International Zine Month 2012! What are your plans?

[Alex Wrekk]

So, what are your plans?

I'm attending the Portland Zine Symposium 24 hour zine challenge in July 21!

[Aldiman Leonardo Cighra Ananta]

This july I publish the latest issue of my zine, BAGI BAGI. It all in Indonesian language, mostly handwritten, photocopied, with a thick cover paper.

Get it for Rp 2.000 or just trade with your zine or whatever(contact me first)

I make a free reading booth at a local music gigs. Of course it all...

[Alex Wrekk]

Hooray! The world needs more zine podcasts!

I'm sending out my zines to small distros, making new zines, starting a zine podcast (I was inspired by yours and Derek's, Alex, and also by Sarah and Sage's), contributing to a friend's new zine, and I don't know what else! Whee!  This is really fun.

Well, I'm pretty sure i'm going to a Valenzine's day letter writing part at Portland Button works. Maybe work on my zine.

How's every one doing on International Zine Month? Today is Valenzine's Day! Are you going to write to you zine crush?

#1: I decided to have a sale in my zine shop. All single issues are 50% off until 7/31. Just use code OFF50 at checkout!

#2: Tabling at the Philly Feminist Zine Fest next month! (Hey, I got approved in July, so that counts, right?)

#3: And, if things work out, I will be doing a 24 hour zine starting this upcoming Friday! Yeah, I said I was out of the game... but I live for this stuff.

zine month is OVER and i'm sad about it! i did so many awesome zine stuff things this month. 

i did a zine reading at wooden shoe (with taryn hipp and sarah rose! hi!) AND went to another zine reading of the bad zine, everyone's fault chicago kid's tour, and got to meet some zine pals in person for the first time, which ruled. 

i tabled at the dc zine fest and sold a buttload of zines, a new personal best.

i sent my zine to portland button works for consideration. 

i did my first ever 24 hour zine thing, and it's my first mini zine to boot. 

billy video reviewed my zine, which is awesome.

and i sent letters and care packages and mail art and free zines and more! 

i kind of wish every month was zine month.

[Alex Wrekk]

Hooray! Zine month was so fun! I'm totally open for suggestions for next year and  hope to do another activity poster with new fun things to do. Until then, keep up the zine work!

I finally made a new zine after five years!! That was my plan & I actually accomplished it!!
