Amusing Yourself To Death

A guide to surfing the papernet


Sorry that the site hasn't been updated in a long time, but both Ruel and Rick (the webmaster) have been quite busy with more pressing matters in their lives over the last few months. Hopefully we'll get some new material up in the coming weeks. Check back or use the Contact AYTD page to request an e-mail when the site is updated.

The 2nd Annual Santa Barbara Zine Fest!

A celebration of the independent, small press publishers -- comics, zines and everything else in between.

Saturday, June 5th, 1999, 11am-6pm

Goleta Valley Community Center, 5679 Hollister Avenue, Goleta CA (15 minutes north from downtown SB - 5 minutes from the SB airport)

Lynne/Java Turtle and Ruel are busy planning workshops, film screenings, and lots of other goodies just for you.

This web site is designed strictly as a complement to the printed zine. Fans of the print version have no reason to fear, as the print version will remain the primary focus.

Here are some of the reasons why we decided to create an electronic version of AYTD:

  • It will let you easily communicate with AYTD, as well as other zines and zine-related resources.

  • It will allow us to provide the most current listing possible of upcoming events.

  • It will expose AYTD to people who aren't familiar with the printed version.

The AYTD web site is still new, and we're still experimenting with the design. If you have trouble viewing anything (or think something is terribly ugly), please let us know. By the same token, if there is something you really like on the site, let us know that, too. Use the Contact AYTD page for feedback.

Since the site will be undergoing many changes in the near future, you can join the AYTD web site mailing list. We'll use this to let readers know when major additions/changes are made to the site. This way you will find out right away when the calendar, cover gallery, photograph and review sections finally get some content! Simply e-mail the webmaster; you can leave the body blank.


"A great resource for serious zine readers."
Kelli Williams, MaximumRockNRoll

"The best review zine I've come across."
J. Rassoul, The J Man Times

"A handsome new zine-review zine, with luxuriously long and generally friendly reviews, and literate writing."
Doug Holland, Zine World
