Misprint vs. FunFunFunFest 2011

Sun, 29 Jan 2012 13:21:00 -0600

For the second year, Misprint has teamed up with our friends at Transmission Entertainment to create the official program for FunFunFunFest 2011. Its useful for knowing exactly when Danzig is playing or finding the portopottys or getting the 100% true Misprint facts regarding Slayer and how much they love Yogurt. Look for it in a pile of dirt somewhere at Auditorium Shores, or read it here.

Austin Facial Hair Club Benefit

Wed, 15 Sep 2010 13:25:56 -0500

Nothing like the magic combination of drag queens, hairy dudes, bears, cubs, and punk rock Abba cover bands for the purpose of sending Texan beardos to Norway. Naturally, its a benefit for Austin Facial Hair Club. Misprint staff will be on hand giving out schwag, probably doing shots and trying to avoid hearing too many Abba covers.

Latest news from Misprint HQ

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 22:17:00 -0500

Congratulations to us for doing this shit for five years! Fuck yeah! All those old crappy photocopied issues on the back of your toilet are worth a fortune in cold hard cash on eBay now. You’re welcome! Sell ‘em for emergency beer money.

Check out some photos from the Second Annual Jortacular/Five Year Anniversary Party at Shangri La. We had a killer time, thanks to everyone who sweated and got drunk with us, except for those fucking clowns. We’ve got your number, Bozos… watch your back. And a huge thanks to the Austin Facial Hair Club for that amazing BBQ and the Shangri La staff for being rad.

New issues are out on the streets. They’re full of hilarious words, highbrow dick jokes and solid tattoo ideas. Check them out at your favourite coffee shop or dive bar before they’re gone.

And even though we should have outgrown this years ago, there’s a lot of Misprint fun in the works. Watch this space for new issues and some cool events coming up.
