We get a lot of mail here, not just e-mail. I’m talking snail mail. So here is a nice sample of the kinda stuff that makes our day.
Steven Syvembersky, Quimby’s founder and OG, discusses the start of Quimby’s, zine culture, and other juicy bits on Boom Chicago‘s weekly podcast, A Slice of The Shiny. Listen to it with iTunes or on the web.
Wow, Last night was one hell of an event as Allan MacDonell and Josh Alan Friedman joined us to talk about their new books and their respective years spent at Hustler and Screw. Besides a surprise blues performance by Josh-who performed two songs live on acoustic guitar; the night was capped off by the most amazing story ever told in Quimby’s about a video sex tape featuring Ted Turner and Jane Fonda plus a friend, ….and a strap on!!! Pics and more after the jump!
