I’m not sure what to think of this zine. I gather the writer is or was a traveling type: train hopping, hitchhiking, working harvests, sleeping under bridges. All the People I’ve Peed With is made up of about thirty short rants about different people who have “left long-lasting impressions both good and bad” on the writer. The stories are very short. Some of them are sweet, most of them are sad (a lot of the people are dead), and quite a few of them are dark and upsetting. There’s a lot of physical and emotional abuse going on in these pages. Furthermore, the writer claims they were falsely outed as a narc (by one of the subjects in this zine, only referred to as “the biggest piece of shit”), resulting in endless harassment and the loss of all of their friends. I wish I knew more about the writer or even about the publication itself. I’m not even sure what the full title of the publication is. However, it is Part 2 of a series. The first part is called “Let me put my pants on.” The third part is called “Thread direction is for assholes,” if that helps. That’s about all there is. The printing is nice. The text is large, and it’s a quick read of about thirty minutes. If you find this somewhere, it’s worth reading. Best quote: “Never trust a junkie.
