Distro's 2nd birthday!

2009-07-01T00:09:07Z

Hello there!
Wow, can't believe it's been 2 years already! And what a fantastic, amazing, incrediable 2 years it's been! I never dreamt when I opened marching stars with about 12 zines it would grow into what it has today. The last year has been difficult at university, but I was determined to prove everyone who said "all distros close when the owner goes to university" wrong!
Thank you SO much to everyone who has supported marching stars (either through ordering, letting me stock your zines, or just putting in a good word about it)! It's made finding the motivation to continue and expand so easy.
I can only hope there are many more wonderful years to come. This is easily the best 'thing' I've ever done!
Rambling over, birthday month! Also International Zine Month (officialy)! Every order in July will receive a mix cd with songs I like, simple as. I don't write a zine, so I never get to write the "written under the influence of" page... so this is kinda like that, songs I probably listen to as I update the site, read zines for consideration and package up orders! I'm also going to pop on the song with the lyric that inspired the name "marching stars". Exciting.
Thank you all so much,
Lizzy

Biggest distro update ever I think!
Two things:
1) It's 1.15am, I've been updating for hours. The site will be riddled with mistakes - if you come across any, please let me know!
2) Still looking to trade zines for descriptions! I send you a zine for free and you send a description of it in return. All of the following are going to need them! Email me if you're interested: distro@marchingstars.co.uk

DON'T FORGET TO VOTE IN THE EU ELECTIONS TODAY (UK)!!

So I'm on the bandwagon of students that care a ridiculous amount that the fascist BNP party don't get ANY seats in the European Parliament.

Don't be put off from voting by how silly MPs have been in the last few weeks. It's ESSENTIAL that you go and vote for anyone but the BNP - it's the only way to stop them! Don't know about you but there is no way I want that racist, sexist, homophobic party getting any more power! Some places they only need about 7% of the votes to get a seat.

If you're not sure who to vote for I definitely recommend checking out these 2 sites:
http://www.votematch.co.uk/europe/
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8060102.stm

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GO AND VOTE TODAY!!
Your local polling station is open 7am - 10pm - I'm sure you can squeeze it into your day!

Sorry to get all political on you, can't promise it won't happen again though!
*Breathe* Back to the nice perzines... (after I've voted!)
