picking your brain

[maria_sputnik]

I made a wee zine out of my Georgia/Ossetia entries. Now I want people to read it. I am sending sample copies to "Learning to Leave a Paper Trail" and "Microcosm." Do any of y'all know other zine stores or zine distros who might carry it? I'm not trying to make money, I just want to spread my memes.

oooh, do you have your earlier zine available? now that I have an address, I'd like them all!

[maria_sputnik]

earlier zine? the last time i made a zine was, like, in the 1990s. maybe you mean "minicomic"?

either way, you are in the unique position to get copies live and in person, no?

[enmascarado]

I might've meant your minicomic. Minicomic and zine would both be great. I can also definitely pick them up in person, but I remember the minicomic and my being "I want it, but if you mail it to me, I won't get it because I'll be somewhere on the road and it will be in Amherst sitting alone and unread"

Brain Wave GO!

Shit, could I have a whole stack of them to leave around in strategic places on campus so people might read them and learn more about the world than what's on Gossip Girl?

until this moment i never noticed the monster-monstertreasure concordance

noooooooooooo, i am not going to be in new york on october 7th! i wish. i'm gonna be in southern oregon at that point.

for a while it looked like i was going to be taking my little sisters to the east coast (baltimore, boston, and vermont -- visiting colleges) in later october, but right now that plan's sketchy. are you living in vermont?

also, i want a copy of monsters #3! how can i get one? pre-order? distro? mystical ritual? i'm hoping by the end of the month i'll have a monster treasure digest #2 w/which to trade.

I know nothing of zines. However, could you tag those entries so I could link people to all of them? Like, one tag that only they had in common. It's good stuff but hard to share when it's multiple urls.

[maria_sputnik]

t....tag?

gosh, i never thought of that. okay, i'll tag them all "georgia zine."

I want a copy!

the IPRC has a "how to make a zine" thing with a list of distros. reading frenzy and guapo both sell and might have more ideas

[ohbusiness]

quimbys.com is a wonderful comic book store in chicago and they would sell it i know as fact.
and i would buy it and hold it to my face.

hold it to your BEARDED face

this is a good idea, thanks!
