Did you know?

Did you know that July is also International Zine Month?

International Zine Month celebrates zines created all over the world. The event/site is run by Alex Wrekk of Brainscan zine. She posted this list of ideas to get in the International Zine Month spirit during July:

Set up a zine reading, a zine swap, a cut and paste party, a zine fest, or even a simple zine workshop at your local library or community center. Write a letter to every zine you read, leave your zine at random places around town like buses, bathrooms or universities. Order zines directly from the creator, make a shirt with iron on letters that says “ask me about zines”, make buttons with phrases like “zines saved my life” or “do you read zines”. Send out zine fliers with your mail or leave them around your town. Approach shops in your town about carrying zines, donate to zine libraries…..

There is also a Facebook page to keep up with all the International Zine Month updates.
