KISS MACHINE ISSUE 7: WHAT WE DO AND WHY WE DO IT

:: Posted by max @ 9/14/2003 11:17:00 PM
The "what we do and why we do it" issue overflows with diary excerpts, manifestos and personal essays about our obsessions. We brought columnists Tamara Faith "Too Pop" Berger, Jesse "Reality Hacking" Hirsh and Zoe "Take Your Passion, Make it Happen" Whittall into the fold. They join our long-standing illustrious advice columnist, Mr. Well Hung. Art folios this issue include works by Patricio Davila, SB Edwards and Wendy Lu. The superb red and black silk-screened cover is a limited edition print by Julie Voyce. We also enlisted the design skills of the lovely and talented Matthew Blackett (M@B). You can buy it on thier website here or at the Word On the Street: Sunday, Sept. 28 | 11 am to 6 pm | Queen St W, between Spadina and University in Toronto.



The yearly book and magazine festival, Word On The Street in Toronto will have a slightly different flavor this year. M@B's Matt Blackett, No Media Kings' Jim Munroe and Kiss Machine's Emily Pohl-Weary will be giving away free advice on self-publishing at the Kiss Machine booth. Read a press release ici.



When you check out the KISS MACHINE booth at Word On The Street, you can get your own copy of the new issue straight from the hot, grubby hands of editors Paola Poletto and Emily Pohl-Weary! Also, Emily will be reading from her Toronto Book Award nominated book, Better to Have Loved: The Life of Judith Merril, at the City of Toronto Book Awards Tent at 3:15 pm.

PS:

Kiss Machine #7 TO BE LAUNCHED AT CANZINE

Canzine: Sunday, Oct. 19 | 1 to 6 pm | Gladstone Hotel, 1214 Queen Street W, Toronto



"We're going to launch the new issue at Canzine, Canada's largest zine fair and festival of underground culture, with a roomful of secrets. That's right, we're renovating an entire room at the delightfully seedy Gladstone Hotel (where Canzine is being held this year). Come out and add your biggest secret to our little den. It will be cathartic, we promise!"



WHAT ELSE HAS KM BEEN UP TO?

"During the past six months, we've been busy. We curated our first art exhibition, Girls and Guns, at Forest City Gallery in London, Ontario. The show is planning to travel to other venues next summer. We also went on tour with the Perpetual Motion Roadshow! Wow, we still feel the rock star glow: zipping in and out of seven different cities in the same number of days. We met tons of interesting people. We forced them to fill out a form in which they introduced themselves to the world. We embarrassed them by reading their forms aloud onstage right then and there."
