and crucially, the 4-8 people cannot be famous in your field/hobby/whatever. they just have to be famous TO YOU.

#LRP reminding me of the time a friend and I, somehow, got around to wondering about Roland Barthes & "Stranglehold" and if Barthes--in my friend's words--"jammed it"

he died in 1980! maybe he did!!

Dmitri Shostakovich saw Jesus Christ Superstar! He also liked it so much he considered writing a rock music themed suite (like his earlier Jazz suites) but died soon after.

I've only done little local stuff in my area & honestly that's one thing I like about zine scenes: they reward hyper-local stay-at-home types 😄I've also appreciated that some events I've attended have made masking required or included mask-only hours.

been thinking about this since I first watched Enys Men, but I might actually do it 😅

this is a great write-up of actionable tips for organizing zinefests, and also captures some of what I've enjoyed about the zinefests I've been part of. zine-centric fairs have absolutely been my best experiences as an author & creator.
