Hey there zine friends! 👋 We're coming up on PPZF 2022, so we thought we'd re-introduce ourselves for all the new folx! There's only 2 of us running PPZF at the moment, so we appreciate the patience and enthusiasm you all have shown us every year! (If you'd like to join our volunteer organizer team, pls shoot us an email or come chat with us at the fest!) 📘📙📓 Jennifer Eltringham (she/her) uses zines in her work as a librarian, where she gets to talk to students about information, print culture, and why it all matters. She also takes every opportunity she can get to yell about the moon and possums, North America’s only native marsupial. She makes mostly perzines as @princess_soopers - she anticipates that her magnum opus will be a zine ode to chicken nuggets. 📘📙📓 Kels Choo / @kookookchoo (she/they) is originally from Hawai‘i, started making zines in college in Chicago, and has been a full-time independent artist in Colorado Springs since 2017. Kels works as a self-publisher of comics/illustration, and has been exhibiting at small press events for the past 9 years. Beyond comics, they enjoy eating good food, tending to their plants, and the company of animal friends. Their favorite zines are about creatures; real or mythical. 📘📙📓 * * * #PPZF2022 #PikesPeakZineFest2022 #PikesPeakZineFest #PPZF #ZineFest #Zines #Zinester #SmallPress #SelfPublishing #DIY #PrintIsNotDead #aboutme #aboutus #organizers https://www.instagram.com/p/CjBTolujk12/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Pada malam 27.04.2019, berlangsungnya satu gig bertemakan British Pop yang berlangsung di Dream Project Hall,Ipoh.Semuanya bertujuan untuk meraikan kedatangan band dari Kota Singa,Madman.5 Band memenuhi slot persembahan untuk gig kali ini,dari 9 malam hinga 12 Tengah malam.
SAHMURA
Pembuka kepada acara Madman, Band baru yang berasal dari Ipoh.Sahmura Band menghidangkan genre alternatif rock.Membuat ‘debut’ persembahan di Dream Project Hall, Sahmura kelihatan memberi satu persembahan yang baik dan agak Unik,dalam penyampaian lagu-lagu mereka.Harap kekal aktif bermula dari sini.

RADIOWAVE
Satu band tak asing di sekitar Ipoh dan kepada para pengiat muzik indie Ipoh.Selepas membuat persembahan pembukaan di Konsert 3 Suara di stadium Ipoh, kemudian ke Kuala Lumpur untuk jemputan persembahan di Zinefest, kini mereka kembali semula ke tempat asal.Radiowave sentiasa mengayakan penampilan yang unik dan lain dari lain semasa naik ke pentas, dan itu salah satu sebab besar kenapa penonton “baru” perlu berhenti dan melihat persembahan mereka.Dengan berlatar belakangkan gabungan irama 70′s disco,british pop, dan alternatif pop,Radiowave berjaya memecah kaku ‘’Crowd” semasa menyaksikan persembahan mereka.
*Radiowave akan mengeluarkan Material baru mereka tidak lama lagi, selepas Cabarate tahun lepas.Sama-sama nantikan~

