i was on collating duty last night, where six of us accomplished more in less time than the twenty or so bodies at the collating party for the first issue. anyway, last saturday saw a few of us gather at AW's to try to come up with content for this thing. it seemed like we all had the same problem: the concept of interdependence was just a bit too nebulous and vague to conjure up anything that didn't seem either ridiculously obvious or incredibly contrived.
in the end, there was a collection of random mediocre art. the way it was put together, though, is pretty good. i mean, it is a zine, so we're not really demanding particularly high standards, but all in all, it's a lot better than i'd expected. there's a page on lichens, a page on symbiosis, and, yes, plenty of random art, but it's kinda funky. my favourite is the poem that cori wrote:
haiku needs poet
poet needs verse to exist
interdependent
today's MOMpop is supposed to be a picnic, so HT and we're going to pick up some groceries before heading over. it'll be fun: pedal-powered sound, dancing, picnic... i'll try to remember my sunscreen this time.
