by Ayun Halliday
New York zinester Ayun Halliday takes her son Milo to Boraomale, Italy for a weeklong music retreat with 9 other teenagers. Along the way, Hilliday grapples with her inner demons (aptly named “Bitchmother” and “Animal Mother”), uncooperative iPhones, and bonding with her seventeen year-old. Halliday’s misadventures only increase once she and Milo arrive at “le Stanze della Musica.” In Boraomale, Halliday must contend with the likes of teaching veganism to their Italian hosts, public dancing to The Pretenders, and a portrait of John Cleeve Green. Littered with small comics and hilarious tangents, The East Village Inky returns after a year-long hiatus in full, charming glory.

by Jolie Noggle
Issue #32 of The Escape Artist is quick & fulfilling read. I enjoy reading about Jolie's visits to comedy clubs to see some of her favorite comedians. I've never been to a comedy show, so it's cool to read about her experience, the comedians, and the different venues. She writes about seeing David Attell and Tom Segura when they passed through Ohio.
In rare fashion, Jolie writes about racism and a recent online incident where something she made was called out by some folks and how it made Jolie feel.
Also, there are TWO rad coloring pages of Margaret Cho and Amy Schumer - super fun.

David has hooked me again with his storytelling. I now want to visit Brussels, walk until my feet scream, and photograph everything. He writes about taking a second trip to Brussels with his wife, his favorite bars in Bruges, breweries in Bruges, and even foods to try!
He reviews The Beer Geek's Handbook: Living a Life Ruled by Beer and Cookies and Beer: Bake, Pair, Enjoy. Included are reviews of vintage beers and pumpkin beers. My favorite part of the zine is the piece about visiting Grand Marais, Michigan, and the Lake Superior Brewing Company.
