8 Beat Gag Magazin Scans Progress:

okay i feel guilty not giving any progress updates at all so here's what's going on.

i'm trying to scan all my magazines and upload them into a giant google drive at once, including rescanning my volume 5. also the app i use for scanning has that stupid watermark and i get a 3 day trial to remove it so that's when i want to save all the pictures. that way there's no water mark blocking anything.

as for when the scans will be complete, it'll be sometime during or after may (specifically after my echo & the bunnymen concert). i'm trading in my phone for a better refurbished one for my concert and i'll just lose all my progress so i'm waiting. i hope you all understand and i promise i'll get those scans out as quickly as i can!! :)

If you find any Tears for Fears in your 8 beat gag magazines, could you please share?

Of course! I actually did find them when scanning through and posted them on twitter. There also might be more moments of them appearing that I may have glanced over, but will definitely be available to read once I scan everything!! :3
