About Me

"Writing these lines just for the sake of writing these lines , Nothing more." - Jackie Noire
GREETS : Heyza, My name is Stevyn aka IronFeather, I am 40, live alone, one kitty. I was born in the year of the Horse. I own a small used bookshop IRONFEATHER BOOKS (Bibliopolio To Siderenio Ftero) in Denver located at 4931 West 38th. Avenue, Denver, publish a zine and do a radio show on KGNU. Love to work on projects and network with others so drop me a line! My friend Rich describes me in one word: meek, this is how he said it, "I know lot's goes on behind the scenes but I still think of you as mellow but ardent in your beliefs. I believe the word for this is meek which has nothing to do with weak... it means strength tempered." I spent many of my favorite formative years as a barrista at both locations of Pennylane Coffeehouse in Boulder so if you made it there then we have probably met.IRON FEATHER JOURNAL : Yay! I finally did it! IFJ no. 18 is now finished and available and includes a free music CD. 64 pages on bookstock paper with a cardstock cover, 3 colors hand silk screen printed. Lots of unique and exciting content from artists around the world so grab one while you can. Inspired to work on another, due out in the fall.DENVER ZINE FEST : OK the 2nd annual Denver Zine Fest was amazing with 700 people showing up it gets bigger every year! We are planning the next one to happen spring summer of 2008. Help me spread the word: Add the Denver Zine Fest profile to your friends list here: myspace.com/denverzinefest2007LONDON ZINE FEST : Yeppers! Why not? We are organizing a zine fest to take place in London England in 2008, probably late 2008. Make contact now if interested. DRiP RADIO SHOW : I want to take the radio show up a notch and the way this can happen is for YOU to be involved. Can I interview you? Have you as a guest? Could you send me MP3s? Make me funny bits for me to play? Audio reports? Live call in? Don't by shy, it is tons of phun!DENVER RADIO DRAMA COMPANY :When I was a tiny boy I loved making radio skits & fake newscasts on my fathers reel to reel recorder with my silly brothers and now as an adult with computer gear and cool audio software and so many talented & silly friends I think we should bust out some productions for real radio play, join me at myspace.com/radioskitsPOSTCARDS : This is an open invitation to anyone on planet earth to send me a postcard and I will tack it to the wall in my bookshop and send you one back from Colorado or wherever I may be travelling.

Scott Peck A mighty pain to love it is,
And 'tis a pain that pain to miss;
But of all pains, the greatest pain
It is to love, but love in vain.
From Anacreon, vii. Gold. , Abraham Cowley
