Subject: A question about the new issue of Black Carrot

Quimbys,

Soon enough, I will have a new issue (#15) of my zine Black Carrot.  A zine

I have long enjoyed selling at Quimbys.  This issue of Black Carrot, will

come with a sandwich.  I am not kidding.  Would this affect in any way

selling it at Quimbys?  I mean you can keep the sandwiches in a cooler,

and eat a few if you wanted.. Anyways, share with me your thoughts.

xo,

dave

Hi Dave,

Liz Mason here. A sandwich! You are insane. Can I post your e-mail on our

blog?

Child, tell me more about your crazy sandwich zine. Specifically, what would

be on this sandwich? I like this idea more and more by the second.

Specifically, I like the idea of the zine being the meat, sandwhiched

in-between 2 slices of bread.
