  • Cool! I look forward to reading this - I love independent 'zines. >^_^<
    • Sweet! Any chance you'll be bringing print copies up to Seattle anytime soon?
      • well, we *should* distribute it in Seattle, but it's difficult. 2GQ is hand-bound with letterpressed covers (this time there are even 3-D elements involved), so we make extremely limited editions of each issue. we simply don't make enough of them to bother with traditional distributors, half of whom are fairly evil and steal your 'zines and take your money, etc. we did go to Bumbershoot last year as part of PIPE, a group of independent Portland publishers, and may show up again this year.

        as of this week, you should be able to order one off the Powell's website, www.powells.com, and they still have copies of our "Exquisite Language" experiment, too, which contained a big ol' article on DJ Brokenwindow a.k.a. Solenoid a.k.a. David Chandler, who played at the first Decibel. you can also order issues via www.2GQ.org, but you have to send a check.

        thanks for caring, y'all. i hope i make it to Decibel one of these years.
