Found the *perfect* price list holder for my first market of Spooky Season! 🎃

This 'Thing' even matches my Wednesday jacket! 🖤😍

Ipswich folks, if you're in town on Sunday, head to The Walk 12pm-4pm.

I'll be serving 3 zines for £10.

FUN FACT: 32 people shared their thoughts & theories on what destroyed Top of the Pops in my new zine.... but only one of them has appeared on TOTP.

Find out who CJ Wildheart blames inside 'Top of the Pops: A Zombie Whodunnit zine'.

All the zines I'll be bringing to London Anarchist Book Fair (Sat) & Grrrl Zine Fair (Sun).

Who am I seeing there? What zine(s) are you buying?

Not there? Most are also on Ko-Fi (a couple are zine fair exclusives!) ko-fi.com/exzineeditor...

Pop-crazed youngsters - you were amazing yesterday! Thank you for the excellent pub chat & for all the TOTP zine sales!

For anyone who missed a copy yesterday, they're still available online via my Bandcamp exzineeditor.bandcamp.com

(Ko-Fi is having a site wide outage tonight) #totp #chartmusic

Ah, you got the Bandcamp Friday deal a couple weeks back then @agarr45.bsky.social . You'll have to read the zine that goes with the hottest mess in the library badge next ko-fi.com/s/e9bdb0c7fe

Maybe if it goes to a second print run. Think I missed a trick by only doing an 'I Blame ITV'. A few people have pointed out there should've been a BBC varient too.

The Ex-Zine Editor @bubblegumzines.bsky.social · 26d

Might've *slightly* underestimated how fast these would go on merch... I've kept a few copies back for the pub afterwards though.

Find me later if you missed out at the merch.

4. Ko-Fi / Bandcamp

Not in Wetherspoons / King’s Place / King’s Cross generally today? The webstore is always open. You also get a free copy of the Spoons toilets zine with every full-size zine right now. (5/5) ko-fi.com/exzineeditor...

3. Housman’s Books

Alternatively, if you’d rather not be seen with a woman in a stupid jacket, you can pop over to @housmansbookshop.bsky.social , a mere stone’s throw away from King's Place on Caledonian Road, and pick up a copy of the TOTP zine under more civilized circumstances

2. Chart Music at Kings Place

If you’re coming to hear @chartmusictotp.bsky.social talk about Top of the Pops later, pick up a copy on the merch stand, or look for my stupid jacket in the pub (not Spoons, the Star of Kings) after.

1. In Wetherspoons

Bit of guerilla zine distribution in Spoons. Few sneaky copies of the ‘Men of Wetherspoons Loos’ mini-zine for lucky patrons to find in the menu holders.

It's gonna be a tall order to top the Wetherspoons toilets mini-zine I made last Zine Club using 2 copies of Spoons News.

But with a Sir Rod edition of Railway Modeller and a plan, I might just manage it....

Zine Club tonight ✂️

Who's ready to see what trainwreck collages I can create with this Rod Stewart themed edition of Railway Modeller magazine? 🤔

Last month's Zine Club creation in replies...

It'll be on the merch stand, or look for my silly billboard jacket in the pub after. See you Saturday

And for those who can't make it Saturday / don't want to be seen with a woman in a stupid jacket, the #totp zine is also available online. ko-fi.com/s/5d976aecba

The Ex-Zine Editor @bubblegumzines.bsky.social · 29d

Outfit for Saturday’s @chartmusictotp.bsky.social gig at London Pod Festival.

I’ll have copies of the ‘TOTP: A Zombie Whodunnit zine’ available, ft. bits from Chart Music’s @simonprice.bsky.social + Al Needham.

On the merch table, or look for my stupid jacket in the pub after.

* I am aware it's no longer 7.30 & I'm late to post this...

....but don't let my bad timing stop you grabbing a copy of the TOTP's zine this Bandcamp Friday while it comes with a free Wetherspoons Toilets supplement.

Bonus gifts for 12 more hrs 👉 exzineeditor.bandcamp.com
