"Journalsong will make you fall in love with its author. It will also make you romanticize Portland, all while trying to deal with the bad things and appreciate the good things in your own life. This issue is a meditation on the nature of zine writing, but it's also about wishing you could believe in Jesus, conversing with a glass of whiskey, beating up your friend's stupid boyfriend, contextualizing instant rice and beans, burning down Williamsburg, overtipping tiny bartenders, deciding to fall in love with someone right when they decide to fall out of love with you, and hanging out with Warren G. With beautiful drawings by Nicole Georges throughout. "

Steve Gevurtz has been publishing his very Portland-centric zine journalsong for a while now about trying to deal with the bad things and appreciate the good things in life. #6 is a meditation on the nature of zinewriting. Oh yeah, it's also about wishing you could believe in jesus, conversing with a glass of whiskey, beating up your friend's stupid boyfriend, contextualizing instant rice and beans, burning down Williamsburg, overtipping tiny bartenders, deciding to fall in love with someone right when they decide to fall out of love with you, and hanging out with Warren G. Steve's storytelling just keeps getting better and better. The zine is accompanied by beautiful and cute drawings by Nicole Georges of Invincible Summer fame. We've respected Steve's writing, aesthetics, and ethics for quite some time and felt that it was our time to work together.
