labor.jpgAfter months of labour, hoozdo #3 is now available — and it’s a masterpiece! Special thanks goes out to our contributors who, without promise of pay or fame or sexual favors, worked so hard to air their dirty and downright bizarre thoughts in the pollution infused winds of the Phoenix cityscape.

While we’ve peppered issues througout the central Phoenix coffee shops, restaurants, arthouses and pubs, a bulk of hoozdo has been distributed at the following fine, and always supportive, establishments:

If you can’t get a copy at any of these places but really want to get your grubby little hands on one, go to hoozdo.org to find out how.

We’re always looking for new contributors. Photography, writing, doodles, cat juggling — anything. No experience required! Click HERE for more information.

Vain, but brutally honest with it

So I’m driving along Scottsdale Rd, near Thunderbird and the road looks like an obstacle course on the moon as a new drainage system is currently being ploughed-in. As I weave my way around the cones at a conservative 25 mph, a black pick-up truck barrels past me in the other ‘lane’ at around 45, riding roughshod over the bumps and potholes as if on a practice run for a monster truck rally, its tires sending dirt and rocks spewing into the ether.

As it hurtles up the road, I spot a contraption in the back of the truck - it’s a black wheelchair connected to a black hydraulic lifting device.

My eyes wander down as the truck disappears into a cloud of dust and I notice the vanity plate: ‘CNTWALK’.

No buddy, but you can sure drive!
