    to Starting & Running an Underground Paper

    Made from 100% Recycled Pimply Teenager Angst



    Guerilla Distribution Tactics: How to get your paper out without getting caught.

    Always have a small group of people, around 3 or 4, to bring the paper to school. These people can't be the same ones who write for the paper or really know too much about its ongoings. The thing is, they will be the ones to pass out a bulk of the papers and will easily be targeted, and you want them to be largely ignorant. It's pretty easy to get 3 or 4 people to spread 300-600 issues around a school in a matter of 2 hours, 'cus that's what we did with Pandora's Box. One kid can get 20 issues, give 10 to another, and another, etc. You get the idea.

    Some good places to leave the papers would be bathroom stalls and sinks...stuff them into random lockers the night before school starts or early in the morning..leave them in stacks in the locker room or on lunch tables or bleachers. Put them in obvious places at the library. Once you get the initial group of distributors to hand out stacks, you're set.

    If your school has standard places or stands for the school newspaper, why not leave stacks of your publication on top of them? What better way to take a big shit on the establishment?
