Revolution Calling #12 by Various Authors ($2)

Issue #12 of the famed political zine, Revolution Calling. This issue is shorter, but contains a lot of cool things that were going down around the winter of 1999, while the revolutionary editor was in her senior year of high school. This zine contains tributes to high school teachers, which is quite refreshing in a time when everyone bashes teachers as a rite of passage of being "too cool for school," as well as many other items pertaining to high school, school sports vs. performing arts, and the uncertainty of coming of age. This particular issue centers a lot around technology, fear in the burgeoning technological age, and the unfamiliar territory of venturing from handwritten letters and cut 'n' paste zines to email and the world of e-zines and websites. Also includes the usual revolutionary boycott material and social commentary for which the loud zine has become quite infamous.
