TK Zine

Where the %#&@ is TK?!

Sun, 16 Oct 2011 17:27:58 -0400

I am horribly embarrassed and bummed that the second issue of TK didn’t get out on schedule. The honest truth: I love this zine dearly, but the process of starting a new job and moving to a new city kicked my ass. Between mastering the 9-5, setting up our first apartments and learning the intricate maze of big-city mass transit, Kuan and I had way less time for editing and production than we thought.

TK2 is coming, though. And there will be an issue 3 and 4 and 5 after that, until we’re really famous and do this full-time. Or something.

We just finished an awesome, lengthy Skype call in which we planned production for the second issue. We plan to have it all together and on the Internet by October 31.

If you have any questions about your submission, want to submit something now (theoretically, it’s not too late!) or want to rail on us for the absurd delay, shoot us an email — talktotkzine at gmail dot com.

I am really, truly sorry though, and I assure you that this isn’t a problem we expect to see again. Kuan and I both love this zine and the people who have contributed and made it so great. We’re amped to see what you come up with in the future.

— Caitlin

One more hour!

Thu, 14 Jul 2011 18:43:10 -0400

It is approximately 6:39 EST, which means you have a little more than an hour to get your submissions to talktotkzine@gmail.com.

A couple reminders: You do not have to know us/live in our region/be alumnae of our school to submit. There are no word minimums or maximums — if you only have 100 words, we will take your 100 words. And you can write/design/photograph absolutely anything, as long as it comes back to the theme of “access.”

If you contributed to Issue 1 or discussed contributing to Issue 2 with us, but have not completed your piece, please email talktotkzine@gmail.com and we’ll work it out.

Love y’all. Can’t wait to see what your work looks like full-size and in color.

Dear Joe,

If I can only succeed in making you happy — I will have succeeded in the bigest and most difficult thing there is — that is to make one personcompletely happy. Your happiness means my happiness.

“On August 5th of 1962, 36-year-old Marilyn Monroe was found dead at her home. The next day, the following unsent and seemingly unfinished letter, addressed to ex-husband Joe DiMaggio, was discovered at her desk, folded up in her address book. It is thought they were planning to remarry.” (via Letters of Note)

Designer and installation artist Candy Chang installed chalk boards on an abandoned building and invited people to write their hopes for the space on it. In doing so, she granted them rare access to, and input in, the urban development process.

“I cannot deny a person, a human being, a taxpayer, a worker, the people of my district and across this state, the State of New York, and those people who make this the great state that it is the same rights that I have with my wife.”

““Perhaps it once seemed that stars could ascend meritocratically. Wasn’t this the promise of “indie rock” (or whatever economy-of-a-smaller-scale proxy subculture you fancy) with its self-avowed, proudly ethical distance from the trad machinations of avaricious major labels, star-boning puff-piece magazines, corporatist logic and the like? (Or maybe that was my own teenage projection. Those were the days…) But, amidst the collapse of such readymade distinctions and the business of our time being that of friendship, it’s fascinating to scrutinize the web of interrelated associates, “followers,” comrades, supporters, fans and half-pals that comprise your typical emergent “scene.”“”
