hi gals, i stumbled upon your blog from Reddit. i love your blog! I am from southern California. I was hoping to trade zines with Mackenzie. We just had a zine fest in Los Angeles last February and I completed one zine after being dormant for 8+ years. let me know 🙂
Thanks Reena! we’re so glad you found us – as you can tell we’re new bloggers and haven’t got much attention outside the Houston community. anyway, makenzie is the “zine” one so i’ll be sure she sees your comment and responds (btw, she LOVES getting zines in the mail and i’m sure she’s jump at your offer)
keep in touch,
