In case you missed the launch at the Audio Foundation hub this weekend, here are some photos. The exhibition runs the whole month though, so make sure you head along and read some zines from their expansive collection.
Many thanks to Ducklingmonster Futurian and the Audio Foundation for making this event happen.
Check out the Facebook event to tell your friends you are cool and you will see them there.

There is an upcoming opportunity at the next First Thursdays for you to sell your wares, if you so wish. There will be a mini zine market that we are currating in the La Gondola arcade, just outside Rebel Yell Gallery.
If you don’t know about First Thursdays or haven’t been to one yet, it is basically an evening around the K road area where some cool crafty/arty stuff gets put on (in the past there have been moveable art walls, face painting, craft market, dancing, music, DJs, etc etc). You can find the event on Facebook here or their website www.firstthursdays.co.nz
When we say mini market, we mean mini! There are very limited spaces available.
Details:
Thursday 03 March 2011
6pm – 9pm (pack in from about 5ish)
If you would like a stall, we need the following information from you:
Deadline to apply is by 5pm, Monday 21st February 2011.
We will notify successful stall holders by Thursday 24th February (1 week prior to the event).
Please note: successful applicants will be required to pay a $5 organisational fee.
Any other questions, please email akzinefest@gmail.com!
And pass this opportunity onto your self-publication loving friends!
Much love and happy thoughts,
Tessa and the team from Auckland Zinefest

At the First Thursdays relaunch last week we carved out our own little space for the Cross Street Zine Library, which hasn’t seen the light of day since Auckland Zinefest in August.
We themed it as a sort-of outdoors picnic style area (to make the space more inviting and comfortable), complete with patchwork tent, picnic blankets, and live soundscape provided by Stress Cadet. After all, this was in the Wine Cellar back alley area that kind-of resembles a bit of a concrete bunker (okay, it is pretty much a concrete bunker).
We had so much fun! Huge thank you’s to everyone who came along and got involved and/or had a good time. Also thanks to Cleo and K Road Business Association for putting on the event.

Tessa went down to Wellington Zinefest, and wrote a mini-review on our (friendly) competition over at her column for Sticky Institute. For the sake of not posting things twice, here’s the link:

But basically she is a fan-girl and say lots of nice things.

Just a few short weeks away, and we are super excited to see what this year will entail.
Stall holders will be hailing from Auckland, Christchurch, Taranaki, New Plymouth, Tasman, Dunedin and Melbourne, with Vanessa Berry (Laughter and the Sound of Teacups) making up the international guests. Kerry Anne Lee (Help! My Snowman’s Burning!) will also be making a special appearance, and we’re told that there will be at least two child participants (unconfirmed if Bryce’s super cute daughter will have another zine to purchase)… so be sure to anticipate a bit of a cute-fest as well.
Official sponsor of this year’s event is once again the Wellington Cities Public Libraries – so if you make a zine but don’t have a stall, be sure to take a copy along anyway cos they’ll be sure to snap it up for their zine collection.
