Finally I dip my toes back in bloggin' waters

I started writing for a print fanzine out of England called Bubblegum Slut. I was inspired to do some fan writing again by my natural proclivities and the fact Bob Cantu began publishing an entire print zine locally called Baby Jeepers. I started up with Bubblegum Slut before I knew Flipside was going to be resurrected online - but I doubt that would have changed my plans. Ay any rate for now I plan to post three things in this entry. My two columns to date that appeared in Bubblegum Slut and a table I made of gigs attended the past couple months. I intended or maybe still intend to go back a few years with this but for now this is a start!
