    This is wow. Ok, this is the first issue I've read and the writing is awesome. It opens by taking us through part of the mental mayhem that ensues once you've hit your head on pavement while skateboarding without a helmet. And as Andy started to remember things, he wrote himself notes and has included them. While the quality of writing and the content in the first piece could stand easily as a zine itself, the pieces that make up the rest of the zine he describes as a chronicle of some of the things he's done in the last few years. Pieces on leaving college and friends, his internship with the United Steelworkers of America, four weeks on the road with a bookmobile (including a scary incident on the highway), some reviews/descriptions of radical biographies and autobiographies. Rounding out this issue is a really interesting piece titled The Great West Philadelphia Food Co-op Strike of 2002. Excellent read.
