Share 'Do you feel like your the only one in upstate NY doing zines'

I've been doing zines for about 20 years now. The first few I didn't even know they were called zines at the time. I just felt it was important to share, network, & befriend others. I'm looking to know other zinsters in my area. Whats your story. Did you have anetwork? Did people think you were weird cuz you did zines too?
