Some great bands in this issue and some wonderful memories. Yet as you know my goal is to bring in the Los Angeles Flipside Flipside narrative. My mission. As I find Flipside Fanzine things cut-up I reunite and make whole.
This is a good narrative and thanks to Pat and Ann it has a nice finish.
To D. Boon on his birthday one of the “cult’ov58.” He would be 66 today. Joy abounds and memories shared, I just try and be less clinging and more inclusive in the overwhelming love of our original punk rock wild people.

Title Flipside Collection
Click on image below to be taken to link.
The Flip Side Collection consists of ephemera related to Los Angeles’ Flip Side fanzine, including 20 stickers with seven different designs, business cards, a distribution letter and flyer, a Fanzine Nation letter, photocopy of an article by Jeff O’Neill in the Rio Hondo College publication El Paisano entitled “Punk Rock: The Sick Shall Inherit the Earth” from February 24, 1978, and the Summer 2012 issue (#45) of Colorado’s Dagger fanzine that contains an interview with Flip Side staffers Patrick DiPuccio and Holly Hudson [Holly Kowalewski, Holly Cornell]. Also included in the collection is a document created by donor DiPuccio describing the items in the collection at length. The Flip Side Collection provides a business context to the fanzine. Seen in a broader context, the collection highlights the do-it-yourself aesthetic of 1970s punk fanzines and illustrates their evolution into the new millennium.

To Bill Orlof (or 90s Flipside Staph)
I don’t hate you but your attacks on my posts are unnecessary. We both love Flipside Fanzine… and your time in the nineties was different than mine. Al and my relationship, our marriage, was not an easy one. Yet he went on without me. I did not abandon ship… but wanting to have children and punk rock just did not work out for Al and me. I left Flipside with what I came … myself. Even though I owned half of the business. I gave it up for Flipside and Al.
We made peace with each other years ago. And any animosity of that time is not real. I am just trying to unite Flipside’s material as a whole. I find so many things cut up on the internet. So, I think I have reached a place where I have created enough about Los Angeles Flipside Fanzine, a film Los Angeles Flipside Fanzine the Narrative Documentary / Film. Epeisodion One, TWO and THREE about the real creation Flipside Story, My book My Punkalullaby and a sweet paperback edition replica (my dream come true) of the ten-year anniversary issue # 54.
I hope someday to find a book or two about Flipside Fanzine and the nineties. I will not touch that time frame. The only time given to that was in the documentary-film when my dear friend Tony Reflex speaks of the demise of Flipside. 10 years after I was long gone, but a story I wish someone would tell clearly and with a good heart.
Peace,
Hudley
