Geek Girl Crafts PodZine: Issue 2

Well, Jade finally managed to get her act together and release the 2nd issue of the Geek Girl Crafts Podzine --  a quarterly fanzine based off our podcast, and all of those things that we love doing and talking about.

And she managed to get it into the last few days of this quarter! (She sincerely apologizes and blames the holiday season.)

For this 25 page issue, we have a slew of articles for your perusal:

• Crafting Season -- España talks about the season of crafting
• A PodCastiung 'T.V Guide' -- a summary of some of the girls' (and their listeners') favorite podcasts
• A Tale of Two Cons -- Bill Howard talks about attending different convention types for his type of geek
• Doctor Doctor -- Chris Erickson gives the low-down on all of his costumes
• Holiday Crafting Ideas --- Sandy gives some advice & links
• Mail Call --- our readers give us ideas & help

• Bottled liquors for her friends and family.
