Scribd
Lattitude can now be found on Scribd, so check us out I guess. There's nothing you can't download here except older issues from now on I suppose. If anything, I guess it gets us a bit more coverage we wouldn't have otherwise. That's a good thing!
Ron Paul
Please invite all your friends, family, neighbors, anyone who likes Ron Paul (or liberty for that matter), wants to know more about him, or has never heard of him! Ron Paul will be in Bowling Green on Friday, May 16, at 2 p.m. to speak at the Bowling Green High School for a rally. Then he will be making his way to Louisville on Saturday, May 17, for a rally at the Louisville Palace Theater (1-4 p.m.).

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it out because I'm already taking off work to protest voting on May 20th. If you're interested in helping please contact me here.

I Love My Bike
Got the Sword rollin today - thanks to John Paul at FBM for getting me back on the road. This is the new FBM Sword fixed frame and it kicks ass. It's summer, go ride your bike!
Killing Horses and Happy Millionaires
Being in Louisville it's nearly impossible to escape the Kentucky Derby so while folding some laundry I flipped it on. I can only say that it seems like proof that these horses are not meant to be whipped and run around a track with a 100 pound asshole on their back when they go down mid-race with both front legs broken only to be euthanized* on the track.
Now there's a smiling David Novak on television talking about how great of a day it is. Fuck horse racing, Yum! brands and every piece of garbage out there supporting this so-called sport.
*Is this really a "humane" death considering the horse was literally run to it's death?
Damn Cars
My car was pronounced D.O.A. at the shop today. If anyone has a lead on a cheap ass 80's Volvo 240 or 740 I am in need of an automobile. Email me here.
Shitluck Clothing
Shitluck's birthday bash at Spinelli's is this Thursday (5/1/08). Go pick up the new issue of Lattitude, grab some stickers and punch Leland in the balls with us.
Number 6 Now Available
The popo were out in force in Louisville this morning. I couldn't get to a couple of local shops as there were gaggles of cops surrounding single individuals and blocking my path. I may be back around this afternoon. Good times.
If you're outside of Louisville without a local shop carrying Lattitude, just visit the Current Issue link and download the latest issue... or if you're feeling geneous, subscribe!
Number 6
Hot damn and hell yes. Number 6 is finished and off to the printers. Thanks to everyone that helped in getting yet another issue out the door.
New Distros
If anyone out there has a favorite bookstore, coffee shop, bike shop, record store or any other kind of congregating/hang out spot that doesn't carry Lattitude that you think would be a good place to pick one up - let us know. The best thing you could do is ask them to carry it and hopefully they'll contact us - which saves us time, but if need be, we'll take care of that too, just pass us their info.
email us at: info@lattitudezine.com
Shake, Rattle & Roll
Apparently there's a god, and he doesn't agree with not paying taxes... I woke up this morning to my windows rattling and the house shaking... WTF?! Oh, wait - that was nature knocking on the door. For those of you hiding in a padded cave, the Wabash Valley Seismic zone was struck by an earthquake this morning.
Click here for the USGS Web page on the earthquake.
Tax Procrastinators
For those of you waiting until the last minute to send those tax returns in, why not just hang onto it? This is your last chance to opt out of a system that has been screwing you over since the day you popped into this world. Why continue to support the system that doesn't support you?
Getting a return? I understand how you're feeling. If you must, send this one in, go to work tomorrow and fill out a new W2 (or whatever it is) and claim every exemption you can. Stop paying your Federal Income Tax, stop filing that return and stop supporting a government that rape, pillages and plunders the world over.
Merch!
I threw a Cafe Press store together this evening... click here for Lattitude merch. This is a great way for all you out there to help support the zine and get some clothing to cover your naked asses in.
Digg Lattitude
Check out the latest issue on Digg.com and help get Lattitude a bit more coverage.
Number 6
Issue number 6 is looking to be interesting to say the least. If anyone has anything they'd like to add get it in as this thing is filling up. Contribution deadline is April 18th. In other awesome Lattitude news we'll be heading up to New Hampshire for the Free State Project Porcfest in June and if it's as great as we've heard, we may not return... either way, Lattitude will continue from whatever part of the globe it's produced in. With that in mind show us some love and help in funding the next issue by donating, subscribing or advertising - don't be scared.
Flame throwers extinguished...
The Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot for this spring has been cancelled due to flooding - sucks. Looks like I'll be heading to the gun range this week to get the testosterone out of my system. I hear MP5's are available to rent at a local range.
Brick House safe - for the moment
We saved the Brick House! Not us as in Lattitude, us as in donors. For those who don't know, the Brick house is a local punk/anarchist/community center collectively run and sustained by donations and show revenue. Thanks to any of our readers who helped the cause.
However, they need ongoing help. Visit Brickhouse.cc for more information and see what you can do to assist in keeping a great program alive.
Actual site news...
As you can tell, we're ditching the dated format. If you're opposed - tell us!
We've noticed we have a fairly good sized visitor base from Europe and just want to say thinks for stopping by. Remember you can download the latest issue from the Current page and we've also added a European subscription option.
Speaking of subscribers, stickers are on the way so you will begin receiving those with your next issue, everyone else will have to try their luck at select distro sites.
Finally, please remember we can always use a little more financial help in getting each issue to press. Every little bit helps and is much appreciated. Every cent received is turned back around into printing and promotion for Lattitude. As always, thanks for reading!
Flame Throwers & Machine Guns!
Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot is coming up next weekend. I'll be wandering around with FSP literature and watching things get blown up. Should be a good time - how could it not though. Flame throwers, machine guns, helicopters and explosives, what more do you need?
