🚂 tour is over! confirm your zine sign-up!
Hello there!
That’s a wrap on Spring ‘24 tour, which means it’s time for me to start shoveling coal into the zine production engine and kick off the zine’s long road down the tracks from my home to yours.
Before I do this, this is your last chance to check…

Click here to check your sign-up.
(Please do it! Click it! This is the first time I’ve used Google Forms, which allows you to go back and edit your response via your Google account. It also limits you to one response per account, so you can see if you’ve filled it out yet or not. Remember each zine requires a new sign-up, it’s not a subscription!)
Here’s what my next few weeks looks like:
Today & tomorrow: Finish up writing, data, other zine content
May 29: Finish zine layout and design
May 30: Send zine to print1
May 31–June 6: Prepare merch, improve my website, make Nugs playlists, print your addresses on envelopes, and other miscellaneous tasks (there’s never a shortage of tasks)
June 7: Zines arrive at my apartment
June 8-9: Stamping on cover art, number zines, and stuff envelopes with zines and stickers
June 10: Zines will start going out
June 21: Zines will finish going out
I’m stoked for you to get the zine in the mail! I’m learning more and more about what I want the zine to be each time, and I hope it’s the best one yet. (At the very least, at 16 pages, it’s the longest so far.)
As for supporting the zine, I’ll have donation options and the merch store accessible through the zine QR code. (I also sold sponsorships to some awesome folks who sell t-shirts in the lot and to small business owners within the zine community, to help me with the extra cost of working with a print shop and sending out at least 1600 zines.)

I’m switching from 100% made in my apartment to using a print shop to print and staple this time around! (I will still stamp on each cover art and number zines, but last time took simply too long and I had to either work with a print shop or limit the number of subscribers. I chose not to limit!) Someone in the zine community works at this shop, so we’re keeping it in the family, and they’ve been a huge help!
