Kidfest

Three people under the age of ten have now applied for stalls at Camden Zinefest. This is bemusing. Are their parents zinesters? Do their parents know about this? Do they know each other? How are they going to get there? It is a mystery.

Some things that have been going on

Cath reviewed xyz #2 at Spill The Zines. This is my second review ever, and I'm dancing around and grinning like a loon still two days later. Is that a normal reaction? If so, I might have to review more zines on this blog, so I can spread the love.

Right now I'm trying to figure out how to sell zines outside of zine fairs. I'm not very good at social networking, and I usually turn around and spit when someone mentions the word 'Esty', but I do now have a paypal that works. Would it be OK to just make a blog post where I list all my zines and then tell everyone where to paypal money to? I reckon if I put everything up for £1, it should cover things like stamps and paypal fees. Maybe. Just about. This sort of laissez faire attitude is why I'm going to be poor forever. Oh well.

In other news, I'm starting to think it's possible a distro is sneaking up on me. Friends keep handing me zines and asking if I'd be willing to sell/trade them for them. Which is... pretty much what a distro does, really.
