How to run a zine event

For 3 years I was part of the group that ran the Brighton Zine­fest. We star­ted just with the idea it would be fun to have a zine event in Brighton and managed to build a success­ful and fun event. Sadly we don’t run it any more because some of the origin­al organ­isers live in Brighton any more, the others were too busy, and nobody new appeared to take over, and so it just wasn’t prac­tic­al to hold anoth­er.

So’ton Zine & Craft Fair

Yester­day I went to the Southamp­ton Zine & Craft Fair. It’s a 2 day event, and I was supposed to be there for two days, but I came home last night in the end. The event was very small anyway, and the weath­er in Southamp­ton was atro­cious with torren­tial rain­storms and gale force winds, so there weren’t many people there. I felt pretty awful from being under the weath­er anyway, and stay­ing up too late the night before cutting zines and baking panda cakes with Vicky, so the thought of sleep­ing on the organiser’s floor after battling through rain didn’t appeal at all.
