"It's a lot of time so the left and right side of the pages go together, and the order of it. People don't necessarily think the order matters but it does. We try to relate the theme of two like contributions," Blaker said.
Blaker and Nash plan to continue The 'Zine with the next issue coming out in the Fall semester. They are currently trying to figure out how to receive funding for their magazine without chartering themselves as a club.
"We're going to try to get funding without being an out-there club. We don't want to have a table. We want to be underground and maintain a mystery," said Nash.
Response to the magazine has been, according to the co-creators, very positive.
"Everyone really really really likes it," Blaker said."
"With one exception," Nash added. "We were handing them out in downtown Saratoga Springs and this old couple were eating. So I saw the old man and he looked like a 'Zine type. I guess The 'Zine fell in the hands of the hostess. She told us, 'I don't get this, can you explain this to me?' So, there's also an un-zine type who are closed off to real thoughts."
"Even though we're trying to make it very accessible, some people won't understand," Blaker said. "My parents really didn't understand it."
