hali issue 1

I had a two hour car ride ahead of me, as I was on my way to Detroit to go to a Blur concert. Now I don’t know about you, but I feel like I have to be entertained if I am riding in a car. if I am not I instantly fall asleep. So I gathered up a bunch of literature to read, including Wired Magazine, a zine called Electric Field Dance, and last but not least, HAILI.

For a while I flipped through Wired. Soaking up little tidbits of tech culture. I browsed through Electric Field Dance, which is an excellent crime zine. Full of step by step instruction and how to’s on scamming and basically any other illegal thing you want to know how to do, I recommend it. Anyway, I guess I should get to the point. Haili is more than I zine in my opinion. It in actuality is more I guess. It is 45 pages long, and is a small book. It is an inspiring first hand account of a girl named Alison who goes on tour with her band. They go all the way from one coast to another, living with kids along the way.

Alison does an excellent job of expressing what was running through her mind while spending weeks on the road with her friends. This story was very inspiring to me, it made me want to chuck everything and hit the road. I really recommend it if you have the chance of getting a hold of it. I got my copy from Simon who got it at Detroit Fest. You can mail her for a copy of your own though.
