So what is Rated Rookie?
Everyone has a story, right? The Pakistani hot dog vendor is an ex-physicist fallen from grace. The mustachioed man on the plane once dined with a drunken Ronald Reagan. You laughed so hard at work one day you accidentally crapped yourself.
That is Rated Rookie. Pathos mixed with humor. Nonfiction trumping fiction. Failures, not successes. These are stories borne of vomit-strewn floors and lock-boxed secrets. It’s raw. It’s visceral. It’s your life. It’s our lives.
But mostly, Rated Rookie is a long-out-of-print zine collecting dust in our closet.
So pick up a few issues. At rock bottom prices. Then laugh.
