A few weeks ago, or maybe it was months, a nice young man came into SHOP having unintentionally found himself on the Christmas Steps (he was visiting a friend in Bristol for the day). He read about the Zine Library on SHOP's a-board and being very friendly and enthusiastic came in to chat and find out more.
We talked for a while about Zines and the shop and then he gave me three different Zines , which he had made and which he just happened to be carrying when he just happened to be passing the shop when he just happened to be in Bristol.
As he was leaving, he stopped, came back up to me at the counter and gave me a painted, yellow treasury tag with some round coloured stickers on the back. He said 'have one of these. They are for anytime you are somewhere and you feel you don't belong. Mark it with a sticker to remind you that it's yours too."
Look out for them.
It did occur to me that this might not work so well in commercial art galleries.
