  • From the Inbox

    Earlier this week I had received a parcel from Elouise of Smells Like Zines. Inside, was her latest zine “Dave is Hairy” and her brother, Bede’s zine, Random Pete.

    Zine Fair Photos

    Okay so I’ve been busy running around with Elmo for nearly a week, so posts were few and far between. Below are the photos I took during my time at the zine fair. I think I got most of the day and the tables there.

I helped out sticking things on walls and minding a merch table of zines on the opening night. Music by the Hobo DJs was okay. The opening speech made by Steve Townsen congratulating…

  • Flight

    So by the time I’m in the taxi, I realise I have forgotten my phone. I am less than a block away from my house, but I think, fuck it, I’m not going to ask this guy to turn around. I am horrendously late for my flight. I should have left half an hour ago.…

The zine launch will feature three zines from BeardedHobo (who has recently returned from Japan), Bianca Valentino (who I mentioned previously) and Matt Limmer (who I have never met). A portion…
