I was never much of a Phish fan before my girlfriend. My only real exposure to them was through South Park's depiction and the stoner cooks from my old job playing an occasional song.

PLAY(ed) BOY is a zine for the lovers, the ones of us who are, more often than not, better described by the term “heartbroken” than “heartbreaker.” It aspires to be simultaneously a safe space and a public one, to give the spotlight to vulnerability with the goal of subsequently creating community.
