Feel free to contact me any time regarding your personal zine projects, or the zine library. We have been working on cataloging all the zines in the zine library. We will be doing this intermittently for the rest of the year. If you have a laptop and are interested in helping with this project, please le me know and i will let you know when we will be there next. For everyone else, please go and check out the zine library sometime soon (In the room with all the plants int he library). We have redone all the signage and are very proud of it. There is also a guestbook now! So check that out too!<br /><br />We will have at least one more metting in a few weeks. I have had to get another job because just liek everyone else I am super poor. So my time is really really limited for the rest of the year, but we'll figure somehting out.<br /><br />Good luck with the tail end of the semester, friends! Make a tiny zine if you g et a chance!<br /><br />Take care!<br /><br />Jen and TheaSheridan Self Publishershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03734101992184698603noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961443895873429232.post-19931835718811476182009-02-07T13:50:00.001-08:002009-02-07T13:50:17.516-08:00Less than a week til Gettazine!Hey everyone!<br /><br />Just a reminder that Gettazine is THIS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY! holy cow! that is so soon!<br /><br />Preparations are going extremely well.

We have a lot of new members. I know its hard to get everyone out to meetings but I'd say we've had a pretty successful beginning to the year.<br /><br />Cut and Paste party in September generated some energy within the group. And Our trip to Canzine was interesting to say the least.<br /><br />We have tons of zines made by group members now, thanks to our 2 week zine project! Congratulations to everyone who published their first zine this year :)<br /><br />Coming up we will begin work on On the Cusp #2, and preparations for Gettazine in February. <br /><br />If anyone is interested, we will be meeting in the zine library at 12 noon tomorrow for an hour or so to fix up the zine library, and discuss plans for Gettazine and next semesters schedule for the Sheridan Self Publishers. Anyone who is interested is welcome to attend with their input.<br /><br />If I don't see you tomorrow, hopefully I will see you at our last meeting. We will have one more meeting before Christmas and then it is right into Gettazine, full force. <br /><br />Don't forget to sign up for the mailing list if you'd like to receive regular updates, or join our <a href="http://www.facebook.com/inbox/?ref=mb#/group.php?gid=8073815154&ref=nf">Facebook</a> group!Sheridan Self Publishershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03734101992184698603noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961443895873429232.post-91887246796989714212008-11-04T11:51:00.001-08:002008-11-04T11:51:31.917-08:00Next meeting!Hi everyone!<br /> <br />Our next meeting will be Monday November 10 at 6pm in room A137<br /> <br />Things to bring: <br />-your 10 strange and interesting photocopies<br />-small change to make more photocopies if you need to and buy zines<br />-your printed zine if you did it yourself<br />-scissors, glue, black and white media<br />-food and friends<br /> <br />We will be:<br />-getting updates on Canzine and the Toronto Small Press Fair<br />-Having a radical time making our collage zine<br />-Introduce our next zine project (On the Cusp #2) <br />-Beginning brainstorming for Gettazine<br />-trading/buying/ looking at each others 14 day zines!

Group zines, individual zines, field trips, guest speakers, zine fairs and MORE! I am very very excited and I hope you are too.<br /><br />I will tell you all about this upcoming year at our first meeting.<br /><br />The first meeting will be very informal, I am going to let you know what to expect over the semester, and then we are going to pour over all the many many donations we got for the zine library over the summe r(200-300, i think).<br /><br />This will give you a good introduction to what zines are, and hopefully get you all fired up for the year ahead.<br /><br />THE FIRST MEETING WILL BE MONDAY SEPTEMBER 8, 2008 at 4:00 pm in room A137.<br /><br />see you there!<br /><br />If you have any questions, email back or call me at 905-510-1963.<br /><br />Take care!<br /><br />JenSheridan Self Publishershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03734101992184698603noreply@blogger.com1
