Yesterday we managed to rifle through a load of Zineswap post we have received of late and as usual we have received an exciting selection of zines from all over the globe. We will hopefully get swaps sent out by the end of the month. But one new arrival that grabbed my attention I wanted to mention was whipped up by the HARD WORKERS CLUB and showcases a selection of some lovely photography. Check it:

So its been a while since we posted anything to this section of the world wide web of wonder! Sorry for this, both me and Rob have been busy working on a mass of interesting new projects.
Anyway I was recently on a nice long break in America and found myself at a music festival in Gainesville, Florida of all places. An amazing, alcohol fueled and fast food driven time was had. But a highlight was coming across an epic zine library at the CIVIC MEDIA CENTER run by some really nice characters.
Check out the snaps below of their impressive collection:

YO! WE’RE GONNA BE HERE THIS WEEKEND. As well as swapping and the library, we’re gonna ask ya’ll to help us make a zine about SPACE and the PLANETS, then we’re going to put it in a box and bury it as a time-capsule for aliens from the future to unearth and have a riot over.
JOIN US. It’s free. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=183146518419722
We will be at this with the archive and swap-box. It’s got a rooftop garden. See you there.

One half of Zineswap, Gordo, is a little known for having a disposable camera perpetually attached to the end of one of his arms. This small plastic appendage is continuously flashing unsuspecting members of the public (better this appendage than the other) in an attempt to catalogue the day to day, without going through the tedium of putting pen to Pepysistic paper.
For some reason, the kind folk at Umbrella Magazine thought it a good idea to include it in their current issue. Great.
It’s 30th July which means that International Zine Month 2011 is almost over.
A perfect thing to do for zinesters to do in International Zine Month, of course, is to send Zineswap copies of any issues they don’t have already…
All through July while I’ve been (sparsely) blogging for this site, I’ve been meaning to post about something that *everyone* should do in International Zine Month, and that is…
_=-~’*!\\.The Twenty-Four Hour Zine Challenge.//!*’~-=_
So we are here in the fourth week of my “Friendly Fridays” postings for Zineswap… and this is only my second post so far… and neither this nor the other was done on a Friday. With apologies to the good folk of Zineswap, and the countless millions out there no doubt hanging on my every word (ahem) – I don’t feel entirely bad about that, simply because it has a certain aptness to it. That’s how zine-ing goes sometimes. It fits in around the other things you have to do, but it goes on fitting in because it’s one of those things you really want to do.
I am Wes White. The very same Wes White heralded in the last post.
My website at cyberwes.com* is usually experienced by its browsers as a baffling maze of material, with pages referencing each other and sundry, and links unexpectedly taking you to the ‘shop’ page at every opportunity – which is how it should be.
Right now, however, as I tinker with the maze, my website stands to advertise just one thing. And that one thing is Attack!!!! issue 14.That current status of the website – its rare singular intent – allows me here an opportunity to focus on two very specific questions which will help you to get to know me better as a zinester. Namely; “what is Attack!!!!?”, and “what is Attack!!!! issue 14?”.
