    Issue 7 - December 2008

    Is there a better way to spend the dark, chilly winter evenings than hunkered down beside a warm hearth with a good read? Well, yes, probably, considering this is Phoenix and a couple of drops to the low thirties is the worst we'll likely see. So un-mothball that coat, get out and do whatever it is you do, but know that when you come home, hoozdo 7 will be curled up in front of the fireplace waiting for you. This time out we:

  • Hike the labyrinthine spaces of underground Phoenix
  • Contemplate the broken dream of John F. Long
  • Exclusively undertake the first Consumer Review of the Light Rail car - Ralph Nader watch out!
  • And lots more! hoozdo 7 comes on mistletoe-scented paper, so carry it in your purse or back-pocket for that instant-kissability moment.

    Issue 6 - September 2008

    The melted sidewalks having congealed once more and with the prospect of 6 months of scarily perfect weather around the corner, what more excuse do you need to get out, about, over, under, sideways, down in the City of the Flaming Bird. Let hoozdo be your guide as we:

  • Take Urban Hikes along the alleys of Camelback and the Vale of the Temple of Arcadia
  • In fierce anticipation of Light Rail, we hop a box car in Tempe
  • Stuff our faces à la Bluto at the Ranch Market
  • Swing in Suburbia

  • top the whole thing off with a free CD featuring: Colorstore, Turn Back, O Man (the Power of Positive Thinking), Sweetbleeders, Andrew Jackson Jihad, Courtney Marie Andrews, the Necronauts, Hexaclops, Fatigo, Mer (Merrily), Farewell Review, Sonorous, Larry the Lounge Lizard & the Low Life Bastards, Jon Rauhouse and Lonna Kelley.
