Ryan writes a personal style, well-known narrative zine about his life as an anarchist. This issue talks about his experiences seeing poverty on the street and having trouble reading the newspaper, reflections on news and current events, an interview with writer Bruce Holland Rogers, an article and interview about ManiFest, an annual event that commemorates the death of their son through music and community gathering, plus works of fiction, book and zine reviews, and notes on dealing with prisons and prisoners. The huge and exciting special feature this issue though is a big focus on discussion of DIY and independence with punk record labels. This topic prompted a special double issue of Maximum Rock and Roll about the same topics, but it started here folks! A great feature that sheds lights and makes you think about these very important issues of corporate commodification and the grey area of working in business in the punk realm. "Just a punk kid with a pen."
