I Can't, But You Should Really Go
LUNGFULL! MAGAZINE RELEASE GALA AND NEW NEW DEAL PARTY
Join us as we usher in the latest issue AND a new era of shantytowns decorated with the discarded blackberries of vanquished bankers, & the quaint but worthless wallets of laid off ad men.
At the event, pick up the latest issue of LUNGFULL!
-- perhaps the last which will be available for "money" -- next year bring a pair of shoes and some fried squirrel, someday you'll point to your copy of LUNGFULL and dazzle your kids with stories about paying for things with little plastic rectangles and pieces of paper.
200 pages of poems, fiction, rough drafts, art, world news reports, irate letters to the editor. A complete list down below.

Still reading this invitation?
Good, now that it's just the two of us, I can further invite you to hit the (relatively) TOTALLY NEW www.lungfull.org
• sneak preview of the upcoming issue.
• video for those too drunk/lazy to read
• explanation of why the crash is a good thing
• because LUNGFULL receives state money, full financial dislosure. Main sources of income: buying beer for teenagers at the bodega and stealing old people's medicine to resell to poets. Cost saving measures: eating coworker's lunch - just click on "budget" for more.
If lungfull.org won't run on your broke down computer, upgrading's never been easier now that looting is the new paypal. Pick up a new hi-def TV and homemade ice cream maker while you're out.
Some people came to New York to make a buck. Others to live a creatively fulfilled life. With no money left to be made, anyone left is either a chump or a creative genius. In either case, you'll feel right at home at the LUNGFULL! RELEASE GALA AND NEW NEW DEAL PARTY.
Hope to see you there my fellow bums & hobos.
