This issue is a series of oral interviews with Martha's grandfather, someone whose history was largely unknown to her. He talks mostly about the many jobs that he walked out on in his life but also talks about doing drugs, selling stolen televisions to stores, and generally just having strange ways of making money. He was propositioned as a boy to be a man's lover. He trades off telling the stories with his wife and they build off of each other, with each story being more fascinating than the last. Definitely an eye opening and fascinating read.

 
I can really relate to Martha's grandfather in that I have just walked away from so many jobs. This was a great read. Thank you so much for sharing your grandfathers story! Urban Scout
A work reminsiscent of Jack Black's 1920s cult classic--You Can't Win. You found a great interview subject in Frank. Thanks for putting his story out there. "Unkle" Kevin Mooneyham anonymous
Loved both issues. A really unique and honest voice. Having grown up in Portland, I really enjoyed hearing about what all of those places were like in the past. Sara Ellis
not some self-righteous crusty doin crazy things to put into a zine. frank was the real deal. part of a drifting existence that is at once both romantic and tragic. grover does a great job capturing it. bobby
