Slight delays... Typically

Yo!

I've moved to Greece without any major fuck ups, however Crucial 'Zine #7 is delayed, as per usual. This time it's not because I'm lazy and haven't bothered, but because I've managed to fuck up my laptop with half a pint of water. The old beast works occasionally, but acts "drunk", so I've backed everything up until I get a new computer to finish everything up. I'll be setting up a really nice desktop that will allow me to finally play Call of Duty 2 (I have a bit of catching up to do) among things, and Duke Nukem Forever, most likely.

Issue #7 will feature:
- Some cool covers, courtesy of Sloosh, Pete (who did issue 4) and another couple surprises.
- Interviews with the Junk, Propagandhi (reprint from the vaults of sonicdice.com) and Panx Romana, if they get back to me in time
- Casey's sequel article on sneakers
- More guest ranting and quality reporting - by the kids, for the kids.
- A complete Arnie filmography
- A fuckton of reviews
- Maybe some more cool shit that I can't remember because I haven't been able to access all the files in a week

The idea was to get this issue ready for my final return to Cambridge in January, but thanks to Anglia Fucking Ruskin Fucking Univeristy, I now have a viva voce to deal with that I wasn't told about and on top of that they aren't telling me when they need me there. They tell me it will be within three months of them assigning examiners, which they don't know when will happen. So, as soon as I get my new computer sorted, I'll get the 'zine ready and start looking for cheap printers in Greece. Anybody in Athens with a hookup, get in touch and you'll be my best friend.

If you definitely want copies for your distro or whatever, let me know how many, because as this is basically a one-man operation, I can't afford printing shit-loads, nor can I afford mailing them out for free on the off-chance. So whilst the 'zine will still be free, I'd appreciate trading them with stuff I can review in upcoming issues, rather than charging for it.

The new shirts are virtually GONE. There's probably a dozen left in odd sizes, so let me know what size you want and when I get back to Cambridge, I'll tell you what sizes are left. Laters!
