Hop A Plane (to yet another Tegan and Sara show)



1/2 sized, 40 pages, £1.

I love Tegan and Sara. I took a year off between school and university. Between August ‘07 - September ‘08 I saw Tegan and Sara play 27.5 times in 8/11 countries (depending on how you count).
I kept a diary for 22 of those shows.

This is the padded out version of that diary, complete with lovely pictures a… Continue

Who'd have thought it, I finally wrote a zine?!

Finished my first ever zine!

Hop A Plane (somewhere else)

Made for the 24 Hour Zine Thing 2009.

A travel zine of sorts about my gap year between school and university.
Some of the things I write about:
- Travelling around for a few weeks in Canada and then later in USA.
- Ramblings about several zine festivals including Canzine East, Hotel Canzine and Portland Zine Symposium.
- Random observations from my travels in North America.
- Thoughts on my increased intere… Continue

marching stars is 2 years old! Free mix cd with all orders in July!



www.marchingstars.co.uk

Hello there!

Wow, can't believe it's been 2 years already! And what a fantastic, amazing, incrediable 2 years it's been! I never dreamt when I opened marching stars with about 12 zines it would grow into what it has today. The last year has been difficult at university, but I was determined to prove everyone who said "all distros close when the owner goes to university… Continue

Biggest distro update ever! Still looking to trade zines for descriptions of them!

Biggest distro update ever I think!
Two things:
1) It's 1.15am, I've been updating for hours. The site will be riddled with mistakes - if you come across any, please let me know!
2) Still looking to trade zines for descriptions! I send you a zine for free and you send a description of it in return. All of the following are going to need them! Email me if you're interested: distro@marchingstars.co.uk

I want to stock new zines!

After an inspiring weekend at Ladyfest Manchester and a very seriously dented distro stock I have decided it is time for new zines, lots of them.

marching stars distro (www.marchingstars.co.uk) is a 16 month old UK based distro which has hopefully now proved it has staying power in these unstable distro times.

Zines that I choose to stock I am 110% behind and I so take seriously my role of helping to get zines out there in the world to the right people. Oh, and I freaking love tabling at event… Continue

hey there, your Hop a Plane zine sounds great- I love Tegan & Sara. :) Do you do trades?

Ah sorry, I may've confused you a little - this is "Zac", "I'm Not Lion" is my publishing name.

(I bought "how I learned to love myself..." the other week, it arrived today, I love it!)

Really!? Usually I have to go begging people to read my zine, it's lovely to have someone approach me :D

Anyway, if this is Lizzy: I already sent you it (I think...), it should arrive soon.

If not, would you like to trade or something?

Hi! This is Liz/Egg, right? This is the former Media Officer of the Women's Network :) I can just send you a copy of Losing Our Minds #1 if you'd like? I'm not charging for the zine yet as I'm not sure how good it is! Thanks for the interest though :)

Oh well, that's good news.
Actually it's "sacker" but it's close enough. I'm up to #6 now if you'd like some more?

All the best.

Hey, thanks for you comment and praise :) Actually yeah I was very involved with the Women's Campaign at Nottingham Uni! I left a little while ago though and don't really know what they're up to now. How did you make the link? Do you know other people there ? Small world I guess :)
