I did not realize this, but apparently one of the largest zine libraries in the country is located here in Denver, CO. They house a collection of over 20,000 zines, and it's a collection that's been made up over the years by donations from people all over the country.

They also accept donations of zines as well to this day. If you have any zines you would like archived somewhere safe for posterity, I would suggest sending a copy to them.

And your zines won't just sit on a shelf collecting dust. This is an actual library and locals are allowed to check out zines like you would any book from a traditional library.

This is just such a cool thing I learned today!

So you wanna be a punk? Read a zine. Drive around in your car with the windows rolled down, smoking cigarettes and screaming along with Clash songs. Or quit smoking, and get rid of your car, because those things are bad for you and the environment and they support evil corporations. Ride your bike everywhere, with Mischief Brew blaring through your headphones. Walk everywhere, listening to Against Me!, because walking is still honest. Shoplift from stores like Walmart and Barnes and Noble, then spend the little money you have supporting independent artists and small businesses. Sell your zines at a benefit party, give all the proceeds to Food Not Bombs or Planned Parenthood, even though you’re broke and can’t really afford to be giving zines away. Fuck it, scam copies from Office Max so you can keep giving copies away. Give one to the cute person with the mint-green mohawk you always see hangin’ downtown. Sew patches crookedly onto your hoodie, with dental floss, natch. Spend hours putting studs on your black denim jacket, even though half of them will wind up having the prongs bent to the point of being unusable and it feels like an exercise in futility. Wheat-paste posters or put up stickers or tag with Sharpie everywhere you go—political messages, song lyrics, surreal images, it doesn’t matter. Leave your mark. Go to a show and lose yourself in the music and the pit. Or stay out of the pit, ‘cause you’re just not into it; stand in the back clutching your beer and nodding your head and feeling like an asshole. Start a band, write some songs, never play any shows; figure out that no one in the band is as serious about it as you are and quit. Record a solo home demo of your songs, spend months getting it to sound just right—or at least as right as it can sound without a full band—and never let anyone hear it. Constantly say you’re dropping out of the punk scene, but never quite manage to do it. Tell people you’re so punk you hate punk. Say you’re gonna be a rude boy, like your dad. Watch punk films and read punk books and have them remind you of so much of your own life that you almost can’t breathe. Think about your life and your old friends, the ones who are dead, the ones you never talk to anymore, and the few that you’re still close to. Start to cry. Feel emo. Make a t-shirt that says: “Don’t call me emo. It makes me cry.” Call your friends, the ones who’ve stuck around. Go to the grocery store late at night. Make fun of articles in women’s magazines, because even though some of you are part of the right age group and gender to be their target demographic, their articles are so far outside of the realities of your lives that it’s hilarious. Write your own zine, about the reality of your life. Call your friends, the ones who’ve stuck around, get together at someone’s apartment. Make veggie nachos. Eat til you’re so full you can’t move. Talk about what you’re doing with your lives and feel like losers ‘cause none of you thought you’d still be so broke and pissed off when you reached this point. Feel shitty ‘cause being angry, old, and poor isn’t as cute as being angry, young, and poor. Be glad, despite it all, that you’re still alive, still hearing new music, still hanging out with friends. Flip off cops who are harassing teenagers for skateboarding or some other minor infraction. Realize that flipping off a cop won’t bring the system down, but doing it still feels pretty damn good. Throw an MDC record on your turntable when you get home; blast that shit. Go to a show, a party, a zine fest, a coffeeshop, see another punk. Go up and talk to them. They’ll turn out to be cool and you’ll have a new friend, or they’ll turn out to be assholes but hey, most punks are assholes. Still get crushes on every punk you see, despite that. Give no fucks about anything, except the things you really care about, like music and books and art and your friends and family and the state of the world and… Tattoo and pierce yourself and dye your hair and wear mismatched, dirty clothes because that’s how you feel comfortable, not because anyone else is telling you to. Try sometimes to look normal, in situations that call for it, and feel like a complete fraud the entire time, like everyone can tell you’re only pretending. Call other people posers, but don’t really mean it. Call yourself a poser, and claim the word with pride. Spend a night alone, tipsy from booze or jacked-up on caffeine—pick your poison—singing along to all the old songs and realizing that most of them still mean as much to you as they did half your life ago. Refuse to grow up. Realize that you’ve grown up despite your best efforts not to, and you have a job and bills and a family and/or other responsibilities, but that you’ve still got that spark, that match-struck, steel-toed, silver-studded, loud as fuck spark hanging out in your heart. Sometimes, that’s good enough.

kimchi welcomed me by hopping into my luggage. earlier this year, sometime in the spring, my little sister adopted a little brother for kimchi whom she named junie. both she and her girlfriend work from home and kimchi needed a companion while they were busy. coincidentally, kimchi shares a birthday with my twin and i and junie shares an april aries birthday with my little sister.

