Tripe Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Can someone do me a favor and scan the front page? The only version I can use on the site is from LastGasp, which has the title slightly cropped. I'd like a better quality version if possible. I would, but I am at work and it's at home. Surely someone will get to it before I could. I think the one I have has the top of the title cropped off anyway. DIY printing, hah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nele Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 My copy finally arrived in the mail today. The company used a used envelope to send it. Well, at least they know how to recycle. It seems to be a really good read, even though I haven't read that much today. I'll try to finish it next week though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanAsFuck Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 So I'm in New York for the next two days... I'm staying in Mamaroneck, but we're spending most of our time in NYC... Where's the closest place to Mamaroneck or NYC that would have the Zine still? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindsey Love Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I bought this at 924 Gilman Street in the back room. Anyway I read it. I was not offended like some where. Cometbus was simply stating his opinion. Though some may not agree with everything he says (by all means I don't) he is only sharing his thoughts which I appreciate. I will admit he was at times unfair toward Green Day fans in particular. Overall I found this bit of reading to be very insightful in the world of Aaron. Highly reccomended.

Lorraine. Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 So I'm in New York for the next two days... I'm staying in Mamaroneck, but we're spending most of our time in NYC... Where's the closest place to Mamaroneck or NYC that would have the Zine still? If you wanna travel to Brooklyn, go to Book Thug Nation. I know a bunch of people said the zine was around the city. I don't remember the stores off the top of my head. Try the East or West Village stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leisha-LUNA Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 We went to forbidden planet in nyc to buy it. I didn't end up getting it though cause I read a few sentences and knew that he would piss me off. I know it's his opinion and he's just being honest, but yeah, I couldn't be bothered carrying it around if I wasn't going to like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day, don't judge a book by its cover, or by the few random lines that stick out at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day, don't judge a book by its cover, or by the few random lines that stick out at you. Fair point. And I will read it at some point, friends have bought it. But I wasn't going to spend precious food dollars, or space in my tiny carry on bag that was my only belongings for my trip to the US, on something I wasn't interested in reading.

Supermodel*Robot Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Just ordered mine. Pretty excited to actually get a chance to read the whole thing and make an informed opinion. Plus, since I already have #53, maybe I'll start a collection. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzz Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I'm pretty sure most US orders will be going out in the next couple days. Some of you will have them by Friday or Saturday (assuming everything goes as planned). International orders will probably be getting in sometime next week. Still working out all the details to purchase the envelopes and labels. We'll post an update here and on GDA. Plus, the day your order is shipped, you'll get an email from someone on the team.

Anja Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I started reading mine the other day on my way back home from NY and yep, I can totally see why Billie was pissed about it and wouldnt sign it. I mean, there's a lot of positive stuff about the band in there but also one or two things that are just way too personal and don't belong there. But apart from that, I really enjoy reading it (besides the fact that I have to look up too many words sometimes ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anja Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 There is a part of me that says to this: "hey-oh!" Because you're glad you didnt ask him to sign it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 ^The band must've been aware of what they were letting themselves in for with Aaron though. He writes whatever he observes, they must know him and his writing well enough to know that holding things back isn't his style. I still think it could've just been because Billie didn't wanna sign something that isn't his work. Although from the sound of it maybe when I read it I'll think differently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellenkc Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Aaron probably saw that coming, he mentioned a good bit how personally Billie takes criticisms of the band and himself. In fairness to him, he was asked to write about it, so he wrote. Although if I was reading it from Green Day's perspective...well there's a lot I'd be pretty pissed about. Did he say anything when you asked him to sign it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDM Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 Because you're glad you didnt ask him to sign it? Lol, exactly! Among other reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
