CSBYS NEW ALT MONTHLY

Columbus Sucks Because You Suck now comes with a legitimate alternative monthly, filling the void in our city for writing that doesn't make you regret living here. Brian Deller heads up the publication as he has the flyer. All the usual suspects have pieces in this: Martin of Weedsteeler, Bret from Black Cloud, Max of Biff Boff Barf, and some sundry other individuals. I have a piece in it about ways people come up with names for Punk houses and what naming those houses mean. I posted it on this blog here.

Here is the scanned in, out of order, magazine. Cover first then more after 'the jump.'

NAMES

SO YOU WANT TO NAME YOUR PUNK HOUSE…

      Well consider this: Given the demographic factors related to who frequents punk shows as well as the diverse selection of people one encounters at such shows, it is likely that at least one set of parents will have to, one day in the far off future, relate to their child the story of their meeting at your house. For that child’s sake, keep your puns fresh. But there is more than just an unborn child to consider, you will have to bear the burden of the chosen handle that represents your abode: it will have a spatial influence on flyers, a recall quotient for perspective show goers as well as the bands that play there, and, finally, the most important aspect; you not having to be embarrassed to tell strangers that, yes, you do live in “that house that does shows.”
