Occupy Underground
http://www.occupy-underground.com/
Occupy Underground’s goal is to promote taking an interest in involving yourself in your community. We think if you want money to filter down to the people you need to just give it to them. Instead of going to McDonald’s or Chilli’s try a local eatery. Go see some local cheap or free shows instead of spending eighty bucks on a big concert. Support your local film makers by attending the IFC circuit. We use the website as a forum where we can connect you to underground artists and musicians you might not have found elsewhere. The greatest music out there isn’t usually the stuff on the radio. The best writers aren’t always found in the bookstore. Go out, see what’s going on and spend your money in your community.

Both new and established poets are welcome, but keep this in mind: this zine seeks high-quality, high-octane writing–two-fisted free verse that pulls no punches and takes no prisoners!

Hobo Camp Review
http://hobocampreview.blogspot.com/
A gathering place for the road-weary storyteller. Can you hear the highway? Can you smell the river? Sit a spell by the fire and tell us where you’ve been. We’re intersted in travel stories, Beat-ish poetry, something with a dark twist, and something that’ll make us laugh. Pretty much anything that sounds great read aloud beneath a railroad bridge at night.
