It’s a festival! Of zines!

So what are you doing on Sat­ur­day the 8th? You’re head­ing down to the Wes­ley Church Hall on Tarana­ki St between 10am-4pm to check out Zine­fest? Damn straight you are! You know how much you sup­port self-pub­lish­ing, music, art, craft and food!

And you’re going to intro­duce your­self to Joan­na and buy her BOYS BOYS BOYS BOYS BOYS hand­writ­ten zine, 101 Sto­ries that I want to tell you purge and her cookbook/entertaining guide You’re SO enter­tain­ing as well as her sug­ar scrub that all the Welling­ton­ista rave about? You are, right? That’s awe­some! Well done you!
