Vision Temple Press Release (read it)
From: ac118@lafn.org (Matthew Carey)
Date: 29 Mar 1995
PRESS RELEASE
[ ] Redistribute [x] Hoard (This release is meant for
alt.journalism.gonzo and alt.slack only.)
From Vision Temple -- Tarzana, CA
VISION TEMPLE PREPARES NEW ALL-TEXT MAGAZINE.
(*** Three asterisks inside of parentheses denotes later additions to
this release.)
The Vision Temple publishing empire has risen from the ashes.
Our newest magazine called "Reject" will probably fail like the first
two. However, we WILL get at least one issue out, and probably by this
summer. (*** Or sooner. See the Production Schedule in my next post.)
Where previous VT publications have used mostly poetry and art, Reject
will focus almost entirely on prose writing. We're aiming for a Gonzo -
SubGenius flavor.
That is we're trying to make this a rabid opinion magazine for Yetinsyny,
disgruntled journalists, political extremists, social deviants and
writers who know with certainty, but have yet to come to terms with, the
fact that they will be relatively succesful one day -- WELL AFTER THEY'RE
DEAD.
So far, the following articles are on the paste-up boards:
Stark Fist Pog Found!!! (Includes picture.) By Reject staff
If Jesus Ever Met You, He'd Probably Spit In Your Face By Rev. Matthew
A. Carey
The Orange Grain System; First Light By RevMac
Corrections -- Bios from Meme Shot contributors By Reject staff
To the point now -- we're looking for submissions.
We need the following --
SubGenius Recipes. The more bizarre the better. Recipes that have
already been posted to alt.slack need to be submitted to me *by email* if
you want them to be considered.
General Writing. Fiction. Features. Rants. Things like that. Make
sure your submissions in this category are intense, interesting,
thought-provoking, funny or along those general lines. Length is irrelevant.
You can submit these kinds of articles in whole, in part (first page or
so) or in outline or summary form. (*** If it's short just mail the whole
thing.)
Advertisements. We'll be including an address list similar to the Other
Mutants section of the Stark Fist. If we have your address, you're going
in there, unless you specifically tell us to leave you out. If you want
to specify the wording of your listing, or insure that you get in the
list, please send us all the relevant details.
Send your submissions to ac118@lafn.org. Put the words "REJECT
SUBMISSION" in the subject line, in all caps so I don't miss it. Maybe
throw some asterisks in there for good measure.
Your mailing addresses will be collected after the magazine looks for
sure like it's going to happen.
One more thing: Only submit stuff you have already written. Previously
submitted/published materials are okay. Since I'm not paying anybody,
and I can't be certain of the success of this publication, I don't want
to have anyone putting a lot of work into writing something for me and
then have things fall to crap (like last time.)
If you have further ideas, let us know.
Oh, and don't mail me telling me that there's already a magazine called
"Reject." I don't even want to know about it.

Reject Magazine is ready!
From: ac118@lafn.org (Matthew Carey)
Date: 17 Apr 1995
Newsgroups: alt.journalism.gonzo,alt.slack
REJECT MAGAZINE RELEASED TODAY.
Okay, I've got a bunch of copies of the PREMIER ISSUE of Reject ready to
mail out.
It's a nice little magazine, I think. 36 pages (8 1/2" x 5 1/2".) Laid
out well. The type sizes are such that it's easy to read, yet full of
words. It did get screwed up a bit in the printing, because I printed it
myself.
Nevertheless, you also get some bonus items with the magazine, so it
rounds out to be worth more than $2, easily. YET THAT'S ALL IT COSTS.
Or you could send a good swap item, or a submission.
But whatever you do, do it today, because as of April 30, I'm going to
start the San Fernando Valley distribution and there'll be no more copies
to send in the mail.
I'll already posted what all is in the magazine itself. If you missed
that post, email me and I'll send you the info.
Or just send money and material goods to:

The Orange Grain Journal
From: ac118@lafn.org (Matthew Carey)
Date: 25 Apr 1995
If you don't have a copy of Reject Magazine yet, BOY ARE YOU LUCKY!!!
I just finished up the first issue of the Orange Grain Journal, and for
the rest of the month I'm including a FREE copy of it with every copy of
Reject I mail out. And you STILL get a FREE copy of "If Jesus Ever Met
You."
Sorry I've run out of Pope cards. And there's only 12 copies of Reject
left from the first batch. So ACT NOW!!!

Nenslo agrees: Yes, even the parts NOT written by me are VERY GOOD AND
INTERESTING. There is actually THOUGHT Involved in the writing of these
pieces, and thus thought involved in the READING of them. Having seen
more SHITTY, STUPID, LAME zines than you could build a cabin out of, I am
so relieved to ever get one that shows signs of intelligence. Plus
Reject's values are so RIGHTLY placed - the attention to content so far
outweighs the triviality of end-production that it actually looks like a
XEROX of ANOTHER magazine. The layout is fine and readable, but the
flavor of cheapness plus intellect makes Reject a gem. Again, having
seen a thousand PERFECTLY PRODUCED but UTTERLY EMPTY zines, Reject is a
winner in my book.

Stang, looking around to make sure he isn't being "uncool," jumps in. YEAH
MAN. REJECT is like a little piece of sanity you can carry around in your
pocket JUST IN CASE. Both the Orange Grain System and the Garlic High
Colonic having become necessary to SubGenius life in the late 20th
Century, this modest looking publication could well become the next BIBLE
or GILGAMESH. Well, maybe I wouldn't go that far, but it's certainly a
good start in that direction.

Vision Temple information.
From: ac118@lafn.org (Matthew Carey)
Date: 29 Apr 1995
A couple things from Vision Temple.
First, for some stupid reason, I'm writing a Vision Temple FAQ. The
"frequently asked questions" amount to one. That question is "what is it."
So complicated... You all probably have an *intuitive* understanding,
being Yeti and all, but still, there's the others.
At any rate, I've finished part one, "The Religious Facet." If you want
it, reply to this message.
Second, Diane Feinstein, one of them politician people (what is she these
days, a congressperson or something?) was calling today for a ban on all
BOOKS that have bomb recipes. Yes BOOKS. Yes, in AMERICA.
I just want to take this opportunity to remind you all that Vision Temple
specializes in redistributing banned reading material. In case of
emergency, send me that stuff. I'll see that it gets perpetuated,
whatever it is. Or at least I'll try.
And third, I don't think my posts are getting out, unless I send them to
the mail/news gateway. Again.
Oh, forget it. What else is new. If it's important I'll mail it out
this way.
Last, time's running short to take advantage of all my April-only Reject
specials. Let's review: 1$ off the cover price, free VP Pinkboy rant,
free Orange Grain Journal, free Pope Card (supplies are *very* limited
ACT NOW!!!) and whatever the latest thing I'm up to is, if anything.
Come on, two bucks, a stamp, an envelope -- there you go.. .put 'em all
together... that's it... see? EASY!! (ferners add a little extra cash,
or some nudie pix or something.)
(Note: This is not an ad. It's a generous offer.)
