the Christian Radical: problems and pleas
Hi,
if you read the print version of The Christian Radical in Vancouver BC and you've been wondering where this one is and why you havn't seen any in the usual spots around town, it's because they are all still at the Catholic Worker waiting to be folded, stapled and distributed.
There is a very good reason for this: I can't do it all by myself.
The past couple of months maybe you have noticed that they don't all appear promptly or maybe there are fewer around. The Christian Radical has never been a one man show. In times past I was able to manage a 200 copy print run each month because I had help from one of my best friends but as he has had to retire to heal from an illness I have been saddled with this city on my own. I can afford to print two hundred a month no problem but getting them assembled and distributed is another matter.
I've tried to cut the print run down by 50 but 150 copies is no easier to do than 200 and it's an overwhelming thing to do all on ones own.
So I have a unique petition: if you live in Vancouver BC and you care about seeing this zine apear in paper each month and have time you would be willing to donate to making this happen with me could you please write me at the.christian.radical.zine@gmail.com
I really need the help and I don't want to stop but if I can't get someone who is willing and able to at least distribute them with or for me each month then I don't know what I'll have to do.
If you are out there, please write to me, or post in this blog.
thanks in advance

Ahoy. I dunno if Ole got back to you or not. After he got your message he put on The Revolutionary Army of the Infant Jesus and started imagining how to put together a band that would sound like them. Anyhoo, we'll be away until the 29th, but after that there shall be musicalness. Oh yes, and I can offer my services to help with stapling and distributing and whatnot (but not til after the 29th, so maybe for next month's issue?). I'd offer my printer but its a piece of crap and will use up $50 worth of ink just printing out term papers.
I think i replied to your email. you are at iamusingtheinternets@gmail.com, yes?
