Who What Where When Why Utne Reader loves it

Utne Reader has featured one of my zines once again! The last time was for Crumbs on the Cutting Board, way back in October of 2006. This time around, it's Who What Where When Why (I Think I Love You), of which they say:
In [her] admirably nonjudgmental zine, Who What When Where Why (I Think I Love You), Lex McQuilkin shares [her] favorite desperate-yet-entertaining "Missed Connections" ads culled from two months of surfing the Bay Area's Craigslist site. Each post's unique grammatical style is preserved ("Your older, balding and sexy!!"), and McQuilkin's illustrations dream up visages of the would-be lovers in question. Some ads seem particularly ripe for romance, like "Love on the Muni," in which a San Francisco bus driver seeks "Oh baby blue babe with your baby blue rain boots and baby blue bike... Next time I see you I am going to swerve that damn bus into the median and confess my loveee." Other, less suave writers aren't quite as endearing: "I am looking for the drunk chick that was at the Dragon Lounge last Wednesday night. I really felt a connection while you were rolling around on the pool table naked." -- Danielle Maestretti

It might compel me to actually reprint, as I'm down to the last dozen or so copies, though I'm considering just letting it rest and moving on to volume 2. Perhaps, perhaps.
