The Jaded Review Issue 1 - Shut up Hippy
there are also the PDF files if you want to print your own and spread the love
Some friends of mine and I wrote this earlier this summer to pass out at festivals. Our dedication, abundance of time, and financial support allowed us to put out a first and final print run of a staggering 19 copies, yet despite the minimal print run hundreds of my friends seemed to have read it. So I’ve decided to offer it to the internet for the rest of you.
The zine wasn’t really finished as I wanted to have at least 8 pages, but I was busy with work and after awhile it didn’t really seem worth the effort… err i mean I offended myself so deeply while writing it that I had to stop. The original idea was a travel guide for newbies entering the festival circuit (doesnt matter if its the burningman-neo-pagan or the hippie jam band circuit theres a little something for everyone)
We started with the Guide to Euphamistic starchild terminology, explaining what these terms really mean. Theres a Astral Chakra Matrix (check out the online version) to help you create your own playa-name, tribe.net name, or the name of your fire-spinning troupe … whatever really. And lastly theres a comic which you can fill in with your own adventures.
If you take offense to this be sure to write some angry letters!

Somebody needs a hug.
(( frigging hilarious. You are twisted geniuses, you need help but please don’t get any. We need more haters. When the cyborg wars come the hippies will be the first to burn. Hail Eris! ))

having recently moved from the midwest to the west coast, i would just like to thank you for providing this valuable reference for deciphering the convoluted verbal affectations of hippie culture.

Don’t forget this one….
Home: (see Burningman, see playa): 1) temporary abode 2) a place where out of work, slackers and hippies hang out for a period time between couch surfing on friend’s sofas due to unemployment or lack of motivation or general antipathy towards work or responsibility.

…and this one:
miracle: the unrealistic expectation that the universe gives a fuck about what you want
without you ever making the first
effort to acquire it by conventional
means such as working for it.
