Sorta.

Yes, this site has been neglected.

However, with tax season winding down some things have been swirling through my head especially in light of my current IRS “investigation” getting underway. As many know, I don’t pay taxes. At least all those that I can keep from paying. Due to this, the IRS has been making their presence known at my ex-wifes house… the address I used at my last employer a couple years ago. This even after I have left messages for the IRS rep on my case giving my current mailing address as 3175 South 2nd Street #387, Louisville, KY 40208 - is that so hard?

At any rate, neglect. I’m looking to get another issue together for print in the near future. If you’ve got any stories, essays or incoherent ramblings I want them. Email what ever you’ve got to jimmy@lattitudezine.com or drop something in the mail to: 3175 South 2nd Street #387, Louisville, KY 40208

In the mean time there’s a bike ride tomorrow, Saturday, April 11. The Fuck Gas “Posse on Broadway” - come have a beer, ride your bike and have some fun.

Some of the best bands in the history of Louisville’s punk, hardcore and metal music scene have come out of the south end of town. The South by South End festival (SXSE) seems like a celebration of this as well as having a line up of some great acts in its own right. I’ll be at this years festival tableing with all sorts of freebies for show goers as well as a couple items for purchase. Working on a shirt design that I’m pretty excited about.

SXSE happens Friday, April 24 & 25 at Shooters. Admission costs $7 for a one day pass or $10 for the 2 day pass. Sounds like a good deal for nearly 20 bands and a half dozen Louisville artists, this is something I’m looking forward to. Leland and I should be set up right next to each other so we may be having a festival of our own… hope to see some of you there.

Winter sucks - cold ass temperatures, grey skies and short days don’t exactly scream bike ride but what the hell do we care - we ride at night anyway and we own gloves and balaclavas! Come warm yourself up at On Your Left Cycles January 16th at 8pm for the Fuck Gas “We Don’t Give a Shit How Cold it is… Penguin Waddle.” We know you don’t want to be out there freezing your ass off for too long so seeing that January is the coldest month of the year on average here in Louisville, we’re making this one short.

Join us for an 8 mile loop starting and ending at On Your Left Cycles at 618 Baxter Avenue. You’ll also be able to enjoy some free hot coffee or even a cold beer kindly supplied by BBC - don’t be scared to bring your own though as the beer won’t last long. Finally, we’ll end the night with more freebies - a showing of the Mash SF video.

Support comes from Lattitude Zine, Shitluck Clothing, Liberty Tattoo & Art Parlor, On Your Left Cycles, Bluegrass Brewing Company and Urban Velo.
