Resist #51 - Postcard Zine
I love how postcards force us to condense our thoughts and stories into a tiny space. As someone who tends to be a long winded writer, I need that exercise once in a while. Many years ago I put together a zine of postcard submissions and decided about a year ago that I'd like to do it again and put out a call for submissions.
This zine is the 31 postcards I received reproduced in actual size (for the most part). There are some drawings, some collages, some stories, and one "recycled" found postcard. Waiting for these submissions was an exciting time for me. I don't get a whole lot of real mail anymore, and so many times I would check my PO Box and sit down on the post office steps to look at the postcards and just think, "This is awesome! I love this!" There's some great stuff in here!

Resist #49 mini-zine
$
1.00
This is a mini-zine I've been wanting to do for a while. It's a folded legal size piece of paper, so you get a few pages but it's all printed on one piece of paper. I mostly did it to bring with me to Muddy Roots Music Festival. It touches on the things I usually write about: urban homesteading, working, pursuing what you love... but in a more condensed form than usual. $1.00 basically covers the stamp and paypal fees. I'll throw it in for free with any other purchase if you ask for it.
Minneapolis from the Saddle - A Winter Cycling Journal (Resist #48)
$
7.00
This is a collection of short stories about bicycling in Minneapolis in the winter. It starts off with broken bikes and a failing resolve. At the beginning of the book, I’m not ready for another brutal Minnesota winter on my bicycle. Somehow I get myself to do it anyway, and you get to join me as the temperature drops and the streets fill with snow and slush. Ride along as the temperature drops to 25 degrees below zero, and I’m adding layer after layer to try to keep warm. Watch me leave my hat and gloves at home on an unseasonably warm day that turns out to still be subzero. Take a scenic ride along the Mississippi river with me and come along when I get lost on my way to pick up a moving truck. Join me on a bicycle for the coldest 3 months of a Minnesota winter and maybe you can figure out why I seem to be enjoying it.
Nearly all of the illustrations in this book are pictures of my bike I took while riding. So along with a few pictures of bridges and bike trails, you get a lot of strange perspectives of my bicycle in motion.
Printed on salvaged letterhead. Every copy is a hand bound book.

Resist 47
$
5.00
This is the first zine I've done since writing How and Why. I think Resist 46 came out about 5 years ago. It spans some pretty serious life changes, but it also covers a lot of the topics that have been standard in Resist for years. It's still coming from the self-sustainable, DIY mindset that it's always come from. I write about gardening, bicycling, and building musical instruments. I also spend some time on DIY home improvement projects, though in more of a storytelling format than a step by step guide. 52 nearly half sized pages. I'm planning to limit it to 100 hand numbered copies. It'll run you $4 plus $1 for shipping.
Resist #42
58 pgs (8.5x5.5) This one starts out with a bit of gardening and then goes into a piece on how to get a composting system started and keep it working efficiently. Then i go into a tirade against Wal-Mart that goes on for a few pages, with a number of reasons why you should patronize locally owned shops. a history of my obsession with bicycles that leads into instructions on how to build your very own cartbike. A piece about the Minneapolis May Day protests, and some bicycle advocacy. It wraps up with stuff about dumpster diving, DIY & some obligatory zine and music reviews.

Resist #30
50 pages (8.5x5.5") I recently ran across a whole slew of Resist #30. This thing is super old! It's the 30th anniversary/end of the year(1998) spectacular! It has a short history of Resist & a lot of fighting against growing up. There's a bunch of stuff about travel in there, like a long story about our trip out to L.A. A lot of nostalgia, and some poetry by Dan Buck. Also a story by my friend Karrie, about one of her amazing trips.
