Zine Reading!

Canzine!

OOOO.... I had the fun at canzine. I spent most of the time sitting at my own distro table (look mum!) and felt that I left the confines of the table I would end up spending money that I don't have. I did leave the table and I get some really cool stuff. I got the new Yard Sale! from the creator Harley you can see his stuff at his etsy store.  I found a zine all about dead pro-wrestlers, very cool! I ran into an comic drawing friend from Hamilton, Josh Rosen who donated some of his work to the library.  I got a few other this there, like way too many arty postcards and some other neat zines that I plan on reviewing here on this blog. yeah! oh and BP gave away little paper bags at the door filled with flyers, and stickers, and buttons. The one price of advertising material that most folks found strange and kinda dumb was a shoe horn..... OMG I have been wanting one for such a long time!

ACT Dinner!

The Arrow Archive was invited to table at the 9th annual Anti-Colonial Thanksgiving Dinner. So we will be there with info about the library and and a box of free zines for folks to dig through. 
The Dinner is on Friday Oct 18th Guelph Youth Music Center 75 Cardigan St. at 5:30

If you don't know about the ACT dinner here is some info from their Face Book Page:

The ACT dinner brings together native and non-native people to share food, stories and deepen a political analysis of Canada’s ongoing legacy of genocide and exploitation of Indigenous people and the land. The dinner hopes to serve as a venue where attendees can continue to explore the life long process of decolonization on an individual basis, in the relationships we share and this land base known as Guelph.

Zine Fairs!

In my internet stumbling I discovered a pretty rad event that is gonna be happening in Toronto on October19th Toronto Queer Zine Fair! From reading on their web site they are trying to pull together a pretty rad, inclusive, accessible event. If you are in the area and wanna do more then just attend, they are looking for volunteers and if you identify as a queer zinester you could apply for a table. Check it out!

The following day October 20th is Canzine. Canzine is a huge, overwhelming, you'll spend way too much money, might, maybe find some cool shit, not so inclusive event. Check it out too but don't say I didn't warn you.

Bunny Ears Distro

I have been hunting around for Audio zines do get for the zine library and I found Bunny Ears Distro on bandcamp.  Billy at Bunny Ears posts recordings of folks reading from their zines. So no actual  audio zines I can order for the library, but folks can stream or download zine readings for listening pleasure!

Audio Zines!

We need your Audio zines!

New Sections!

While inputting some new zines into the library catalog I decided to make a few new sections. In the media box you will find, DIY released DVDs, audio zines, and spoken word recordings, there isn't much in there right now but we are hoping to fill that box up with good stuff soon. The next two new boxes come from the Lit zine section. I decided that of the four boxes labeled lit zines I could be a little more specific. So I picked out all the poetry zines and all the fiction and short story (story time) zines and gave them their own boxes. Enjoy!

Kazoo! Print Fest

Here are a few things that we picked up at the kazoo print fest, there where a few zinesters that sat among the print makers and a few print makers that had made zines, but wayyyy out of my price range. Just beautiful work though. Static Zine from Toronto was there, Stubbs Press was there in full force and even Keenan a returned from MTL with his Pro Can Comix!
