This issue's theme was: Picnic Basket!

"What do you have in your picnic basket this summer? I hope it's not a knife wielding pirate bird...Will it be a stack of hotdogs? Ants having a feast?! An eternal dark void that is scary on the outside but really is just fuzzy and likes strawberry tea on the inside?"

Thanks to our awesome contributors for coming together and filling up this issue:

V5: Issue 1 - Spring

Zine making always involves food, and with the weather getting a little warmer, we're hoping it will also involve more friends.

V4: Issue 1

We got to the public library, madly tried to print the zine and realized a huge error had been made and one of the pages had been saved over, utilized the utmost creativity with Word and Internet Explorer to put together the remaining page again, cut, printed, and stapled using the worlds most finicky piece of machinery and got out of there before the library closed. This was a description of a very effective 30 minutes of time.

This zine was made to match the timing of Hamilton's annual Super Crawl. A weekend long art event which has quickly become the most popular free event in our parts (and I'm including Toronto). The crawl is still fine turing it's shape; it's art; it's music; it's food trucks; it's ruckus; it's people; it's mardi gras; who knows what it is. Whatever it might turn out to be, the crawl is a wild and exciting, so who wouldn't want to be a part.

Pride 2013 V3: Issue 2

Issue excerpt: "Having walked from Park Presidio down through to the most upward end of Castro, I located myself on Divisadero Street looking at my shoes. A man in his twenties in garish green knit and tight jeans stood next to me and asked for a cigarette.  Then he asked me where I was going.  I replied ...."

If you got an issue of this zine at Toronto Pride 2013 that means a band of 'oh no, I still have finish that project for Tuesday yet' and 'omg I have work in the morning' students and newly-grads managed to successfully get this issue printed and stapled just in time to hand it to you.  Thanks for taking a copy and HAPPY PRIDE.

Like a charm V3: Issue 1

Year 2013, enter MOT zine first edition, volume three. This third year will work like a charm, a number of changes for our members and an addition to the zine: a pull out- scan me page! Yes, we now have a blank page that you can fill in and send to us by e-mail! We will post them in bulk and will surely love and credit your work.

Theme, distribution:
Collecting submissions for the "characters" theme was perfect to coincide with TCAF's 10th year anniversary. Packed as usual, the event left us wanting more and wished Toronto's Reference library is open until we have visited every artist table. It was also a new experience for us to try Copydog Hamilton, located on the basement of Homegrown Hamilton, they were very accommodating! 

Needless to say it was a success distributing our zine in Hamilton and Toronto.

V2: Issue 2

Our second pride issue.  Like PRIDE, an expression of difference and individuality, we left the front and back of this issue blank to let everyone draw their own cover.  We've had dreams of doing a colour issue for a long time but funding has prevented that from being followed through.  Instead, personalized and unique covers for each copy of the issue was its own kind of fun.

Thanks to everybody who drew a cover.
Thanks to everybody who took a copy.
Thanks to everybody who put it aside if they didn't like it so somebody else could pick it up.
And thanks to everyone who puts on the Toronto Pride.
Here's to celebrating our uniquenesses (yes, lets use it as a word).

V2: Issue 1

Hello, Volume 2,

Glad you made it!  Who would've thought we'd get to see you so soon.  Who would've thought we'd get to see you at all.  We're looking forward to spending lots of time with you.

Sincerely,
MOT

Find us today.  We're where we've been, at this same time, practically every month.  Crawling.  It's fitting that the cover to this issue is a tribute to our town, the place our collective has stemmed from.  None of us can say it's a particularly glorious town to be in but its got charms and perks.  Tonight we're going to walk its streets and leave our zine in nooks and crannies were the interested will come across it.  If you're one of those people you'll note that there is a GLARING TYPO on the front cover! :o 
We'll be printing another 50 issues soon that will hopefully be free of that.  But hey, you get to have a special edition!

V1: Issue 3

At 3:00PM we met up to put this issue together.  By 4:00PM we had all our submissions in and our pages ready.  Between 4:00PM and 5:00PM there was mild panic, mistakes, re-editing, more mistakes, decisions, assessments, discussions, tutorials, and finally, there was a zine ready to be printed.  We rushed to the printers and made it there half-an-hour before their closing time and stayed twenty minutes after.  We tried three different staplers before finding one that cooperated.  We had to leave margins on some of the zine.

At 6:20PM we walked to a convenience store for sustenance with fifty neatly folded zines amongst us.  At 7:00PM we distributed them in clever nooks and stands around our art district.  At 8:15PM we saw someone carrying an issue at a gallery we hadn't gotten to yet.  After weeks of anticipating this issue, that moment alone was the most exciting part.

V1: Issue 2

Toronto Pride.  We printed a hundred issues, but doubled the number of pages from our first zine to sixteen pages.  We handed them out to the crowd before the parade started.
Yes, it is free.
No, it is not an ad or promo.
Nope, no strings attached.
Well, because we like to.
Yeah, it's just pictures.
So ... will you take one?

V1: Issue 1

We funded a hundred humble zineletts with pocket money and spare change.  They were assembled with the help of friends and 'borrowed' staplers (which were returned safe, sound, and unnoticed of their absense to their original places afterwards).  The little stack, in their improvised stand, were placed next to the elevators on the ground floor.  They seemed sadly overshadowed by bigger, glossier publications.

The biggest excitement was seeing the little stack dissipate over the course of a week and having no issues littering the grounds.  The hope is that every issue was read, liked/disliked, kept/or properly disposed into recycling bins.
