March of 2012 we conducted interviews with people who tabled and patronized the Chicago Zinefest. We will do the same this year during the 2013 Chicago Zinefest.
Enjoy the meanderings with Rosy Phinick, God Save the Zine, and everyone else.

We chat with John Davey about his upcoming album, In a Whelming Tide, available June 22nd in person and June 26th, online. The new album has an undertow of star crossed lovers, desperation, loss, redemption, hope, and gladness.
Mike Dodaro makes a guest appearance to inform the world that he is the best.

Bridget Johnston. Lover of scotch whiskey, dogs, photography, skirts and dresses. Lives vicariously as a New Yorker through Woody Allen to fulfill her childhood dream of living in the city. She decorates her walls with art by Pollock, Ginsberg poems, posters of Mile Davis, cards, and cut-outs from magazines (which she subscribes to none). She fears becoming crotchety, being over bodies of water, dreading her job, and terrible accidents to loved ones. She was a features editor for the Purdue Exponent. She recently moved to Washington to start an internship at the glorious media empire known as C-SPAN. We spoke with Bridget recently over Skype to get her story.

Sadly, some of the artists left early and we were not able to interview them in person. We did, however, follow up via e-mail. You can read the rest of this entry for their written responses.
The Media Collective attended a recent event put on by the great folks at City Foods, the local food co-op:
City Foods and Thistle Byre Farms 101 – a short presentation intended to update the public, members, and volunteers, of City Foods progress and mission. Abbey Abbott-Rider will also provide a background of her family-run farm, Thistle Byre Farm. Ms. Abbott-Rider, Nurse Practitioner, will also speak about the nutritional benefits of eating whole, local foods.
After the presentations, we were able to chat with Mary Lehmkuhl of City Foods to get the run down of the food co-op.
Be sure to check out the City Foods calendar for upcoming events.
The music we used in this show was Gepel’s Astart from their album, Moducué. You can download it from the freemusicarchive.org
