Interest In a DIY Pipe Magizine?

[condorlover1]

I think you should shoot for something between High Times with a touch Easy Rider/Mad Magazine - maybe you could call it BSW - Back Street Weirdo's or something along those lines. Perhaps even 'Giving it a Length of Pipe!' or even LBAM - Laid Back and Mellow are all perfectly acceptable titles. I used to review certain illegal substances for LBAM back in my University days, my article on Pervitin was very popular circa 1984/85 after we got our hands on some during a trip to Eastern Europe!

Was thinking something simple like PipesZinE

I come from an 80's punk aesthetic so wondering if many even know what a Zine is , here's a quick Wik.

Zine - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

I used to love old Mad Magazine I especially enjoyed the fold over on the back might try something like that pipe related

Good points and challenges.

Off the top of my head a few things I would enjoy.

It would have actual pages to turn.
It would be currated not moderated.
No Advertising = No Bias.
Unique hopefully in the same way that D.I.Y. Zine culture is to mainstream Magazine culture, more of an artifact than a consumer product.
The Contributors would be doing it for love not money which tends to make things more interesting.
With a revolving cast like when people get burned out or maybe we could rotate a bit with each issue and keep it fresh.

Just spitballing here.

Man, I wish you the very best in this endeavor. You have the passion to make it happen.
