Somewhere around ten years ago Damien (of Shutdown/End of a Perfect Day zines) worked at a carwash in Portland. He put together this zine about his time there and it covers all the essentials - asshole customers, stealing change and trinkets out of people's cars, character profiles of management, how to scam a car wash, and, of course, the racist carwash of Seaside, OR. Damien maintains a good sense of humor, distaste for management, and brains to create beneficial schemes throughout this teenage zine.

The latest issue of the End of a Perfect Day finds Damian biking and hopping trains around Los Angeles and the Southern California area. In his typical literary style, he describes exploring a land of wild peacocks, crisscrossing freeways and asphalt, and the inevitable frustration of biking in a sprawling metropolitan area. Damian's search for community in Los Angeles eventually proves fruitful, and we are introduced to another layer of Southern California culture as seen by our transient narrator.

It went from practical information (how to fix your bike) to stories (where he went on his bike) relate practical information in the process.