MASQUERADER
Band berlatar belakangkan British Pop selain Bittersweet di sekitar ipoh,turut menyerikan lagi dalam Gig Madman. Mengayakan muzik Electro Brit, and electro ala-ala Kasabian, berjaya mencuri tumpuan kepada ‘crowd’ yang hadir.NYF tertarik pada dua lagu berbahasa melayu mereka, yang mungkin akan jadi satu lagu yang ‘’besar’’,jika dikomersialkan dalam industri Muzik indie Malaysia.Satu perbezaan dalam Masquerader, di posisi synth/keyboard diisi oleh wanita,untuk menggantikan keyboardist asal Masquerader yang sedang berehat.
MADMAN
Yang diraikan di Madchester, kumpulan muzik dari Singapura, sebelum ini dikenali Electro Velvet,pertama kalinya membuat persembahan di Ipoh. Dari segi gaya dan pakaian, Madman seperti bayangan Oasis,dari segi persembahan, ternyata Madman bukan ‘indah khabar dari rupa’’,ternyata Madman berjaya memberi persembahan yang cukup bertenaga, dan membuat keseluruhan ‘’crowd’’ pada malam itu tak berhenti bergerak dari mula hingga akhir persembahan mereka.Satu keunikan mereka,Di permulaan persembahan, vokalis mereka memakai topeng dari hoodie yang digayakan pada malam itu, telah mencuri tumpuan. Madman berjaya membawa penonton mereka mereka ke era 80-90an United kingdom.
UNDERCOVER DREAM CLUB
Fizan dan Heri, tapi kali ini bukan Bittersweet.Undercover Dream Club merupakan sebuah band projek Fizan dan Heri, yang bermula dari 2 bulan lepas.Undercover Dream Club menutup acara Madchester pada malam itu.Walaupun kesuntukan masa, UDC tetap berjaya memberi persembahan termasuk lagu dari mereka sendiri yang sangat baik. Mereka sempat mendendangkan lagu selingan dari Bittersweet- Hilang,sebagai buah tangan kepada ‘’crowd’’ pada malam itu.
*UNDERCOVER DREAM CLUB mempunyai sebuah lagu sendiri, tajuknya “Biarlah Mentari”
Si vous êtes nouveaux ici, Bobby Pins est un fanzine personnel dans lequel j’interviewe des activistes ou des artistes liés à la musique punk ou indépendante. J’y dessine aussi des chatons et j’y parle de tous mes problèmes. Le numéro 9 vient de sortir et le dixième est en préparation.
Bobby Pins est conçu uniquement à la colle, aux ciseaux et à la photocopieuse. Ne me parlez pas de photoshop (ni des Ramones mais ça c’est une autre histoire.)
Ça, c’est moi :
Les deux derniers numéros sont dispos par la poste (mon contact mail est dans la page Info), mais aussi dans les distros, fanzinothèques ou les disquaires près de chez vous.
J’ai récemment participé au tournage d’un documentaire sur le fanzinat, qui devrait sortir au mois d’octobre, vous pouvez avoir un aperçu du truc ici : www.fanzinat.fr . J’y ai parlé de mon amour pour les photocopieuses, de ma fâcheuse tendance à parler de moi et de l’intérêt de faire un fanzine plutôt que des vidéos sur internet. La plupart des plantes sur cette photo est morte.
Je ne serai pas présente au zinefest de Disparate à Bordeaux début juillet mais je serai vraisemblablement présente à l’université d’été du fanzine à Poitiers! Il y aura l’avant première du documentaire et plein de potes!
Je prévois également d’éditer une anthologie bientôt, mais je suis complètement perdue au niveau technique donc je recherche des contacts dans la sérigraphie, l’édition de bouquins, l’auto-édition... N’hésitez pas à me contacter. A bientôt et bel été à vous!
is it possible to buy signed copies of eir memoir online? or would signed copies only be available through meeting em at events?
( P.S. did i use the pronouns right? i’m not too familiar with them but sorry if i was incorrect with the usage. )
Usually I sell $1 signed book plate stickers on my etsy page, but I have it closed for the fall because I have so many conventions to prepare for. My publisher is including signed book plate stickers with the hardcover edition while supplies last- but I have very little way of knowing if they have run out yet or not so that's a bit of a gamble! Aside from those two places, I will be signing copies in person at these four upcoming events:
September 4, SF Zinefest at the Metreon, San Francisco, CA
September 17 and 18, Small Press Expo (SPX), Bethesda, MD
October 6-9 Cartoon Crossroads Columbus (CXC), Columbus, OH
October 22-23 Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo (MICE), Boston, MA
Thanks for your interest and you did great with the pronouns :)

Meet Shirley, She’s dedicating fifteen minutes to intense worrying. Afterwards, she’s going to eat a hot fudge sundae, say hello to a stranger and read a trashy romance novel instead of listening to the news. This original Goauche portrait is part of my “Ladies on Clipboards” series. She will cheerfully hang on your wall causing smiles, and then, when you need to take notes, or make a list, or write a poem, she will be there to help. 9”x12” Just listed on my Etsy shop: # mod portraits#clipboardart#goauche#goaucheportraits #zines #minizines#askyourgrandma#memoir#upcycleartist #etsyshopowner#vintagereseller#elisapetersondesign#illustration# illustratedmemoir#goaucheportraits#goauche##nanazines#Etsy.com#zinefest #zinesforsale #zines#orangedoorvintageetsy.com#nanazinesetsy.com#orangedoorcottageetsy.com#fanzine#instagood#artzine#graphicdesign#comics#zinestagram (at Fircrest, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO6QoTyjYy6/?igshid=6zx8mmxt64s
