Bento 19
David Levine & Kate Yule, Portland OR / kate@bentopress.com, david@bentopress.com / David wins a trip to Phuket, Thailand, and provides the template for this spiffy palm-sized fanzine: Amazing Race. First stop for our contestants, Singapore, which reads like paradise, especially its zoo. Then Phuket, not pronounced like it looks, which reads even more like paradise, especially that breakfast buffet. The editors ride an elephant and do all kinds of wonderful things and win the race; if we had been involved we would have probably dropped out and said "Phuket! I'll stay there!" Crazed fan fiction follows, then charming LOCs, and finally the news that David is about to retire. Is this a novel to supplement his "'Tk'tk'tk" we see pending?
