 |
| Despite the prediction of the poster in the previous photo, there were over 200 stalls. Not surprisingly, the event was fully booked. |
 |
| When we arrived at 9.30 am there was already a small queue of stallholders. (The genial doorman, Paul, pictured in the red waistcoat, has become a valued fixture of this event. When he slipped away for only a fleeting moment around opening time, Sticky refused to open the doors without him. Waiting zinesters enthusiastically chanted his name until he returned). |
 |
| Before very long the queue had extended around the corner. |
 |
| A short time later, it had continued up Collins Street as far as the eye could see. |
 |
| The doors were opened to stall holders at 11 am. I'm on the left setting up alongside zine stall neighbours, Gracia and Louise. Photo: Shane Jones. |
