We'll let you know when it's out.

In Athens, Bobby B told me he had talked to Jani about this issue. I ordered a copy and got it a couple of days ago. It wasn't cheap, but it's very well done--very nice layout and feel, and a thoroughly eclectic focus. And somehow Aki's ass made another appearance :-)--clothed this time, thank goodness.

Thanks to the "redacteurs" for including me too, and to Farid for providing the photo and making me look more stylish than I really am.

From Naphte #1.1:
"What is NAPHTE exactly? Since you asked, it's liquid bitumen: a mixture of natural hydrocarbons, a gas sometimes used for fireworks, a degreaser, a fuel."

"Naptha" in these parts.

Oh, it'll dissolve most bushings and wheels.

Naphte?

Funny,

The definition of "Naphte" sounds alot like what we call "Apple Liquor" here in the South. But "Moonshine" would probably be a lousy name for a magazine.....
