About me:

Fight Boredom is a compilation zine. It's all about having good times in a small town.

Like many others, when I was a teenager I couldn't wait to get out of this town. But I've come to realize that there are things I like about living in a small town... Most places I need to go are in walking distance, I know the town's streets by heart, and a lot of my friends are here. In the summer of 2006, I moved to Ottawa, and while I fell in love with the city, I knew it wouldn't last. So I promised myself that if I ever wound up back in my hometown of Lindsay, Ontario, I would do whatever I could to make this town awesome. Putting together this compilation zine is just one of the projects I've been working on.

Fight Boredom is $2.00 by mail or Paypal, or trade for your zine.

Who I'd like to meet:

Zinesters, writers, artists, musicians, feminists, bored teenagers, small town folk and people who wanna distribute my zines.

    I hear ya. It's amazing how these hackers get our passwords.
    I was wondering if you had any new zines for trade? I hope all is well:)

    2 things!
    1) I saw your quote in Broken Pencil magazine about etsy - go you!
    2) My mum was telling me today that she heard on the news about a bus full of boy scouts that crashed in Ontario and lots were injured (but none killed) and that they all got taken to Lindsay hospital! My mum was like "of all the places it could have been!" :P
