About

From a 2015 eBay seller: "The zine was published by the Albany/Capital City chapter of the Science Fiction Fan Federation and calls itself an unconventional publication of members of the group, but not an official clubzine. It appears to have been distributed alongside the Star Trek fanzine Keep on Trekkin'. Some of the material looks to be pretty off-the-wall. Fans converse about panels and presentations at conventions, postulate about the metaphysics of pulsars, and share what I assume to be satirical pieces featuring characters with names like Anal Roberts... These appear to be copies circulated at meetings or a convention, as there are no postage markings of send-to addresses where they should be."
