Event Description

'YOU' is a free weekly, anonymous, paper zine from Melbourne. 'Pony For Now' is a free, monthly, paper zine from Canberra. The two zines have come together as part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival this year to produce a special split issue of both their zines. The zine is being launched at the Melbourne zine haven Sticky Institute.

Canberra, Australia. It's not all about the politics! Beneath that 1970's facade (and between the roundabouts) lies a cultural underbelly that Nat, zinester of 'Pony For Now - The Canberra Chronicles' has been cut and pasting about, on monthly basis since January 2012.

Melbourne, Australia. It's not all about the footy! Away from those big men in tight shorts lies a multitude of cultural laneways that Luke You, zinester of 'YOU' has been exploring on a pen-to-paper weekly basis since November 2001.

But take the zinesters out of their cultural comfort zones, entice them to a midway point between Melbourne and Canberra - by promising countyesque good times - the end result can only be described as paperlicious, revealing and smudgy. Having tackled the UK, scribbled up the glacier happenings of Greenland, cut and pasted on crazy paper sizes in Chile, conquered the mightly US of A and Canada, 'Pony For Now' and 'YOU' have joined olivetti/penmanship forces to craft a zine on their 24 hour stay in Ettamogah, NSW.
