In this post:
1. finally a chance to pick up the most recent issue of the fort90zine!
2. but more importantly, a chance to get some other cool game related knickknacks while you’re at it
3. plus, if you live in New York city, I have a gallery opening!
So for a while now, people have been asking about the second issue of the fort90zine, aka Summer Carnival 09. Specifically, how they can get their hands on a copy, and up till this point, it was only available at whatever small press comic and zine show I might have exhibiting at this past summer in the city.
Well at long last, it’s finally available online! As of today, Attract Mode’s Video Game Culture Shop is open for business…
… In addition to both editions of the zine, one can find all sorts of neat t-shirts, buttons, and HOLY SH*T, TETRIS ICE CUBE TRAYS!!! Plus there’s an extremely tight assortment of CDs for purchase, including Goto80′s Commodore Groove, which is still my favorite chiptunes album of all time (if only for Fantasy, aka the greatest chiptunes love song ever conceived and executed).
I’m just thrilled to have my crappy books alongside Raina Lee’s groundbreaking 1UP MegaZine, which goes without saying has been a major inspiration for my all my game writing related endeavors. My stuff really can’t compare, but I’m trying my very best to at least hang. Speaking of, this week I’m taking the first steps towards putting together the third edition, which should hopefully be ready by year’s end.
I also wanted to congratulate Adam Robezzoli for putting together such an incredible assortment of awesome, and thank him once again for having me aboard. Adam also gave me the boost of confidence I really needed when I was down in the dumps during the production of the second issue, when I was wondering if anyone would actually give a rat’s ass. So please support the good man and buy something!
BTW, if you?re in the NYC area, the fort90zine(s) can also be picked up Central Booking, a brand new art space in the heart of DUMBO that focuses on books and printmaking. For those of you who might have missed the original mention in the news section a few weeks ago, the opening reception is later this week, Thursday to be exact. Everything anyone needs to know can be found here… I’ll definitely be on-hand for the festivities, so if you can, please stop by!
