Preparation S #4 is a big jump from #3, which was already quite good. The main difference is that instead of packing mostly photos of his local crew, Aaaron published a bunch of submissions from people across the country who he was trading zines with. Close enough proximity to the Clown Ramp doesn’t hurt either. Preparation S#4 features a bunch of the same photos Sonny Robertson provided us of the Flux ramp - see That Time, That Place, parts one and two. Prepartion S #4 also comes from the collection of Sonny Robertson, and features pictures of the same looking like little cherub faced boy…
