"Pocket #3: There are three sections to this zine. The first, 'Day Dreams' includes six short stories of the world as the author wishes it were (including a cop who hands a speeder a $100 bill and then sends the driver on his/her way). The second section includes two essays: 'Man Versus Drum Machine' (which I didn't read) and a fairly interesting history of PBR beer. The third section includes a list of 'crazy' words and an index."

Making a 'zine
By Tracy Zollinger Turner

There's a secret and remarkable mass transit system in Columbus that can take "awesome" people, particularly sultry, scarf-knitting women, anywhere in the city they need to go. That's a great convenience for one of the greatest, most internationally acclaimed tambourine players of all time, a local man who is able to move the masses into wild dancing with his rhythms from right in front of Steak n Shake.

That's the way that things are in Damion Armentrout's daydreams. Six of them, along with essays about drum machines and Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, are cleverly written about in the third issue of his 'zine Pocket, which will set you back about the cost of a bottle of water — $1.50.
