2009 Format Festival
The return of the hugely successful Adelaide Zinester Walking Tour: Famous for getting kicked out of Borders, breaking into Adelaide Uni, trying to pass as a Christian Gathering and launching the smash hit single ‘Emoticons’.
Taken to new heights at the 2008 TINA festival with a midnight metal zine launch which terrified the local teenagers and saw at least one of Adelaide’s finest indie publishers leave their underpants behind a bush after an ill fated attempt to shit in public.
This year’s walking tour features, direct from the USA, the author of the award winning ‘On Subbing’ Dave Roche, Arlene Texta Queen, the mysterious Luke You, Lisa ‘Muscles’ Dempster of Vignette Press, Tom and Lou from Breakdown Press, Joel Catchlove, Sydney socialite Amanda Baird, Sam Rodgers, Stan from Excitement Machine/Urtext, low fi super star John Stevens and Maddy Phelan. And I’ll be launching my ‘long awaited’ 30,000 word cycling zine.
If you have zines you’d like to launch, get in touch – we’d love to have you. The idea is to go to a bunch of interesting Adelaide locales and give people 30 seconds to launch their publication whilst standing on a milk crate.

We Make Zines
We Make Zines is an online community for zine makers and readers. Although there are many social networking sites out there, there is little that focuses on zines. We all have our myspace or blogs, but those accounts are filled with friends from work, from the third grade, people who don’t know what a zine is and some who probably don’t care.
This space creates a place that focuses on the zines. I want this place to be less about personality and friends and more about the zines – what we produce and read.
You can create a profile, list your zineography, post images of zines, partake in the forums, find other zine writers, read about new releases, read reviews from your favorite zine writers and leave comments about the zine you just read on the actual zinesters profile.
