I used to be on the borderlines of agnostic and atheist, and I was raised Buddhist, but this experience led me to God.

It's a very short zine, I hope it qualifies as one. You can read the PDF form here: The%20Incubus%20a%20testimony.pdf

At 2:03am on February 25, 2011, Stephanos said…: Oh aye, great fun, though knackering of course after having to pack away from teh gig the night before, probably got about 6hours sleep, not too bad I guess.

I saw a few people with blue hair, one of whom were used as "something blue" in the scavenger hunt. I haven't got the anthology yet as I have read all of the earlier comics online and bought the issues 2-10 anthology way back when. I did get issue #18 at the weekend though. and the new loserdom, lights go out, bonuscupped, on't road and a whole host of other zines; so a good day!

All the cakes were made by one person and she only had one hour of sleep on the friday night, then made soup for lunch and cooked for the bands dinner on saturday night, I have no idea where the energy came from but it certainly motivated the rest of us!

I'm hoping I'll be living back in England next year so I can get more involved in the organisation side of things. Oh, also whilst I'm busy typing away, I reviewed your zines and they're in issue #30 of zineworld, which just came out.

At 4:50am on February 23, 2011, Stephanos said…: So what was the best find and did you try any cake?!

At 4:49am on February 23, 2011, Stephanos said…: I was looking out for you but didn't see you...hmmm what day(s) were you there? Maybe you snuck in when I wasn't sitting at the front table!

At 1:48pm on February 21, 2011, Stephanos said…: Hey Kira, did you get to BZF?

At 4:09am on February 13, 2011, Catherine Elms said…: Awesome :) I'll inbox you my address :)

At 10:36am on December 21, 2010, Stephanos said…: They came yesterday and sat and read them all because I got off work early :D. Just #4 left, for some post dinner relaxation. I don't think a a comment posted via a textbox is a very good way to portray my opinions/reaction to them; so I guess I'd better get notepad out!

At 2:22am on December 18, 2010, Grace said…: Sounds great, Iv paypaled you :)

At 1:52pm on December 15, 2010, Stephanos said…: Cheers Kira, I'll let you know when they arrive...judging by the royal mail's performance so far this week I'll be lucky to get them before I head home for christmas!

At 1:14pm on December 8, 2010, Grace said…: Hi! I tried emailing you but I got a delivery status failure notification...

Exploring the Myth #4 and sounds really great and Id love to get a copy!
Im new to the world of zines and Iv only made one so far. I feel slightly bad asking for a trade because mine only has 14 pages, but its called Pretty Pussy! and is about pubic hair care and hygene and avoiding ingrows after shaving and stuff.... if you are interested I would love to trade, if not I would love to simply purchase a copy of Exploring the Myth #4.

At 4:42am on July 26, 2010, klose said…: Hi there!

I just wanted to check if the HP zine arrived a-okay? :S I received yours, and I enjoyed it very much (made for good reading on the train!) - thank you. :)

At 3:56am on June 27, 2010, klose said…: Hiya! I'd love to trade... #2 of Exploring the Myth is intriguing me in particular! If you email me your postal add at anarchy[at]gmail[dot]com, I can send out a copy of my the HP zine tomorrow morning itself! :)

At 6:44pm on June 22, 2010, Chelsea said…: I would still love to trade. However, I am moving soon so I can't really trade right now (w/ packing and change of address). As soon as I'm moved I'll let you know and we can trade! Thanks!

I've got 2 more issues of my zine done now (I think it was just the first issue of mine you traded for initially?) - let me know which you'd like, and please can you send me your address again too? Thanks! I'll PM you mine in a mo x
