Change of direction
You may have noticed my recent entries have been quite negative and critical, so I thought I’d write about some other stuff going on.
I am making my first ever zine called “Australian Rozie” (funny that)! I’ll be selling them at the MCA Zine Fair on Sunday 25 May 2008. I’ll be sharing a table with Aliza from work and Becky Jo & co. I’ve always wanted to make a zine, I used to pick them up when I was in high school and recently there has been a resurgence of zine making amongst people I know. So it’s a bit of a “perzine” - a personal zine where I’ll write about stuff I’m into and give worldly advice. Just like this blog I guess. The fun part is I get to design it myself, which is a change from work where I never get to chose my own layout, fonts or colours, there’s either a corporate style guide to follow or some art director tells me what to do. My zine will be all ME ME ME! 
Who knows if anyone will buy one, I don’t even know how much to sell it for. Hope to see some of you guys at the Zine Fair - it’s part of Sydney’s Writer’s Festival too.

Hey, I’d buy one. Might see if I can organize my mates for a big day out, as there’s a few things on that day. Eurovision Song Contest on that night! We could have a picnic in Botanical Gardens and make a day+night of it.
Maybe I should write an article for your zine? Or some bad Emo poetry?
PS: I’m coming to Reunion now. I’ve been convinced.
