Picked up a few books at the first annual #JerseyArtBookFair yesterday, including Dense Magazine, "an unlikely design magazine about New Jersey," and New Jersey Fan Club from Jersey Collective, continuing my quest to fully embrace living in #NewJersey.

It was great seeing #zines are alive and well, too! Made me miss the old days before blogs and social media. 🥃

(A.T. Pratt had a great poster and book of illustrations for the 100 best horror movies, which we grabbed for our film snob son.)

Along with zines, I especially miss #FactsheetFive, the OG print Yahoo! of zines that was always a great read itself. I was over the moon when my dumb little zine got a lukewarm review in one of its last issues. Ironically, it wound up being my penultimate issue before I discovered Geocities and poetry slams... 🥃

I was enjoying this nascent attempt to explore the history of F5 last year, but it appears to be on an unannounced hiatus.

@glecharles I remember meeting Mike waaaaay after the F5 days at his house out in the Spokane area. I was on my way somewhere else.Slept in an RV in the yard. Such an important publication but at least at the time I remember MG was *so done* with it.

@jessamyn I can imagine publishing F5 had to be the epitome of a labor of love!
