Yard Wide Yarns / Brush Your Teeth With Whiskey by Matthew Thompson
Yard Wide Yarns/Brush Your Teeth With Whiskey chronicles the trainhopping and hitchhiking adventures of two young women during the late 1990s. This is a split zine, so it's two for the price of one! Yard Wide Yarns #24 by Jessica Mills covers her honeymoon hopping trains through the Pacific Northwest and Canada. Told in a travel diary style, Jessica shares the highs and lows of punk shows, protests, and clandestine travel in the rain.
Xiola Bee’s Brush Your Teeth With Whiskey tells the tale of a young woman stranded in Memphis who lucks into a year of adventure after a chance meeting in the street. From Alabama to New Orleans, it’s a hot, sweaty escapade that’s sometimes romantic and always filthy.
Both zines feature shaky trains, wildlife sightings, drunken exploits, and so much more. Set in 1996 and 1999, both stories take place during the time of paper maps and chance meetups at bars, pay phones and AM radio. Live or relive the '90s vicariously through these one-of-a-kind stories from two badass women. Behind the Zines Distro calls it the "zine of the year."
