Final pre-Chicago Zine Fest 2013 update

I stayed up late last night to make sure I had everything ready to go, and make sure the printing quality from the last few days is up to my standards.  I apologize to everyone I promised a Cat Zine to, but I just don't have the space for it on the table...  maybe next year.  Here are all the items that Martin and I will have featured on our table at Chicago Zine Fest 2013:

Pointless Existence #1

Nebraska Underground Quarterly #3 & #4

It Came From Nebraska cd-r punk compilation w/ mini-zine

Also featured, FREE SWAG of...

CCPP back issues, + stickers

Young Fiction Writer new mini-zine Vagrant - Journal #8, + pins, and stickers

Plus...

Select rare, local punk distro items 

Where to find me @ Chicago Zine Fest 2013

Crucial Changes Printing Press will be found at table 80b at Chicago Zine Fest 2013.  I have circled the location the on the map.  This is a much better location than last year being right next to the elevators.  Be sure to stop by and say "hi".

Pointless Existence #1 is SOLD OUT + printing news updates

CCPP012 - Pointless Existence #1 is currently SOLD OUT but a second printing will be made exclusively for Chicago Zine Fest coming up in the next few weeks.   We hope to see you there.

Martin Gonzalez is currently working on issue #2 and CCPP will announce further updates on the new issue as they happen.

In other CCPP news, Omaha illustrator Taylor Smith is currently working on his second cut-up art zine, and hopefully he will have something ready for us to bring to Chicago.  More updates soon.

Also happening in the CCPP camp, I will be finishing up my call for open submissions for my next local cd-r comp. that will be unveiled at Chicago Zine Fest.  This will only give me a few days to work on the packaging, but I will be on vacation, so I'll have plenty of time to finish the project.  I'll also have some re-printings of my latest NUQ zine available for Chicago as well.

In final news, I will also be bringing some zines along to Chicago from local transplant Christopher Vaughn Couse as well as anyone else who can get their zine in my mits before I leave for Chicago on the 8th.  So if you have something you want to donate for the CCPP table, get in touch.

That's it for now.  Expect further updates leading up to Chicago Zine Fest as they happen.  Peace.
