The Thinking Persons Learning and Resource Center Needs Your Help

Underdog Press
This nice gentleman contacted us about a resource center in the Philippines, and he’s looking for donations of your zines and what not. His name is Alter Picar, and he’s from the from Davao City, Philippines D.I.Y. Community. His collective is establishing a public/zine library and social center called “The Thinking Persons Learning and Resource Center” which will open in March. They hope to attract students, activists and people from DIY community. Alter is accepting donations of any kinds of zines, old books and pamphlets or whatever materials that would be helpful in this endeavor. Since they are living in an economically destitute country, this project will not be possible without outside help. If you’re interested in helping, e-mail him at thethinkingpersons@yahoo.com to get his complete address. For more info: http://www.myspace.com/underdog_press .

A Public Service Annoucement: New Vice Here

NEW VICETo all the lovely people who ask us “YO VICE? WHERE IT AT?” and other, less intelligible questions, your beloved ADMIN of this here QUIMBLOG is here to inform you that we have the new issue of Vice Magazine available in our venerable “free shit” area, fresh off the dump truck. It looks like this is the short story issue, featuring folks like William T. Vollman, Mary Gaitskill, Tao Lin, Nick Tosches and others, so Terry Richardson wannabes may want to give this new issue a pass. With photos and illustrations by former(?) Chicagoan Vincent Dermody and Brian’s favorite assnozzle, Johnny Ryan, plus more usual Vice shit from “the ususal gang of idiots”.
