Now is the time on Webzines when we DANCE! It's time once again for Webzine 9x, the Web zinemakers' confab and celebration. You should COME!
Pigdog Journal sent a recon team to Webzine 98 here in San Francisco last year, and we had a real good time. My one big complaint was that it didn't seem like there was enough grass-roots involvement from Web zine makers like us.
But not this year! PDJ is going to be OUT IN FORCE for Webzine99, and we'll be participating at all levels. It's still possible for YOU, independent Web content creator, to get in the door, too. You should look at this site, sign up, get into it, and get on stage.
Not to toot our own horn, but it's a BITCH to get a Web zine going. Many are called, but few are chosen. We deserve a party. If you make a zine, so do you.
Tell yer zinester friends that Webzine 99 is the place to be, eh. More zinesters, more fun, more CRAZINESS and techno music and Digital GAR GAR GAR! Don't let the assholes and dilettantes take over the Web -- check out Webzine 99.

It's not like I have a heroin problem, see. I'm just a self-indulgent brat who likes to live beyond her means. When I zip down to my corner Money Mart for a little cash-till-payday loan, I'm really not planning to spend it on drugs. I'll spend it on sushi. Seventy bucks of interest for a two-week $400 loan is perfectly reasonable, if you really need that hamachi. (More...)
During a magnificent sunny day in a fast receding autumn, the Spock Science Monitor reporters once again blew the playa dust off of their computers and covered the 2002 Burning Man Decompression – held every year just east of Portola Hill in beautiful San Francisco. Both an afternoon and evening issues were released to the unsuspecting crowd of freaks attempting to in some small way experience the euphoria of the playa – if but for a brief afternoon far from the desolation of Northern Nevada.
