A Short Fanzine About Rocking (or more accurately, Nick) is now a married man and I’m back off my honeymoon (two weeks in the middle of nowhere in Iceland, in case you were wondering), so things are back as normal with the zine’s BigCartel. That means if you head over to http://ashortfanzineaboutrocking.bigcartel.com to order the latest summer 2011 issue, it’ll be sent out...

First off, massive thanks if you’ve bought the new issue of ASFAR so far, it’s been selling faster than I could ever have expected. Now, I’m getting married on Saturday, and I’m going to be away for two weeks after that, so that’ll obviously affect my ability to send out any fanzines that are ordered via http://ashortfanzineaboutrocking.bigcartel.com while...

I've nearly sold out of the latest issue of ASFAR!
The spring 2011 issue of A Short Fanzine About Rocking has been selling so well that I’m nearly sold out! There are five more copies available via the zine’s very own Big Cartel (http://ashortfanzineaboutrocking.bigcartel.com), but I’m not going to be getting any more printed up cause a short run just isn’t viable. That means that, once those are gone, the only ways to...
