zine fest--how many copies to bring?

I'm going to the San Francisco Zine Fest--my first--and I'm wondering how many copies of each issue people usually bring. I have three issues to trade/sell ($3), and I was thinking 30 copies of…Continue

Shards of Glass In Your Eye!
Hi, I'm Kari. My humor + random zine, which I started in 1995, is called Shards Of Glass In Your Eye! The first two issues were slap-dash one-nighters thrown together in fits of creative frustration. Each issue was a collection of jokes, poems, essays reflecting my half-baked adolescent political views, and absolutely nothing of consequence. Resurrected in 2010, Issues 3, 4, and 5 continue in that tradition. You won't learn how to manage your money. You won't be inspired to lose 20 pounds in 20 days. You won't read the trenchant political analysis of a Capitol Hill insider, or be gripped by the harrowing story of a rock-climbing quadruple amputee.
But you will get a couple of personalized psychic readings, and you'll find out what's not on the official Beverly Hills walking tour map. Grammar Nazis got you down? I've written a lecture to them on your behalf. Plus, there's diets for the desperate, celebrity sightings, a series of fond reminiscenses, and a couple of serious ones (like "In Defense of Thin Women") too. You even get a word search puzzle.
Shards Of Glass In Your Eye! is currently free for trade. Message me your address if you want a copy of Issue #3 ("Disco Ball Party Zine!") Issue #4 ("Sex Sells"), or Issue #5 ("Heart Attack").*
*I'm not entirely sure why I told you what is on the covers, because the covers have nothing to do with the content. It seemed like helpful information at the time. I do know for a fact, however, that Issue #4 has been specifically requested at least once because of the sexy people on the cover.

Continue Gigglebot: A Distro To Avoid
Posted on June 27, 2011 at 12:00pm 3 Comments 0 Likes
Business practices vary from culture to culture. In Japan, it's customary to bow towards a new client upon introduction. In India, leather briefcases are unacceptable. Likewise, the world of Gigglebot distro has business practices all its own.
A typical retail transaction is generally pretty simple: I give you money, you give me stuff. But at Gigglebot distro, the business customs are different. If you visit a foreign country for business, it's good to know their…

Hey Kari
I am completely cool with you using the comment and my name. Much love!
Rob
Kari,
Thanks so much for the compliments. I totally agree about the anti-rave hysteria & the grammar nazi rant. Of course, the anti-rave hype by this person (I'm at the library & away from your zine right now) is just one the tip of the propaganda ice-berg about 1 million "epidemics" and "crises" clamored about on the 6 O'Clock news and everywhere else.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd say I was in the 7 to 9 range as a standard English purist, but I totally agree it'd ridiculous & rude to put down people whose English may not be as good as mine, even to "gently correct them" is obnoxious. I'm very interested in English/language & I'm putting together some zine back issues for you with my thoughts about it (Don't worry, they're short). I joined the American Dialect Society listserv, but it's much too hard for me to navigate/get through, so I seldom try anymore. I'd love an APA on language/grammar/usage/semanitcs, but failing that, even a forum with a structure doesn't totally confuse me would be welcome. I've slowly developed some competence with Yahoo.
Anyway, I'll send you those zines. You can read and/or comment if you like to, no obligation.
