Coffeeshop Crushes #1 32 pages, 1/2 legal, offset (3 oz) $3.00 $2.00

3rd Edition! This is Nicole Georges & Jon Van Oast's compilation zine all about....you guessed it, coffeeshop crushes! Submissions from Nicole (Invincible Summer), Shannon Wheeler (Too Much Coffee Man), Shawn Granton (10' Rule), James Squeaky (Sincere Brutality), Lizz Zitron, Greig (Clutch), Aaron Renier (Spiral Bound), "Rainman", Nate Beaty (Brainfag), Brad Adkins (Charm Bracelet), as well as MANY anonymous pieces (go figure!). About half of this zine is comics and the other half is short stories. The most entertaining parts to me were the articles on the sexual nature of a few coffeeshops' webpages and a comic about a boy who worked in a coffee shop and his story that suddenly jumps into graphic sexual drawings and depictions. You already know you want this. Do yourself the favor.

 
Here's to hoping this will restock in the near future? The description alone makes me smile, and I'd love to find a copy and read it myself. Roe
I totally flippin' relate to this zine. There's something about an individual serving me caffeine that makes them so much more appealing. Rawr. Sarah

A one-off zine from 2001 reprinted in April by Microcosm Publishing with a few new additions, cataloging the sometimes awkward, sometimes painful interaction between the java we love and the dreamboats who sell it. Edited by Nicole J. Georges and Jon Van Oast, the zine is split between amusing anecdotes about secret crushes and illustrated comics that chart jittery attempts to gain the attention of beloved baristas. While a good many of the crushes remain simply that, a few gain purchase as lusty encounters of promise that end with embarrassing failures or broken hearts. As one such account concludes: "After a week and a half of coffee themed hot sex, I decided to declare my love. I was more surprised than he. He said 'You know you're cute and all, but.... You're just too weird for me.'" Chris Gehrke, Utne Reader
Sweet & light, definately over a cup of coffee in a public restaurant. Someone must make sequels: elevator crushes, public bathroom crushes. D
