Cheap Sticker @ Relay For Life, May 1st, 2004 @ DePauw University

Although I had heard a great deal of different responses about whether or not this show was happening, I decided to stop out by it during a break from studying.

Transcendence #1

I picked up this magazine at the table at the 2002 UPC. I just realized that this zine is put out by Jamez Terry, the zinester also behind Sex, Death, and Ronald McDonald. All and all, this zine is septic while being personal, all computer laid out but still having some of the feel that the cut and paste zines have. Excerpts from journals mesh themselves with different poetry as…

A year had passed since the first time I was exposed to the Greencastle, Indiana music scene. A year since all the name-calling and personal attacks that I had received for my reviews of the three bands that had played, and a year that was an eternity for these bands to refine their style, fall away, or do some combination of the both. Of the three bands that played at…
