I would hope that the latter is the case. I know that the one directly above is updated and taken care of often. It used to be an entirely different color and one day it disappeared and was soon returned in this new state. This one is actually different than a normal free box. There is usually a pad of paper, and pens and you can draw images and submit them into the slot at the top. Every now and then a zine will appear and all the submissions are published inside.

I fell in Love with eric by reading his zines. now he is writing a hi-fi sci-fi zine and one of the first articles i read was about a low-fi zine machine promoting some of the ideals that eric embodied when i first got to know him. i forgot about the utter delight i used to have reading your publications eric. i hadn't read any of this blog because it sounded like unimportant "fun" that i couldn't/didn't want to relate to(a time for everything, yes "fun" included, just not my time). plus, i often get fearful that people i care about have lost focus and are simply existing having some-how been siren-songed away from what Life really is. i avoid finding out what people are really doing so that i don't have to confront this fear. confronting this fear forces me to confront the fear that i to may be wasting time...i finally gave in and checked the bog out just because. after i read a few posts and thought for a while i remembered that it was what i saw in you through your self-published writings/drawings that cemented you in my heart. i saw glints and glimpses of that same person in these writings. i am going to pay more attention now. full circle.
