You know how when your friend gets back from a trip somewhere and they never shut the fuck up about it? “I had this beer, I don’t remember what it was called, but it was so good. You have to try it when you go there.” Reading travel zines resembles that endless tedium, in that they always come off a little braggy, a little bitchy, and a lot not interesting. The obvious difference being you have to sit through your friends filibustering on about how things are “so different there,” meanwhile zines didn’t buy you a beer last night and you can murder them if you so choose. I wouldn’t murder Bonuscupped, though. Besides the travel pieces, most of it was cheeky, radical, and readable. And it has an interview with Todd Taylor editor and publisher of Razorcake. –Andrew Flanagan (Bonuscupped HQHAHA!, 49 Fitzhammon Embankment, Cardif, CF11 6AN, England)
