Fire Sale - your final chance to buy Is Not Magazine!
If you’ll be in Melbourne on Thursday 28 August or Saturday 30 August, well lucky you! This means you can seize your absolute final chance to get your hands on a copy of Is Not Magazine. We have been advertising the Fire Sale since May, and now it’s finally happening!Over two days, we’ll be selling our final bumper three-sheet Issue #11, “All That Glitters Is/Not Gold” ($30), as well as assorted mint-condition back issues ($20), Take-Aways ($5), slightly battered back issues (cheaper, POA) and extremely rare back issues we thought were sold out (more expensive, POA).
There will also be CLOTHING, OFFICE FURNISHINGS AND EQUIPMENT and IS NOT MAGAZINE COLLECTIBLES, plus ENTERTAINMENT consisting of mulled wine for sale, delicious baked goods and short stories written and emailed to you on the spot by an Is Not Magazine editor. Come and hang out with us, have some drinks and laffs, and bring your wallets…
Thursday 28 August, 5pm-9pm
Saturday 30 August, 12pm-6pm
Level 5, Vesta House, 1 Carson Place, Melbourne
After the Fire Sale, Is Not Magazine will be officially wound up and we will be unable to sell, let alone post, any more magazines or merchandise. So if you’ve ever wanted the warm feeling of supporting a foolhardy yet lovable independent publication that still owes money to its printers, BEEEEE THEEERRRRRE!

Is Not Retrospective Exhibition on now!
Well, we are filled with a swelling pride when we look around the gallery and see every single issue of Is Not Magazine hanging there. Our debut issue with the overpowering ink smell. The ahead-of-its-time fluoro pink of Issue 3. The Merce Cunningham special we did for last year’s MIAF. And of course, the final, ginormous three-sheeter Issue 11, which you’ll also find posted on Melbourne’s streets, right now.
If you’re in Melbourne, come down and check out the show. It’s at 37 A’Beckett Street in the city, open 12-8pm every day until Saturday 26 July. This is also your second-last chance to buy a copy of the final issue, as we are only selling them in person for $30.
Oh, and don’t you forget about our Senior Prom, our final party to raise the necessary capital to pay those printers once and for all. It’s this Friday, 25 July.

Hello everyone,Yes, we were as good as our word – the online shop is now closed. If you managed to put in an order, well done you! If you didn’t, don’t be sad – you will be able to buy our bumper three-sheet Issue #11, “All That Glitters Is/Not Gold”, at our retrospective exhibition in July, and at our Fire Sale in August, which we will shortly begin to advertise by getting Stuart and Jeremy to record an extremely hyperbolic, shouty voiceover.* At the Fire Sale, you can also buy our T-shirts, Take-Aways, and the remaining magazines, however please note that some issues are completely sold out and will not be available for purchase. Watch this space for details about this and our upcoming Final Ever Party.
