I wrote three articles for Punk Planet, a superfine Chicago publication -- DIY Zine -- -- Fair, DIY Novel -- -- Writing, and a piece on Who's Emma -- before I ever met the editor in person. When I did, Dan was wearing a shirt that claimed he was 60 and Lovin It! but frankly, he didn't look a day older than 50. Their snazzy site is at www.punkplanet.org.

This Magazine has been called a Canadian version of Z Magazine and is edited by the outrageously talented and personable Andi Curtis. Working on my story on the anarchist gathering with her was so pleasurable I would have done it for free, but don't tell her that. Their site's www.thismag.org.

TransMission is one of the best bike activism magazines in the world. The people who do it have a lot of energy, which mean that the cycling groups (such as Critical Mass)in this town are some of the most together and effective. I give cars another year, and that'll be it. See why at www.web.net/~detour.

Lickspittle Ventures is my small press, installed in a white van that constantly circles Washington D.C. It emits zines in short bursts and books in loud belches. I've been publishing my writing for eight years now, and I encourage everyone to take similarly rash measures. You can check out my old stuff by clicking here.

Rush Hour Revisions is my favourite small press in Toronto, and not just because Vern looks like Han Solo. It publishes gutsy smart stuff but despite this also included a piece of mine in their short-shorts anthology, Burning Ambitions. Check out www.echo-on.net/~rushhour.

HarperCollins is my publisher in Canada. My debut novel, Flyboy Action Figure Comes With Gasmask, will be unleashed February 1999. They've been very pleasant, especially considering how mouthy I am. I haven't seen their site -- but you can by typing in -- -- www.harpercollins.com/canada.

Mark Slutsky -- -- (slytusk@gmail.com) not only -- -- co-wrote the Slackwater script with -- -- me, he's also a key player in the -- -- Automatic Vaudeville Movie Company. To get more of a flave for the man, check out this interview I did with him in My Space is the Place.

Terry Lau's (416-496-2104) long-awaited Beehive is open for business -- the business of blowing your mind with design perfection. He was the art director on the cover of my new novel -- no surprise, since Terry's been my art director since we were 15.

Basma (planetjasmin@hotmail.com) drew the great cartoon pictures on the Flyboy page. She lives in Nova Scotia where she illustrates scientific concepts, does delicate and haunting stickers and zines, and plots to evolve with or without the rest of the human race.

Steve Venright (venright@interlog.com) took the best photos ever taken of me, including this one, in front of the Lillian H. Smith public library. Author of four books of trance prose, including the excellent Straunge Wunder or The Metalirious Pleasures of Neuralchemy (Tortoiseshell & Black, 1996) and Spiral Agitator (forthcoming from Coach House Books, early 1999). Founder of Torpor Vigil Industries, a vulgar attempt to transform life on Earth and trigger the Rapture.

Sam Andreeff (www.interlog.com/~anteater) helped me scan my life into JPG format, and also produces crisply printed, obscurely pleasant publications through The Expert Press.
