Why subscribe?

We’ve all got a DOOM Box—things we Didn’t Organize, Only Moved—that we’ve lugged around for years. DOOM Buffet curates a lifetime of obscure photographs, stories, news clips, postcards, Polaroids, name tags, ashtrays and other late-20th century ephemera begging to be digitized before the house burns down. From my First Communion kit, to dancing in a conga line with Sun Ra, hand tools of ingenious uses, my backstage pass for the Grateful Dead, the joys of setting things on fire, taking apart golf balls and mercury batteries and living to tell the tale, riding an elephant in the circus and more, you will regularly receive dispatches from the last truly analog age.
