Dream Whip, no. 14

When I read zines like this, I want to go on an adventure so that I can write all about it and provide others with vicarious adventures like the one I received from reading this zine. It's wonderful--this small book/zine published by Microcosm Press out of Portland. The fact that it is hand written makes it all the more precious (it's completely legible, don't worry). The book itself details a series of adventures all over the United States, into a little bit of Canada, then across the Atlantic by ship and into Europe. I haven't actually finished reading. Currently, I'm reading about the author's adventures in the Netherlands hanging out in Turkish bars and such. The sea voyage was a great segment. But I have to say my favorite stories are about road-tripping around the Southwest (and the South). He buys bicycles, rides through Texas alley ways, and eats breakfasts in Arizona and L.A. It's hard to describe why this book is so wonderful. It's simple and espouses a punk sense of adventure. And it makes me want to travel
