I used to enjoy a fanzine called Dishwasher-- a journal of a guy who drifted around the country working as a dishwasher. If I ever do a fanzine again it should also have interviews with people who aren't in the creative arts. The car washers, the parking lot attendants, the truck unloaders.
It's a bummer that Dishwasher went the way of the dinosaur. Well, not quite I suppose (apparently there's a book now: http://www.dishwasherpete.com/) but the zine became staggeringly good during its last several issues. Just better and better.
ReplyDeleteI love the stories of the "common folk", the mechanics, the guy throwing the newspaper onto the lawn, the pest control man.. whoever it is. What they witness is always interesting.
