Macaroon Shindig Zine: Vintage Pop-Punk Emo Music, 2000s

I found a stash of my old zines (which I sold on Etsy over a decade ago!) cleaning out my childhood bedroom. I published Macaroon Shindig for a decade, starting in 2000 and ending in 2010 when I moved to New York.

Zines will ship in a two-day Priority Mail in a flat-rate envelope. Please note that the USPS is experiencing significant delays, stemming from the ongoing global pandemic and as a result being underfunded and understaffed. After items ship, retrieving them in transit is out of my hands, and I do not provide refunds or exchanges as part of COVID-19 safe practices.

MS#2 was published circa 2002. It contains a record review (OK Go), a personal journal about snow (sorry), a complaint about consumerism and the War on Terror, a review of a defunct local pop station, a concert review of WHFS's Christmas concert (James Brown was a surprise guest!), and at least one list about what is strewn about my bedroom floor.

Macaroon Shindig #3 was published circa 2005. It has a black cover and black and white content. It includes overwrought essays (sorry), columns from my friends, letters from my mom, and music reviews (The Format, The Graduate, The Honorary Title, The Kings of Convenience, Minus the Bear, Motion City Soundtrack, and an article about Gatsby Get the Green Light.

Macaroon Shindig #4 was published circa 2005. They're quarter-sized with bright, solid covers. (Your cover may be red, blue, orange, green, or yellow. I can not guarantee the cover color.) The content is very clearly written by an 18-slash-19-year-old. (It also claims "I rarely consume alcohol," which was true then, but not now!) There are articles about Motion City Soundtrack, the Riot Before, and the Late Night, in addition to an interview with Henry Rollins, and some overwrought stuff about feelings.

Macaroon Shindig #6 was published circa 2007. A web address for my defunct Etsy is on the back. This issue features interviews with Olympia (conducted at DC's Rock and Roll Hotel), Anberlin, and the Graduate.
