We had the pleasure of being sat amongst <a href="http://www.tukrulovesyou.com/index.html">Tukru</a> of the Kent based zine distro - Vampire Sushi, <a href="http://www.eleanorjane.co.uk/">Girl Photographer</a> (aka Eleanor Jane) and the <a href="http://www.brightonzinefest.com/">Brighton Zine Fest Collective</a>: all absolute proffessionals and ol' timers at LZS, so it was great to be surrounded with such experts!<br /><br />Other highlights include <a href="http://lovetoprint.blogspot.com/">Love To Print/Girls Who Draw</a>, <a href="http://www.mpawson.demon.co.uk/">Mark Pawson</a>, <a href="http://www.shitbirthday.org/">Sh*t Birthday</a>, <a href="http://forestcafe.tumblr.com/">Forest Publishing</a>, <a href="http://www.belsartworld.com/">Bel's Art World</a> and of course, <a href="http://josielong.com/">Josie Long</a> who was there promoting her zine: Drawing Moustaches in Magazines Monthly, which you can dowload <a href="http://josielong.com/20071129/hiya/">here</a>, and also giving zine readings along with <a href="http://www.charlottecooper.net/">Charlotte Cooper</a>, <a href="http://www.morgenmuffel.co.uk/">Isy Morgenmuffel</a> and <a href="http://www.patrickstaff.co.uk/">Patrick Saff</a>.<br /><br />It was also great to catch up with <a href="http://www.myspace.com/feverzine">Fever Zine</a> who, despite an epic print fail, which was a giant shame, still managed to be there to help on the main zine table, and of course, shop! And speaking of shopping, I picked up some great little treats, and although I've had a quick flick through them all (I couldnt resist..!), I'll be saving the big read for my fast approaching flight to Canada. I'm starting to feel a little anxious about the 7 hour trip alone, and am collecting each every distraction I come across! Suggestions are most welcome!<br /><br />The main <a href="http://lazysoosan.blogspot.com/">Lazy Soosan</a> news from the day, was of course that we launched <b>2 new issues</b> to coincide with the symposium which made it a little bit more special, and was great to see such a great response to our now 7-strong collection of zines. More news will follow soon on that though!<br /><br />But yes, going back to the big day, we had such a great time, met some super people, discovered some perfect little zines and we're very much looking forward to next year!well.illbedarnedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02620132362659056734noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-152448848189734384.post-72180629131431210512010-05-01T17:21:00.000+01:002010-05-30T17:21:46.411+01:00Lazy Soosan @ Rummage!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4051/4575743881_7589b1f1e7_o.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 600px; height: 399px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4051/4575743881_7589b1f1e7_o.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />On Sunday, <a href="http://peasandneedles.blogspot.com">Lucy</a> and I took part in the first ever <a href="http://www.superette.co.uk/#rummage_illustrators">Rummage</a> at <a href="http://www.superette.co.uk/">Superette</a> organised by Leona Clarke of <a href="http://www.ladyluckrulesok.com/">Lady Luck Rules OK</a>.
