At the risk of being a total dork, I made my Positive Influence Zine playlist public on both Spotify and Apple Music to share what posicore and straight edge hardcore music I was listening to both back in the day as well when I was putting together my introduction to the anthology. I found it helpful to get into the same headspace I was in decades ago while searching those dusty corners of my mind for interesting stories or factual tidbits about creating the zine with Buster.

So amped to announce that Shining Life Press is now taking pre-orders for the long awaited Positive Influence Fanzine anthology. This project has been over 2 years in the making so I’m both excited and relieved to have reached the finish line! Not only does this soft-bound book feature all 6 issues of Positive Influence, it also includes 21 pages of bonus material such as archival photos, flyers, ads, plus an introduction written by yours truly that goes into the history of the ‘zine with many stories from those times. It was quite a process to dig up all of the ephemera that went into this project, and honestly it’s a small miracle that so much of it had survived decades of moving around Southern California!
Ryan and I spent an afternoon at Disneyland’s California Adventure to check out the vegan options at the annual Food & Wine Festival going on now. Though we’ve been to the park’s annual Festival of Holidays and Lunar New Year events, to the best of our recollection, this is the first time we hit up this foodie event! Watch to see our review of the seasonal plant based items offered this time around.
