The second issue documenting Bay Area rave culture in 92-93
The first issue of Rhythmos was created by a rag-tag crew of friends who felt a deep connection to the Bay Area rave scene. There was excitement from the response of the first issue and momentum towards the next. My life was becoming very full at that time—a new job, a new home, a new relationship. The second issue was nearly finished, but was never published to the disappointment of many who believed in the project.
I recently unearthed a 3/4 complete layout for the second issue in an ancient version of Quark Express. Somehow I was able to open it—bravo to backwards compatibility. And who knew Quark was still around? The designs I found were surprisingly coherent, especially when compared to issue #1. After some wrangling and font swapping, issue #2 looked just about print ready. Why had I not completed the issue? Perhaps some contributors remember better than me. I know this moment in time was a tremendous moment of rapid change for me and it's possible I sabotaged the effort to avoid an expectation for #3. There were likely many reasons.
