Blogifesto for June, 2011

That's right! Microcosm's awesome mail order operation is moving from Bloomington, IN to magnificent Lansing, KS! Amazing and dedicated Microcosmers have been in Kansas since 2009, doing tasks like sending out promotional mailing and catalogs, updating our social networking and blog, proofing manuscripts, and (more recently) ordering zines and managing customer service. Now they'll be the heart of our distro, sending out your packages and stocking those fine zines!

Hi all, This statement is in response to individuals in the zine community accusing the founder of Microcosm, Joe Biel, for emotional abuse. Alex Wrekk (of Brainscan and Stolen Sharpie Revolution) and Cindy Crabb (of Doris zine and distro) have written about this, and other zinesters have requested information. To many, this may come out of left field or seem incidental to one's relationship with Microcosm. This is for us to get off our chests, and to address silence that those involved have waited to see broken.
