We’re asking on Twitter and Facebook, but figured you Tumblr peeps would wanna have a say. What are your dreams and hopes for future versions - web or otherwise - of IGGU? Would you want to submit?
Any comments/questions welcome. Go for it.
Friends—
Apologies for the technical difficulties. I’ve (Stacy) finally gotten it together to change the domain name name over from our old host, and a few issues arose with the its migration. And of content.
We’re moving everything off of our paid hosting service to the pages of Tumblr, as it has two great things going for it: a) there’s an engaged feminist/queer community in place and b) it’s free. We want to bring our content closer to you, instead of making you come to us. We’re hoping the move will result in more participation and conversation, two things to which we’re committed.
With this change may come some differences in usability and features; we’re hoping to keep our directory, reviews, and articles intact, but there’s a chance that some things might go away. We’ll let you know if that happens.
Further, we wanted to share the good news that, once the migration is complete, all articles published in theInternational Girl Gang Undergroundzine (not just our excellent online exclusives) will be made freely available online, under a CC-BY-NC license.
Finally, you should know that some changes in editorship will be taking place in the next few months. While I’m going to remain on board as a web editor and founder, KW (who’s been doing a majority of organizing, booking, and promotion on behalf of the IGGUzine and Girl Gang Gig Volume for more than a year now) will be the sole editor of the zine. She’ll announce opportunities soon for those of you who want to up your contribution to the IGGU community.
Thank you to KW for being such an amazing ally and friend. And to all of our contributors and readers for participating in this experiment.
With gratitude,
Stacy K.
WISDOM TOOTH: ZINE CULTURE AT SARAH LAWRENCE
Last Tuesday night, I rode the Metro North up to Bronxville to visit Sarah Lawrence for a zine reading hosted by Kate Angell. Kate, a frequent collaborator and friend, recently established a zine collection at my alma mater, and organized the zine reading as a celebration… (click the link for photos & a recap of last Tuesday’s zine reading)
KW will be reading at Sarah Lawrence from International Girl Gang Underground and related materials!
Honored to be in such good company!
There are so many new zines in stock at Stranger Danger! White Blackbirds #1 and #2, High on Burning Photographs #7, Glossolalia #14, Femme A Barbe #3, Sassyfrass Circus #7, My Aim is True #1, All I Want Is Everything #2, and a re-stock of International Girl Gang Underground. The Encyclopedia of Doris (which is a real book, instead of a zine!) is now in stock too! Every one of these is RAD.