to thank my little sister for hosting me, i got her a print from sf zine fest from this creator which junie has ofc claimed as his own. she wants to frame more prints bc junie ripped all the previous posters off the walls that she had simply put up with blu-tack. at her recommendation, i also stopped by bake sum and bought pastries to share. junie is taking a sniff of their coconut mango mooncake which is one of the mooncakes in their set that's available for order. other things i fetched were the jasmine milk tea bun (mint green swirl), thai tea mochi bites, black sesame snickerdoodle and hojicha double chocolate cookies. the sesame snickerdoodle was chewier and idk if it had mochi or rice flour in it but it was reminiscent of that. the hojicha double chocolate was crunchier and reminded me of crinkle cookies that one usually sees around christmas.

trying really hard to convey how fucking hilarious this scene that happened today at the zine fest was but like, the fair was going on under a viaduct, so there were some wind currents every now and then, and the table i was sharing with my friends was on the edge of the "alley", so the wind hit us first? and since we were selling prints and stickers it got very annoying, so we had to place some rocks that we found around to act as paper weights so our stuff wouldn't fly away

at some point this girl (around 17-19 years old im guessing?) stopped by our table, and idk, maybe some previous customer moved one of the rocks from over a poster so i guess it wasn't clear that it was a paper weight, and she just picked up this rock with the most curious expression on her face and started idk, analyzing it?

she was eyeing this rock as if it held some profound mystery that she couldn't decipher, rolling it around her hand to look at it from all angles, then she would make eye contact with me with a questioning look on her face as if i also thought this rock was a mystery, why was it sitting so nonchalantly over this table, so displaced among prints and stickers? what was the meaning of this rock, was it contemporary art? was it decorative? was it also for sale?

then the girl's mom came over and she just showed the rock to her and said "look mom, a rock" and her mother was like "it's probably a paper weight" and then the girl, still looking confused, placed the rock back on our table, quickly looked around at our stuff and left with her mom.

meanwhile me & my friend who was sitting next to me were holding our laughter for a good 5 minutes (that's how much time this girl spent puzzled with that rock) and had the longest laughing fit once they left ldjfkdlfjkgld

#irl #bless you rock girl i hope you live a life with as much laughter as you have given me today

I've had such a good weekend. On Friday my partner and I went to a Gallery that showed a bunch of shirts, posters, pictures and more from a diy punk community run by a bunch of teenagers in Raleigh North Carolina in the 90's. It reminded me of the diy scene in my city a lot. There was a lot of Sonic youth stuff up. On Saturday we went to a queer/trans zine fest! I got a really cool zine and a couple of pins. One says t4t and the other one says tip your barista. I also met another Percy who makes really cool art! Later on we went to a little gallery that showed Providence hardcore history. I enjoyed seeing all the posters of bands that came through back in the day. Today we went to the RISD art museum. It's free on sundays which is pretty cool. I haven't been since 2020. It was really cool to see all the new stuff up. It was also nice to see the stuff that is always on display. I really enjoy the Greek statues and pottery. After that we got vegan chocolate cookies from our favorite bakery. I am very happy I got to do a bunch of fun stuff with my partner :)))) now I'm watching samurai champloo while my partner is playing too many bones with a friend.

Just got my Guardian Bingo card, so now I need to plan out what I'm doing and when (because I keep signing up for fanworks events that I don't actually have time for... I'm already committed to a zine and a Big Bang in other fandoms, and I'd like to produce something for at least one of the Torchwood Fan Fests this year too... arrrggghh where is the daylight in my schedule??).

At least if I do the travel posters I can count those for bingo as well, I think...

Why Zines Matter?

We must create a 'Printed Matter: 8 Fold A3 Poster Zine, Color Printed and Folded' for this Summative Assessment.

I've reached a stage in my design process where I'm overcomplicating my concepts and designs, and I've reached a point in my research where I'm wondering, Why Zines Matter? What is the point of all this research and design when you're laying up all this information?

“Culturally and historically, zines have served as a powerful outlet for content considered to be too niche, risqué, or outside of the mainstream, in terms of more traditional/commercial forms of publication. A zine can be produced with the simplest of tools, and easily distributed low-to-the ground, outside capitalistic or potentially oppressive systems: amongst friends; in local gathering places or homes; at fests designed to celebrate them!”

Reference: https://www.binderymke.com/what-is-a-zine

What I can draw from this is that zines are designed to provide a safe, expressive, and mash-up of creative self publication. Their modest, simple structure reveals their one-of-a-kind ability to speak creatively and loudly for even the most delicate voices.
