Yesterday, between 3pm and 8pm, we found ourselves sitting in the Degraves St Subway selling zines like there was no today.
I'd been collecting people's work since last October and spent the whole week putting together three brand new zines at once. After hours of aranging pages in photoshop, spending all my free periods in the library with the guillotine, and way too much time at officeworks, everything came together as we set up our table crammed full of zines, brown paper bags, buttons, stickers and posters.
All in all we sold over 50 zines, with only around 20 going to people we actually knew.
The leftover zines will be going to the Sticky Institute to be sold as well as a Newcastle zine store called Bird In The Hand. A few will also probably be sold around school.
Thanks to everyone that contributed, helped put them together, and came to keep us company in the subway. It was a great success!
Issues 3, 4 and 5 will be uploaded to the blog shortly :)
