Emerson Dameron serves as editor and sole
contributor for the zine Wherewithal. He also
contributes to the2ndhand, Zine World: A
Reader’s Guide to the Underground Press, Dusted
Magazine, The Machine and other magazines and
websites. On Wednesday nights, he hosts a show
on WLUW-FM. With the rest of the Diatribe Media
family, he organizes small-press events in
Chicago. With Nell Taylor, he co-founded the
Chicago Underground Library, which you should
ask him about. He fancies himself a comedian,
though accounts vary. He is an ordained minister
and performs weddings at reasonable rates. He
maintains a skeletal online presence at
loudwire.net/~emerson.
 
Tanis Rideout’s first appearance was in a
foreign story line (Unclear Origins, issue #8),
which took her through Tai Chi Ch’uan poetry
training around the globe. Never a master of
secret identity, she took refuge from the world
to master control of language and rhythm (see
The Lost Years, issue #4). During that time she
learned to wield words with ninja-like
precision. She emerged from seclusion to join
the Justice League of Poets (Northern Stories,
issues #63-on). Current plotlines leave our hero
seeking to balance her search for poetic justice
with daily existence (The Continuing Adventures
of Po’ It Girl). www.geocities.com/tanis_rideout
 
What do hippie parents and too many Zeppelin
albums make? Snoovy — Toronto’s veteran grrl
rocker gives you the flower child experience in
a blend of her own jumpy rock hits and moody
ballads. Her sweet and sultry vocals and
heavy-handed acoustic rhythm guitar will make
you go groovy all over, baby. She’s the Montreal
Fringe Fest’s battle-of-the-bands winner, the
Toronto pride stage chick rocker, University of
Manitoba’s flute choir diva, and California’s
speed metal folkie. A true tour baby at heart,
Snoovy joins the Roadshow to spread more peace,
love, and rock and roll. www.snoovy.com
