Bri Zine's Blog (10)

i'm still catching up on actually getting copies of issue 13 out into the world (it will very soon be carried at marching stars distro & i've sent copies out for consideration to a few others as well), but i managed to finish a new issue in the meantime! Continue

yes, i've finally done it! nearly a year after issue 12 was released, i've finally completed another issue of "motor city kitty." it looks like this:

it's 32 pages, quarter-sized, all written on a typewriter. it's about summer romances, being queer, identity, self-love, goals and more. it's $1 within the US, $2 international (or… Continue

it's the first of october. fall has barely begun, but already it feels like winter.



i made a 24 hour zine in july. my new roommate and i worked on the challenge together, taking breaks to get dinner, go to a wet boxer party (we missed the actual wet boxers), and sit by the river and talk. i've only given out maybe MAYBE ten copies of that zine. it might even be less. i'm still not sure how i feel about it.



i've started writing a lot for a new issue, though, and am hoping i… Continue

the other day i finally got off my ass and mailed out eighteen packages of zines to awaiting traders/orderers (including folks from the mini zine swap here on we make zines) as well as just some friends, all of the motor city kitty club members, and a few distros. its taken so long due to being snowed in for about two weeks in january, broke til february, then totally busy due to djing twice a week, school, two jobs and a social life. and maybe a tiny bit of procrastination. i'd gotten some… Continue

i just finished a new issue of my zine, "motor city kitty" tonight! i know that seems really close to the release of #11, but that one was half-done in july, the second half in october and i just now printed it. though i finished #12 tonight, it probably won't get printed until mid-january due to my current financial status (unless i figure out the copy trick on campus!)



those participating in the mini zine folks swap will receive the first copies, as i made it for the swap. and… Continue

it took me about a month after completing motor city kitty #11 to finally go make copies of it. things have just been so busy. i don't know why i get so ambitious about zines when i know i'm not always gonna have the time to devote to them (probably because zines are true love.)



i know i owe some people trades, or zines for subscribers. here's the list of people i know i owe zines to. if you're not on it but believe you should be, let me know. sometimes i lose track of envelopes and… Continue

i went and got all caught up in life and school and my current relationship and friends and work and so on. but i'm still alive, and as always i owe some people zines cuz i'm an asshole and haven't copied mck #11 yet. i will soon...i promise.

the latest issue of my zine, motor city kitty, is all done! it was supposed to be a split zine but after waiting months for its counterpart to arrive, i got a little impatient and decided to publish it on its own. it includes some stuff on my personal queer identity, my first long(er) bike ride from kent to cleveland and back, abuse and some other topics. i will be sending it out to subscribers and some distros this week. if you'd like a copy, get in touch! its 32 pages, 1/4 sized and costs $2… Continue

First off, can I just say I am so friggin happy I finally got this thing to work? Because for about a month I got to read on LJ and myspace from everyone else how awesome We Make Zines is, and yet it wouldn't let me sign up/sign in. But yay! I'm finally here and lovin it!



Second, I'm slowly working on a food zine called "My Little Cookbook." Or at least I think thats gonna be the title. It was originally gonna be a food issue of my zine "Motor City Kitty" but then I decided I might… Continue
