A few notes:
This is not sanctioned by Pearl Jam, but inspired by them

******Please write in email that you give Trading Stories with the Leaves Fanzine permission to use your work.

******Please include the name you would like to appear in the contents listing of the fanzine. Is it your Synergy Board Name, your real name, a nickname, etc.

******Please complete and include the following sentence with your submissions:

This relates to VS because . . .

If more than the maximum number are submitted for a particular section then the submissions to be included will be picked out of a hat (except for the Big Wave section.) For instance, if more than 5 contributors submit items for the Leash section, then I will put 5 of the names in a hat, and notify those that did not get picked this time.

You can submit as many items as you want, but for fairness sake, only one item will appear from any contributor in each issue. If only 2 people submit recipes, but 30 people submit concert reviews, and one of the people who submitted a recipe also submitted a concert review, then that person’s recipe would be included, and not the concert review.

If you have any questions, please direct them to tradingstories2@yahoo.com.

i remember when i peeled the plastic off my vs. cassette and popped it in the toyota's crappy little stereo

I remember what time of day it was, what street i was on, and what shops lined the streets when i first heard "got a gun...n'fact i got two...that's ok, man cuz I love god"

Glorified Version of a Pellet Gun. Not very deep, but it'll do. Er... it did. Rather.

Soooooo, are you going to write a poem about it or what?

DopeBeastie

I need to. I wanted to write for Issue 1, but I got distracted, lol. Sorry . Love is a many splendored dog from hell :D:D

I will pull vs. out and get it all in my head and see what comes out. Being Enlightened told me (and passed me a link) to V1. I hope to check it out this weekend, too.

Are you writing these days Ms. Haiku? I do so miss your peaceful works.

I'm writing next to nothing except what's in my blogs. I like writing in my blogs, though. I've been knitting a lot recently, and I have to work on Christmas gifts, so not so much poetry. I'm trying to read more to get my brain thinking in those terms though. Yeah, love or life, what have you, definitely a distraction

Ms. Haiku

Artists/poets let's get a good showing, eh?

Submissions due in a month.

Ms. Haiku

2 more weeks. Lots of space left. A great space to show your art/words/and culinary masterpieces

I finally looked at the first issue today. It looks great!

Thanks! It's a team effort, though, you know. So many wonderful artists and writers, and the amazing job Dunkman did. I was truly amazed myself

Kushikushun

Ok, just send in my contribution to the Release section.

You should really get more attention for this effort ms Haiku. You have some great ideas for the different sections and probably need many contributions to fill the pages. Is this thread also on The Porch?

And I believe you are faster then "Deep" mag. ...

There's an understatement! Hardly any submissions so far.

Be loud, be proud, show your skill and enthusiasm!

Ms. Haiku

Deadline changed to May 31st. You can do it! C'mon show your stuff

A recipe for a popular orange flavoured soft drink.

Pour into 303.6ml of Water into container.
At this point it might just be easier to drink the water
and skip the following steps but if you must...

Add Carbon Dioxide Gas.

Now you have the Carbonated water.

Add the 34g (8 teaspoons) of sugar and stir until dissolved.

Add the orange juice from concentrate, 26.4ml, of it and add this to the container.
(For the American version of soft drink skip this step as it contains no orange fruit.)

The drink should now be a pale grey/orange colour.
To fix this add the Beta Carotine (E160a, a food colouring made from carrots)

You might notice that E160a isn't dissolving properly so add the stabilizers
gum arabic (E414, dried gum from sub-Saharan trees) and the guar gum
(E412, extract from the seed of guar shrub found in Pakistan and India)
and the E445 (solvent extraction of pure stump wood, wood resin)
and blend to try remedy this. The drink should also thicken at this point.


Your drink probably looks the part now but tastes, well, crap.

To give it a bit of twang add the citric acid (E330).

Now the kicker. Add the preservative sodium benzoate
(E211, sodium salt of benzoic acid, available commercially by chemical
synthesis from Benzoin a resin exuded by trees native to Asia).

This is both antibacterial and antifungal.
Also used as an antiseptic and to disguise the taste of poor quality food.
The taste of sodium benzoate cannot be detected by around 25 percent of the population, but for those who can taste the chemical, it tends to be perceived as sweet, salty, or sometimes bitter.
It is not reccommended for consumption by children.

Boil, blend, chill, serve with ice, whatever, just don't serve me any when I call round.

Actually, so that everything is in one place, please submit it to tradingstories2@yahoo.com under the mankind section. Also, if you submitted something already, please know that I will only accept one item per person. If you would prefer this over your other submission, please let me know. Also, include the usual: how you want your name to appear; that you give Trading Stories with the Leaves permission to use your work, and how it relates to Versus. If it doesn't relate, make something up

Thanks for the interest!

Braighni

Actually I'll stick with my original submission.

The recipe might suit another album perhaps.




Thanks
