The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 7,400 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 12 years to get that many views.

Pittsburgh Zine Fair Benefit, You should come!

pghzinefair — Wed, 15 Aug 2012 01:23:45 +0000

We’re throwing a benefit show for the Zine Fair on August 24th at the Mr. Roboto Project. There will be live music from Dewey Marquee & Andre Costello as well as live readings from Daniel McCloskey, Artnoose, Max Wheeler and Paul Scott. We’ll also have some zine fair merch for sale in addition to zines/comics and original art. All proceeds from the evening go towards the continuation of the Pittsburgh Zine Fair annually. It’s $5 to get in the door and it’s for a great cause!

The Pittsburgh Zine Fair would also like to thank the Sprout Fund for their shared support in ensuring the success of this year’s event. Without them this may not be happening. Here’s a little bit about Sprout for those who don’t know:

The Sprout Fund enriches the Pittsburgh region’s vitality by engaging citizens, amplifying voices, supporting creativity and innovation, and cultivating connected communities. Founded in 2001, Sprout facilitates community-led solutions to regional challenges and supports efforts to create a thriving, progressive, and culturally diverse region. With strong working relationships to many community organizations and regional stakeholders, The Sprout Fund is one of Southwestern Pennsylvania’s leading agencies on issues related to civic engagement, talent attraction and retention, public art, and catalytic small-scale funding.

In addition we’d also like to thank the following organizations/individuals for the continued support of the Zine Fair, I’m sure this list will grow significantly over the next month:

The Mr. Roboto Project

Carnegie Libraries of Pittsburgh (Zine Department, Jude Vachon)

Cyberpunk Apocalypse Writers and Comics Collective

Assemble

Carnegie Mellon University

Elizabeth Brophy

Erin Oldynski

Steph Neary

Thom Delair

Ryan Firkel
