△ DAFT ZINE UPDATE #10△ [ACTION ENCOURAGED]
Hello everyone! It’s been a while. As I’m sure you are all aware, Daft Punk announced their retirement as a duo last Monday. The news sparked an international response with individuals looking back on fond memories, sharing stories, and of course, great sadness. It has been abundantly clear these past few days that Daft Punk meant so much to so many, and the sudden disbandment was undoubtedly an unexpected turn.
The Daft Zine was created as a tribute to the legacy the robots had built in their then 20+ years of history. And at the time, I was confident there would be more in store for them. Although this may be where their story concludes (for now), I am so very grateful for what they were able to give us in that time together. And I cannot thank you all enough for the response the zine has had and continues to have today!
After serious thought, I am writing to let you all know that I would like to proceed with a third and absolutely FINAL round of preorders for the zine!
This was something I never could have predicted would occur. I have received inquiries over the years asking about a possible reprint, but I had no way of gauging the response it would receive. With the announcement last week, attention has come to the zine full force, and I believe with the resurgence of interest in the project (and the duo) that I can adequately manage the preorder process one more time.
Like Round 2, it will only involve the Digital PDF and the physical zine. There will be NO additional merch items available, with the exception of the patch and enamel pin, which will be stretch goals! This project continues to be non-profit and all proceeds will be donated to the original charity, Music Unites, after shipping has concluded.
Before proceeding further, I would like to have one final survey to make note of the number of people interested in the zine. If you would like to purchase a copy of the Daft Zine, please be sure to fill it out! The details for Round Three are still TBD, but preorders will most likely be taking place before the end of March and remain open for a period of 1 month. The zines will be available on Gumroad for preorder Here.
I am also excited to share that the zine is now on Instagram @daftzine! Please check back for updates regarding the start of preorder as well as a proper announcement for when the items go on sale. Reblogs are also greatly appreciated! Help spread the word so we can ensure everyone who had interest in the zine but was unable to receive a copy knows that now is the time!!
As always, thank you all so much for keeping up with the zine and for your continued interest. You all have made this possible, and I cannot wait to jump back into this project. I look forward to providing another update soon. 🤖💖🤖
