He has reviewed almost all of the diners in his hometown, compiled recipes for domestic breakfast enthusiasts, and offered a forum for like-minded gourmands to rave about their favorite local eateries and chain restaurants. That has no doubt helped him secure relatively high circulation for a new zine, but Voelz has no intention of distributing the zine through mainstream channels such as Borders and Tower stores just yet, despite offers from large retailers. For now, the graduate student, part-time physicist, and jazz musician prefers to keep the zine a hobby. We actually made some money from that, so I'm not too far behind. The zine is already going in the direction that I want it to go, and that direction is discussion.

And that fuels this chain reaction of new members to the cult of breakfast. In that sense, I hope it will be self-propelling at some point.

So, the more people I get on board, the cooler the zine can be.
