A Little Weekend Archiving



Now that I'm less busy on the weekends, I've resumed my ongoing project to electronically archive my magazines and articles for research. This one oddity I've kept for a while.

Before I knew the Out of  The Blue Art Gallery, I knew it as this zine Out of the Blue written by by one Brian Rust. I likely picked it up at Newbury Comics, given that there's a price label on it. I don't remember the exact year, but t would have to be sometime in the late 90's given that there's a section in the zine that discusses upcoming episodes of Star Trek: Voyager. Featured on the first issue cover was a performer known as The Eight Foot Bride, who I used to see in Harvard Square. Today, we all know her better by her real name, Amanda Palmer.

Is this the first published interview of Palmer? It would take a better than me to know that. But you can read the interview today. I've temporarily included the zine as a PDF file, which you can now download here.
