The Dream
A quarterly print + digital zine documenting Houston’s underground dance scene — each issue launched with a party, each party feeding the next issue.

Next 3 moves
Risograph Issue 00 as ISSUE 01. 100 copies, about $350. Order this week — the PDF is already the product.
Put the launch inside a party that already happens. You bring the zine and the story; they bring the room.
One QR code on every copy, flyer and post → one page → one email list. Every party grows it.

BEEDEE notes
You already have the thing. Issue 00 is the product. The party is the marketing. The list is the business. You’ve been treating them as three separate dreams — they’re one.
Stop asking printers, distributors and sponsors for permission. 100 copies in 100 hands is a stronger pitch than any deck. Sponsors follow proof.
Doing everything alone is fine for Issue 01. It isn’t a plan for Issue 04. Use the launch night to find the one person who wants to co-edit.
