It started with me carrying a tin of colored pencils and my notebook down to Sean's room.
He didn't know if he was staying in for the night but for the time being, I was welcome to sit on his bed and do whatever while he worked on things.
We went to Chicago Zine Fest today (well now, yesterday) and were feeling extra creative.
I'm bad at being spontaneous but all of a sudden we were shaking hands and agreeing to start a zine of our own.
We chose a topic that seems universal: sadness.
We gathered up stories in the same way that we gathered up paper and pencils.
Over the course of the evening, Sean, Jake, and I made our first zine.
This was interrupted by lots of laughter, body parts cracking from discomfort, and a small break to enjoy a peanut butter and raspberry jam sandwich.
What we created will henceforth be known as Get Sad Zine.
We're pretty proud of the results too.

I look forward to sharing more of this new crazy endeavor with you all!
Have a good night.
