Absenses & News
If things have been quiet here, it’s because I have recently moved to a new place. Something with a lot more space and where I can slowly expand like the hoarder that I am. I can safely say that there is definitely enough room for my bookcase and desk now. There is one problem –…

Two Zine Fairs, One Day
It’s dark on the coach back. The most repeated question I’ve been asked today was “what was the turn out like?” This is what happens when there are two zine fairs on in one day. Once again the MCA was having a zine fair, where the indie publishing scene congregates and trades over plastic tables.…

MCA Zine Fair
Yesterday, I spent the day at the MCA which were running a zine fair. It was pretty packed and it was good to see a couple of people that I hadn’t seen since the last big one I visited, and of course, meet a few new faces. Also was the debut of Jeremy and Elouise’s…
