Tactile Zine

[polentA]

Hey CPTBadAss- I'm really interested in this project and would love to check it out. Will PM you.

I used to collect zines when I was younger, and I think this is a great project to compliment this kinda hobby.

If you mail me sick germs, I'm gonna be pissed.

Don't worry. If the germs are sick, they probably won't survive the trip.

Cool, thanks for your interest and the donation

Your donations at work: Saw a zine where the type used these old embossed labels. It looked awesome so I went to go look for one. Picked up this old school chromed out label maker and fluorescent label tape. I'll probably use it seal envelopes or use the aesthetics in the zine itself....or something. I thought it was cool and the setup was cheap .

Sweet, that thing reminds me of squeezing out labels for my Trapper Keeper. And is that a bad guy from Bonk's Adventure in the last pic?

You're the second person to figure that out!! It sure is. He's the little enemies in the first level if I recall correctly. Bonk's Adventure at the Louisville Arcade Expo last year got me into the TurboGrafx .

I love those old Dymo labelers. It has such a distinctive look that really captures an era. I have an old thermal printer from the early 80's that must have lost its badge at some point and someone replaced it with a Dymo label with some sort of asset number. Its almost better than the original badge.

I really love that look of the labels; just like you described haha. And the one on your printer is pretty great. I just remember playing with my mom's so it was fun rediscovering it.

The package arrived in the old continent today.
Thanks for the hand written note Cpt.
Let's now find a floppy reader

Finished addressing the envelopes, just need to print more zines to stuff 'em in and throw 'em in the mailbox. I think I might be done with hand-addressing envelopes. It takes a *LONG* time. Going to explore other options like thermal printers.

i love all of them!! 

[CPTBadAss]

Stickers come randomly with the zines. I make em for funsies. I haven't gotten around to selling then yet. Mainly because I'm still bad at making vectored images so not all the stickers are the best quality.

if you sell them... i'm going to stickerbomb all the things!!!! 

[Dernubenfrieken]

If this hobby has taught me anything, its the joy of getting random things in the mail that I've already forgotten about. Add me to the mailing list! I'll PM you my address.

Printed zines last night. Just need to fold and stuff em in envelopes now. Been a crazy couple weeks but we're getting there.

Yay! I'm excited! I must remember to donate.

[njbair]

Making zines is fun. I helped some friends make a zine once for another friend of ours' 21st birthday. It was a single-issue zine all about Brian, entitled "Fully Loaded Semi." It was basically stories and anecdotes about Brian from all his friends, and a collection of his messed-up crayon drawings from the back of Denny's placemats. It was about the coolest gift I've ever been a part of. I wish I still had a copy.

Let's make a 1 sheet zine with pictures from our keycap swimming party njbair.

I just got one straight up heartfelt letter, awesome start to the day.

I think I had to type it out like 3 times because I kept making terrible mistakes. Typewriter life is really hard with no backspaces.

That's why they invented correction fluid, bro.

Start typing out the envelopes since you are sick of writing. It'll be like a lottery to see how many actually get addressed properly and make it to people.

You should give us the option to fund the purchase of a stamp with our address on it, similar to what you've used in the past for your return address.  Although then you'd have a bunch of stamps lying around with the addresses of internet weirdos...

Good practice for when you need to do carbon copies!

Carbon copy...that's when you want to send an email to 2 people at once, right?

Wait.

Do you mean actual carbon copies?  Or "carbon copies" (which actually use a product explicitly called Carbonless Paper)?

Like when you put the carbon paper in bewteen the sheets of blank typing bond.

  An actual carbon copy. 

I just like to be pedantic because I used to work at one of the major manufacturers of carbonless paper. 

[CPTBadAss]

Carbonless paper. Ya'll are crazy. I'm on this thing called cheap office paper.

Carbonless is only useful if you're making multiple copies (yknow the copies with yellow, pink, white, etc colored sheets).  You wouldn't use it for this.

What if I'm typing multiple thank you notes at once and everyone get's a different colored sheet? WHAT THEN HOFF

Then that's cool but I thought we were talking about the Zine itself. 

If you wanna type up the same response to everyone then do you, man.    I wonder if I could acquire some of said paper from some old coworkers...

Not everyone. Just three people would get similar replies .

Seriously if you can get carbonless paper, send some this way. Especially if it's got old school headers or something already on it.

Damn. We just threw away like 1500 tractor feed sheets of carbonless invoices. They had the old area code on them, I think. Yes, we still invoice using dot matrix printers in 2015.

This would be straight from the factory, so no headers at all.

I'm going to try and finish up mailing out the Vol 4s sometime this week but it may not happen. Recent real life events have caused major roadblocks and I need to deal with them first. I believe I need to attend a funeral soon.

For now, consider Tactile on hiatus until I figure everything out. I will also be on GH much less and will probably only check this thread and Simple Questions regularly.

Thanks for your interest and support. I've got tons of ideas that I've been working on so there will be progress as soon as real life calms down.

Sorry for your loss, brother. Real life is more important than a forum or even a zine, as much as I'm excited about what you have going here. You take care of you.

Take care of yourself first, CPT. Thanks for the update, but don't feel obligated to spend more time on us than you're able.

Sorry to hear about this all, and my thoughts are with you and your family.

[njbair]

Sorry, man. Take care of yourself and your family. And let us know how we can help.

[inanis]

I'm sorry to hear about these troubles. I hope everything goes as well as it can for you and your family. You'll be in my thoughts. If you need anything, you know there are a bunch of people here who wouldn't hesitate to help out where ever possible, myself included.
