About this book

Melissa Ann announces that 2008 will be the year she puts herself out there, inviting change and newness into her life by reaching outside of her comfort zone more often. Airplane anxiety aside, she travels alone to San Luis Obispo, California to visit her friend Corrine; they go to In-and-Out, hang out at Avila Beach and sunbathe topless at Pirate Cove, go out drinking downtown, and watch a student operetta performance of “Die Fledermaus.” Once Melissa Ann gets back, she books a show for Tobi Vail’s band The Old Haunts, is interviewed by Hannah Neurotica for Zine Core Radio and votes in the Indiana Primary. She feels conflicted in having to choose between Obama and Hillary Clinton, second guessing her feminism as she raises criticisms of Clinton. Obsessing over her new favorite show Lost, she describes an exhibitionist sex dream starring herself, a stranger and Desmond from the show. Issue #11 ends with a Krysten Ritter interview focusing on her solo music project Ex Vivians and future film plans, alongside other interviews with her friends on their top five favorite albums. She’s So Very…#11 features a blue and orange collage by Meghan Weinstein on the cover and is binded with neon orange sewing thread. -- Claudia
