All bout ... my paper zine

This is not (just) about vegan food but you can read about that too in my paper zine. In 1998 I started the paper zine Outspoken in Brazil and I'm still doing it (the next edition will be the #11). Now I decided to do the zine in English as well and this will be the #0. It is a hardcore zine and most of the articles and interviews are about hardcore, but I always try to have at least one article or one interview related to veganism. I became vegan going to hardcore shows and my way to say thanks is to continue promoting the veganism in the hardcore and trying to make the hardcore kids see that they have an option. This issue brings, among other things, an interview with John Joseph and his new book, Meat is For Pussies, and I hope that everybody - also outside the hardcore - will support the zine and get a copy of it.


If everything goes right it will be available at the gig (in Dublin) next Sunday and at the HUP on line store next week.

Meat is For Pussies - the book

I already posted here the first promo videos of John Joseph's new book, Meat is For Pussies, and the release will be on April 15th. Here's the new video:

Well, I'm a huge fan of him and I got in touch with him a couple of months ago and got an interview about the book for my paper zine, Ouspoken. I've been writing and editing this zine in Brazil since 1998 and now it will have its first edition also in English and I couldn't be more excited! I need to find some free time to finish the last details and print it, but it's almost done :)

PS. I am not an organized person, it was hard for me to admit it, but it's true. So, I missed the celebration of the 1st year anniversary of this blog (that was in fact in August of 2009). But I decided to celebrate now, 8 months later and I'm preparing my first give away!

"That's how you become a cro-mag!"

I saw two amazing videos at the blog After The Storm about the new John Joseph's new book "Meat Is For Pussies" and I need to share them with you. For those who don't know hardcore is really important to me and I love Cro-Mags.

It's really cool to see a man with 47 years old that is still on hardcore and that is still vegetarian. If these two things are important to you too, listen to what he has to say:
