I came out to Cali, we set up shop, hit up a bunch of record labels for ads and stuff to review, did some interviews, gathered up some columnists, got drunk in Vegas, and worked on this zine. Thus, Razorcake was born (in less than a third of the time it's gonna take for that AAA interview to run). It'd be nice to get your broke ass out of my hair." Or something like that. Also, I have an incredibly patient and understanding fiancé who told me, "Fine, go to California to put out that zine. I thought about it, and I had all the right qualifications: I was unemployed, not really doing anything with my life, and I like punk rock. You should really go to print, too." And Todd, always being one to turn responsibility back to the critics, told me that, if I really wanted a print version of Razorcake, I should get off my ass and do it with him. While he was there, we started talking about the web zine and I said something like, "What about poor fuckers like me who can only use the internet in half hour intervals at the library?" Todd said something like, "You're fucked, then, aren't you?" Then I said, "Yeah, but most punks are in the same boat as me. Shortly after that, Todd took a vacation to Florida to hang out with me and drink away his woes. Together, the three of them came up with the name and the beginnings of a web zine. I know Todd left Flipside and wanted to start a new magazine, so first he went to Tucson to meet with Skinny Dan and Katy. And now on to the things I do know about. Anyway, if you want to know more about Flipside and its possible demise, check out Todd's column.
So if it does still come out, at least we know it's timely. All I know from my personal experience is that I did an interview with Against All Authority sometime during the summer of 1999, and that interview is set to run in the next issue. Maybe Flipside? It was actually the longest continuously publishing punk rock magazine in America. You're probably wondering who the hell we are, right? Basically, a bunch of us used to write for a punk magazine called B-sides or something like that. Sixth page, 2.5 inches wide, 5 inches tall. Quarter page, 3.75 inches wide, 5 inches tall.
