Everything to print this week, how many, and where it goes. Any copy shop; a home printer works for the one-sheets.
What to print

|---|---|---|---|
| The one-sheet | sheet.pdf | Letter, one side (two sides if you want the puzzle back: sheet-back.pdf) | 20 |
| Large print | sheet-large.pdf | Letter, two sides | 5 |
| La hoja (Spanish) | sheet-es.pdf | Letter, one side | 10 |
| The box edition | zine-box.pdf | Letter, landscape, two sheets, two-sided, flip on the short edge; nest sheet 2 inside sheet 1, fold once; no staples | 20 |
Every print says "good till Oct 25" or has no dates. A stale stack gets swapped; call and we bring more.

Keep five of each in the car for the next counter that asks. The office mailbox is mail only, not a stop.
The ask at a counter, two sentences: "It's a free weekly paper for the Westside, written by neighbors, nothing for you to pay and nothing to sell. Can it sit here, and can I refill it on Thursdays?" Say yes to any condition they add.
What to watch
Count what's left after a week. Note any call or text to 719-201-5462 and any word find or quiz score that comes in. That's the first real test; everything before it was rehearsal. The reader inbox was empty on October 11.
