> Anyways, over the course of some time I have received the following

> - Maximumrocknroll # 300 ($4, mmr, POB 460760, SF, CA 94146-0760;
> maximumrocknroll.com). If they ever change a single thing about MMR, I
> will weep--it is perfect as it is. Included in this issue is the
> standard bad review of TIS.

> - OFF-Line #43 (free, Claire E. Cocco & Vincent J. Romano, 35 Barker Ave
> #4G, White Plains, NY 10601). This is the "White Plains: City of Dreams"
> issue, where they take an in-depth look at their adopted home town. I
> like that idea, to be honest. If I did that in Hoboken it would be all
> about the bars. I'm not even sure if there are other types of businesses
> here.

> - Zine World #25.5 (free to subscribers, POB 330156, Murfreesboro TN
> 37133-0156;www.undergroundpress.org). This is a cool idea, keeping
> those reviews fresh. There's a good one of TIS in here too. The
> Singularity will be the day when every zine in the universe contains a
> review of TIS simultaneously, and we will all rise up into heaven.

> - Fringe Five (No price, Lane Robbins, 12908 Borgman, Huntington Woods,
> MI 48070). Note that the letter I received with this zine has a
> different address on it, so I can't be 100% sure which one should be
> used. The inside cover declares that this issue "...covers my travels in
> New Zealand and Australia, as well as the time I spent at Green Gulch
> Farm..." It's bound with the simple expedient of wrapping a rubber band
> around folded pages, which I've never seen before and which appears to
> work nicely.

> - The Ken Chronicles #7 ($2, ken Bausert, 2140 Erma Drive, East Meadow,
> NY 11554-1120; passscr...@aol.com). Another digest-sized blast of
> perzine goodness from Ken.

> That's it! Aside from a letter from a prisoner who's been trying to get
> a copy of TIS for months now, with each issue returned for various
> reasons. I find this eternally frustrating, especially in those rare
> occasions when a prisoner has actually given me stamps or money, as this
> guy has. I mean, damn!
