    I recently linked to a couple of posts covering the zine scene from TABlog, but somehow missed this one, which has regular PauseTalker Sophie Knight writing about her experience creating a zine, and then selling it at the “Zine’s Mate” event.

    Despite the fact that I’ve been house-bound and on my back for the past month, I’m very glad to say that the “Urban Paper” paper toy art show and book launch is still happening at Cafe Pause next month. Produced by Josh McKible — who you all know from NaniBird — it celebrates the recently…

    I was really upset that I had to miss last week’s Néojaponisme joint at the SO+BA gallery — it was to be my first DJ stint, dammit — but I am glad to hear that it turned out to be a great NJ lovefest. And now time to point you to the site today for…
