Have you published any other zines?

No, but we have occasionally tossed out the idea of a fanzine about masturbation called "5 Fingers." Any general tips for aspiring zinesters?

Make friends with "revolutionary" workers who are in a position to "comp" your printing bills in the name of "art." What's your favorite part of doing a zine?
