Hey there
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is Swiss Pope. I've written for e-zines such as HoE Publications and
|
||
|
|
Grill. I love your site.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I noticed that you have Gozer #1 in the one-shot magazines directory of
|
||
|
|
textfiles.com.
|
||
|
|
Let me take a minute to inform you of a slight error in the description
|
||
|
|
and perhaps tell you about the rich history of Gozer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The description listed for Gozer on textfiles.com is "Gozer Issue #1, by
|
||
|
|
Murmur (Ray Stanz)". This should be corrected. I am Ray Stanz. Murmur
|
||
|
|
appeared in that issue under the alias "parfoums d'amorphis". So if you
|
||
|
|
could change it to "Gozer Issue #1, by Ray Stanz", that would be much
|
||
|
|
appreciated.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There were about 5 or 6 issues of Gozer. It was written almost
|
||
|
|
exclusively during e-zine writer and BBS gatherings in '95 and '96. Most
|
||
|
|
issues of Gozers were written on laptops. Murmur might retain some of the
|
||
|
|
issues.
|
||
|
|
I know at least one issue was written on my friend Greg's laptop and never
|
||
|
|
left it, and in '97 he had to give his laptop back to his aunt. And I
|
||
|
|
think his aunt is dead now so I'd imagine the laptop was sold or thrown
|
||
|
|
out or bequeathed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One issue of Gozer was written on a paper plate. During a high school
|
||
|
|
graduation party, Murmur was trying to mack on a BBS chick named Glynis
|
||
|
|
(read more about Glynis in http://www.hoe.nu/text/hoe-0264.txt and issues
|
||
|
|
of Grill).
|
||
|
|
So anyway, Murmur wrote "GLYNIS IS A HOTTIE" on a paper plate. During the
|
||
|
|
course of the party, people scrawled random graffiti on it (they probably
|
||
|
|
thought it was of sentimental value to the kid graduating, but little did
|
||
|
|
they realize this was a clever trick to get people to write for Gozer).
|
||
|
|
So the paper plate became an issue of Gozer. I can't remember if either
|
||
|
|
Murmur or I transcribed it, but I'm almost certain that if so the file
|
||
|
|
(and the paper plate) are forever lost.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Feel free to write if you're interested in more completely stupid e-zines
|
||
|
|
trivia.

Cheers
