QRD is a zine.

i started doing QRD in the fall of 1994 & the first issue came out on valentine's day 1995. i started it because i had too much time on my hands because i didn't have any friends & i wanted to avoid thinking & i thought there must be other people out there like me & maybe they'd like my zine & maybe they'd like me & external validation is very important to me.  maybe it worked & maybe it didn't, i don't know.  i guess some of the people who are my best friends now have come through it.  but i'd feel a lot better if i thought it was actually successful & appreciated instead of just me spending all my spare time & money on something that's a waste of everyone's time.  maybe it's just because i'm getting older & time is seeming a little harder to find & that things are seeming more & more static & to be expected & not exciting anymore.  i guess this is how things work the closer i get to recognizing reality.   QRD was most influenced as a zine by Whirlpool & 72 Jellybeans & a ton of horrible zines that showed me what i didn't want to do which probably don't exist anymore.  anyway, i hope you like what i've done.  unfortunately QRD has stopped being printed & will only be online from here on out.

this site was done with netscape & it probably looks best with a full screen.  Archives is all the timeless material from out of print issues of QRD & pretty much where to go to read everything we have.  Silber Records is a little label thing we do that so far has 40 releases, there's some MP3 links there.  zombie  kisses is a serial-story that is about me & my brother & is probably emotionally true if not actually true.  Lost Kisses is a comic about being lost in real life. tell all your friends about QRD....
