A Day In The Air

A Day In The Air

A Day In The Air (also known as adita) is a sporadically published personal zine. The first issue was released in April, 1998 in Iowa City, Iowa. Geographically, the zine has been most strongly connected with its town of origin as well as Glenview, the North Shore, Chicagoland, Chicago proper, and the Midwest. "Zeronary" refers to the unique numbering system developed for the zine. Technically, a "zeronary numeral system" is a base-1 system of numbering, identical to a unary numeral system, except that a sequence of zeros (0, 00, 000...) is used instead of tally marks. Arabic numbers were later substituted for simplicity. Zeronary reflected the zine's content which many times amounted to philosophical ramblings about "nothing." The zine is consistently published in a quarter-sized format except when the zine is packaged with an accompanying compact disk compilation. Issues 10, 13, and 15 are the "comp" issues. Adita #7, "automatic", was named "Zine of the Month" in the February, 2000 issue of Maximum RocknRoll. The first CD compilation was included with #10. The most recent issue is "mazes", #17. Adita has been collected at numerous zine archives including; Salt Lake City Public Library, Denver Zine Archive, the Chicago Underground Library, and the Special Collections Departments at both DePaul University and the University of Iowa.

Features

Adita has a number of semi-regular features. A comic called "Captain Proscrastination" appeared a number of times. Poetry and writing accompanies photographic, drawn, or appropriated art. Interviews are fairly common. Adita has featured a number of musicians, artists, performers, and personalities including: Mia Park (host of the CAN-TV public access dance-rock show, Chic-a-Go-Go), The Faint, Rodney Mullen, Seven Days of Samsara, Fall Out Boy, William Elliott Whitmore, Ten Grand, Jenny Choi, and Thax Douglas.
