So, I got the call I'd been waiting for for over a week. This dude called me last week. "My wife left me... (my eyes bulged in preparing for how to handle the rest of this conversation) a LOT of fan-zines. DO YOU ACCEPT FAN-ZINES?!"
Me: Well, yes, I suppose. Do you know how many fan-zines your wife left you with?
Him: Well, a lot, 400, 500...?
Me (trying so hard to catch up since I got here in September and I'm still behind on my posting of zines): Uh... how many boxes?
Him: About 8 or 9?
Me: gasp.
So we made plans for him to drop them off. I kind of thought he was thinking of fan-zines like "Mojo" or "Uncut" or all of those really cool magazines that talk about films and music. Maybe I won't be saddled down too bad and I can take some of them to the San Diego Friends of the Library Book Store.
Well, I got the call and donation yesterday. It was 14 boxes. FULL of odd Stargate, Star Wars, Star Trek, etc. fan mags that were apparently made by fans in the days of old printers and spiral binding and boy there are a lot of fan-zines. So I have that to look forward to.
Just letting you know - just in case I'm skimpy on my descriptions of other zines and give you "just the facts, ma'am" for a while.
Woohoo!
Yay!
