Not very well thought out or done, both layout and design, and in particular the choice of text. Just think, if all 10 people who decide to go get just their ass to San Francisco, you'r going to have just a bunch of asses hanging around. A really bad ad indeed.

Where's Bruce Gillespie, Uwe Anton, Gregg Rickman, etc.???? Also most curious that this so called "festival" is being held at SFSU whereat it just so happens Mr. Gill teaches as a Lecturer. And it's not being held over the traditional Labor Day holiday weekend...Hmmm... Curious that the four “featured” guest-speakers are all considered academics, not long time PKD fans.

Don't bite off too much. Pick one incident, one character, etc. that tickled your brain cells and ask all kinds of questions about it as you write. If I can help, let me know. I believe you have my email address. Dont’ even think about “dreadful,” David K. Think Ubik or Can-D!! Also,

It's another cracking issue! David, yes please DO write something for the next issue - a piece on The Man in the High Castle would be great!! Send it to pkdotaku@gmail.com (= Patrick). Many people think of writing a piece or sending a letter but then they do nothing or forget. That the 'zine still exists is a testimony to the constant dedication of Patrick Clark, Frank bertrand, Dave Hyde, and lately Jami Morgan. As a free 'zine which publishes interesting articles and cogent essays in a visually professional format - it is a must for Dickheads everywhere.
