I don’t read Thrasher with any sort of regularity anymore, sometimes I flip through it at the hippie grocery store in my neighborhood. however, I bought the last issue so I could check out an alleged Naked Raygun interview. Since I had already bought the cow instead of stealing the milk for free, (or maybe I was there to buy milk) I read the rest of it and was really surprised. A couple features caught my attention, especially a China/Vietnam tour diary by Michael Burnett. I had it in the back of my head to make a rainy day post about how I might start reading Thrasher more regularly. Cue plate of shrimp coincidence. Michael Burnett is having a book release/photo show/reading at Cal’s Pharmacy in Portland tomorrow, July 11th from 7-10 with live music by Yes Father. The book appears to be called… The Outskirts of Awesome. DISCLAIMER: I took the liberty of replacing the original photo on the official flyer with a different picture I poached from his web site. Artists really love it when you appropriate and mess with their vision. Don’t let them tell you any different. Even if they seem like they are getting irate about it, they’re really just pulling your leg. I know this for certain because I went to art school. Just give them a knowing wink. It can be our secret. Check out the official flyer after the jump.

Plate of shrimp is no coincedence. All part of our cosmic conscienceness. John Wayne was a fag.

My highlights too. The fake constellations and tattoo flash art were pretty funny too.

I thought exactly the same thing afer reading the latest one.
I was going to stop subscribing as of late I have got real tired of the mag, the countless ads and the shitty journalism. This months issue was a breath of fresh air though.The Asia article went on for a decent length very funny in places too. The Rune interview was good. Plus a Tommy G interview. Still a long way to go but I may hang in there for a few more issues now before dumping it now.
