Australian zine tour of NZ

[Bastian Fox Phelan]

So, a few of us from Australia are thinking of coming to NZ for a zine tour. Would any of you guys be interested in helping us organise a reading or some kind of zine-related event? Right now it's more of a vague idea than an actual plan, but we're keen, and most of us have never been to New Zealand, and we would like to make new friends. If the Wellington zine fair is on again in November that would totally seal the deal!

Hello there. This sounds like a marvelous plan! I live in Welly so am not too sure of the Auckland Zinefest, but here is a link: http://akzinefest.blogspot.com/
However, I love the Welly Zinefest and think if a bunch of you guys could come that'd be sweet! Kylie Buck is the girl you want to talk too if you want in, if you need her email addy I'll send it to you. As it's a community thing it depends how much support the fest gets as to whether or not it happens this year. However, I'm totally convinced that it will be going for years to come (in some shape or form).
As far as help goes I don't know what I can do, but I'm usually up for anything...

Auckland zine fest looks sweet. However, it might conflict with the Adelaide tea party festival that Ianto Ware and others are doing (and perhaps I am attending). Have you heard any rumours about the Welly zine fest? Such as potential dates? It would be sweet if we had a couple months to get things together. Naturally we will want to make some noise about our tour! haha. Please send me Kylie's email, that would be very useful. And yes, any help (even if it is just reporting on zine-related activities in your city) would be most appreciated. And shall be rewarded in the form of posted zines & letters.
