This is what's going on at Once Upon A Distro!

No zinester interview for May - I'm hoping that extra swag and free shipping on orders over $30 will make it up to you. 

Additionally, I added a bunch of new buttons (a whole page of 'em), and a couple of new books!

New Zines, added today: List #15, Everyday Pants #1 & #2, Deafula #3, Homos In Herstory: 1920's Edition, Ice Cream Sandwich, It Came from the Sea and Went Back Again, and I Want my Baby. Lots of good stuff!

Restocking a couple of things this week as well. 

Added: Sub Rosa #6 and Dear Shane, I Tried to Kill Myself.

Back in Stock: How Fucking Romantic.

Sage is Once Upon A Distro's Zinester of the month. She was kind enough to answer some questions for me. Check it out!

I'll be in and out of town this week for Spring Break and Easter, so please be patient, and know that I will get your order out as soon as possible. 

Just in case you didn't specifically get an email, but want to take part: There is an organizer meeting for the 2012 Philly Zine Fest tomorrow in the basement of Wooden Shoe Books and Records (704 South Street) @ noon. (Please feel free to repost or alert interested parties.)

This meeting will specifically help decide on a date and divvy up committees (hopefully). If you're interested, but unable to attend, drop me a line with what you're interested in doing.…
