We’re going to be getting a lot of up-to-the-minute posts on this subject, and here’s the first:
SPACE SQUID ISSUE SEVEN HAS GONE TO PRESS!
Here is the very first copy to be assembled, stapled, and folded.
Once again, we’ve hit our deadline without violating our long-standing requirement that no-one pull an all-nighter (although there were definitely some late-nights).
In case you were ever wondering just how skeezy a zine this is, here’s the issue printing on Sanjay2, my closet photocopier.
Thanks to Dave and his constant, vigilant scouring of freecycle and craigslist, we have a free photocopier and about four boxes of precious legal-sized paper. Once the entire 1500 run issue is printed up (which will take several more nights of folding and stapling while watching movies), we will have several boxes worth of stapled, hardcopy zines.
After watching Rock and Roll High School and The Monster Squad and parts of Saturn 3, we now have 400 finished zines, which I will be releasing at the Staple zine expo in a few minutes.
Watch this space for more updates, including the table of contents, a report from Staple, and Space Squid censoring itself.
