It brought back many "hippie adjacent" type memories when we lived in West Lafayette, Indiana!!!
Just as Hal said, your creative talents are definitely revealed in this zine defining-based post.! As I make this comment, my heart is filled with Joy and Love for my first born daughter!!! Yvette,your creative memories and your creative art projects have blessed all of us throughout your life.
I continue to be inspired by you and your sister. I'm so happy that I am a subscriber!!! I am looking forward to reading
all future posts!! Remember this song: "On The Wings of Love" from the 70's I think!! Also Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me To The Moon", Could that have "zine" features? Love you to the moon and back! Lol
Dear Yvette, I smiled in awe as I read this. I love your creativity and the description of your zines. I kind of vaguely remember that term, but I do remember the college campus of the late 60s, with flyers and home-grown publications being handed out on street corners and in front of campus shops for all kinds of reasons -- all kinds of experimental newspapers being developed. At UT Austin, the underground newspaper was The Rag -- I'm pretty sure it would qualify as a zine -- and it had a big circulation! "Hippie-adjacent" -- what a great term!! I am so happy that you are deploying your creative spirit and energies and talents in these ways. I am cheering you on!! (PS: I may have a few photos of you from grad school days that I'd be happy to share if you'd like.)
Hal, I am so pleased you enjoyed the post! Yeah, I was definitely in a "hippie-adjacent" household growing up...oh, the tales I could tell LOL.
I'd definitely enjoy seeing those photos you have. Actually, I came across some from FSOS and NCFR with you in them as I was looking for a childhood photo in order to create this post.
Thanks so much for your encouragement with this Substack experiment. Watch your mailbox for something from me soon!
My Dear Daughter,
I truly enjoyed reading this!
