The Tranzac needs your help

Hello,

You may have heard that the Tranzac, which is the club that owns the building that the Toronto Zine Library is housed in, is in dire financial straits.

They need to raise a bunch of money by the end of the year in order to secure the future of the club. While the situation is dire, it is also manageable. The targets set are reasonable, and if enough people give money and attend upcoming fundraising events, the money will be raised, and the Tranzac will survive.

The Toronto Zine Library would not exist without the support of the Tranzac. Our operations are entirely outside of the "market," and if we were forced to find a new space, we would never be able to afford to pay rent on it. Please support the Toronto Zine Library by supporting the Tranzac. Become a Tranzac member for just 25 dollars, or donate however much money you would  by clicking here:

Click here to lend your support to: Save The Tranzac and make a donation at www.pledgie.com !

(the Tranzac is working on an online membership form)

More information about the campaign can be found here:

http://pledgie.com/campaigns/13572

And keep a lookout for a Tranzac fundraiser event to be hosted by the Toronto Zine Library.

24hr zine challenge kick off -- WED JULY 28!



Happy International Zine Month!



To celebrate, the Toronto Zine Library is participating in the 24 hour zine challenge and we would love for you to join us! We are hosting a kick off event this Wednesday, July 28th starting at 6pm and going strong until the Tranzac Club closes.


What is the 24 hour zine challenge, you ask?

A yearly event where one attempts to make a 24 page zine from start to finish in 24 hours. From initial idea right through to photocopying/collating/stapling your zine. More information, list of this year's participants and sign up can be found here: http://24hourzines.com/

(Please note that you dont *have* to register and/or send your zine in when its finished. We encourage you participate to whatever degree you are most comfortable with. Or, you are welcome to just come and hang out at the TZL and cheer participants on!)


Bring your ideas and if youre able a snack to share while we hang out, listen to music, and get a start on our 24 hour zines! Some supplies will be available (paper, glue, scissors, magazine clippings, a couple of typewriters, a long arm stapler) but please do bring your favourite or necessary zine making supplies. Conveniently, there is a 24 hour Kinkos a half-block away!

Also, similar to the event folks at the Independent Pubishing Resource Center (http://www.iprc.org/) in Portland Oregon held a few days ago, we will be streaming our 24 hour zine challenge event live! If you're unable to join us, bookmark http://www.ustream.tv/channel/toronto-zine-library-24hr-zine-challenege and tune in on Wednesday starting at 5pm EST and participate alongside us from wherever you may be.

Ok, to recap:

WHEN: wednesday july 28th, 6pm until close
WHERE: the toronto zine library -- 2nd floor of the tranzac club -- 292 brunswick st. just south of bloor. close to spadina subway station
COST: free!
WHAT: 24 hour zine challenge kick off
BRING: yourself, your friends, snacks, creativity, zine making supplies, ideas

Facebook event: http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=138008569562984&index=1

The Rainbow Connection: Richard Hunt, Gay Muppeteer


This event is on Monday, July 5, from 7-9pm. Please come!

"The Rainbow Connection: Richard Hunt, Gay Muppeteer" chronicles the life and work of Richard Hunt, a central puppeteer on the international blockbusters Sesame Street and The Muppet Show. Hunt performed characters such as Scooter, Statler (in the balcony), Janice, Beaker and even Miss Piggy in her early drag queen days. He was also an out gay man, dying of AIDS-related causes in 1992 at the tragically young age of 40.

A multimedia event presented by Jessica Max Stein, the author of the zine (and soon-to-be full-length biography) The Rainbow Connection: Richard Hunt, Gay Muppeteer.

As with all TZL events, it is free and all-ages, but space is limited!

THIS SUNDAY AT THE TORONTO ZINE LIBRARY (292 Brunswick Ave):

join us at the zine library for a special event with some fine folks in town from montreal:

-enjoy cupcakes, tea, rootbeer floats and other delights
-check out artwork from the zine
-listen to some live music we're proud to present the second nailbiter, full of anxious stories,art, comics and more.

Anxiety can be a shame and fear that we hide away in our secretchests. One of the reasons we started this project in the first placewas to chip away at the isolation that many of us have internalized.This zine is a testament to the courage it takes to put our storiesout there. We wanted to share out anxious bowels, sleepless nights,how we keep it together, how we lost it, things that make us anxious,things that make us feel safe, intersections of other mental/healthproblems, coming-of-age anxiety, date anxiety, embarrassing moments,symptoms of support, harm reduction, resources, how we did ourselvesproud, and the heroics of making it!!!!!!!!!

ghost pine anthology! book launch tomorrow night!


hey folks,

long time zine maker jeff miller has a book coming out on invisible publishing called GHOST PINE: ALL STORIES TRUE. come celebrate at the gladstone hotel tomorrow night.

JEFF MILLER – GHOST PINE: ALL STORIES TRUE
In thirteen years of publishing the influential zine Ghost Pine, author and editor Jeff Miller did not stray from its motto: “All Stories True.” Despite this, readers frequently claimed that his autobiographical stories were far-fetched. At the launch of his eagerly awaited collection, Ghost Pine: All Stories True (Invisible Publishing), Miller will take the stage to discuss the history of the zine and do some fact-checking. Presenting photographs, letters and audio cassettes from his archives in conjunction with his stories, he will light-heartedly play with truth and memory, fact and representation. Marc Glassman, Executive Director of This Is Not A Reading Series (TINARS) will host the evening. – A TINARS event presented with Invisible Publishing, Gladstone Hotel, NOW Magazine, Torontoist.com, and Take Five On CIUT.
Gladstone Hotel 2nd Floor Gallery, 1214 Queen St West
Wed April 14; 7:30 pm (Doors Open 7pm) $5 (Free with Book Purchase)

Make a zine! workshop


Make a Zine!

A Workshop for Beginners

Facilitated By Tara Bursey



Thursday, April 15, 7:00-9:30pm



Make a zine! Learn about the colourful and subversive history of underground publications and self-publishing! Have fun! Explore the zine medium and self-publishing by learning the roots of the zine, looking at examples of zines from the past and the present, and discussing local zine resources such as zine libraries, annual zine fairs, and methods of distribution. For the last half of the workshop, attendees will make their own fast-and-furious 8 page mini-zine, and will get advice on format, construction, and production. Materials will be provided, but attendees are encouraged to bring their own writing implements and collage materials.



Cost: $25.00
