I can start this thing off with a timely microblog (thanks Tom Cho for reminding me yesterday of this bonsai/bonzer possibility) about the zines table at the Perth Writers Festival. Off to the book sale tent after a deliciously convivial session featuring Patrick Gale, Marina Endicott and Shani Mootoo, I stumbled upon admirable Perth zinesters Anna and Steve (well he was off in parking chaos at that point actually) fronting (or backing) a long table full of excellent local (and a bit of imported) zine produce. God you've gotta love them, turning up on a stinking hot day, deprived off any tent cover, hauling boxes from the parking lot in outer Mongolia and peppered with questions by punters who thought they were the information tent. I snapped up 10 zines for $25 - didn't make it into the Dymocks book tent either - didn't need to. (Well, the micro has become macro-ish - but anyway, that's 1 done).
