Street Ratbag No5
This anarchist magazine was founded by Rita Rodentia, Will Rat for Iraq, & RATical (yours truly, tENTATIVELY, a cONVENIENCE) in 1999E.V.. Will Rat & Rita had discussed creating it & Rita asked RATical if he wanted to be part of it. RATical had had substantial experience with publishing & wasn't really in any hurry to create yet-another project along these lines but Rita convinced him. Will Rat dropped out of the production end of things after the 1st issue but continued to provide the occasional RATicle.
In the long run, this was a fantastic publication & I'm sorry it didn't continue longer. As it was, there were 7 issues produced from June 1999 to June 2004. Of these, I'm particularly fond of the middle 5 issues. Fortunately for the impoverished editors, one of RATical's oldest friends, Brainpang, generously printed issues 2 through 5. Below is the issue in its entirety.
We also organized a release event for No5 at the Mattress Factory, a wonderful installation museum in Pittsburgh. The movie of that can be witnessed here: https://youtu.be/3hEepzUGkss .
