a place for zinesters - writers and readers

NYC Zine Fest

Alycia Sellie, Susan Thomas, and I, with the help of Deb Klein are looking to organize a NYC Zine Fest the last weekend in June at the Brooklyn Lyceum. We're checking in with y'all to see
1. If you know of any conflicting events
2. Who wants to help
3. If you have anything else to say on the subject

We're in the very early stages here--nowhere near ready to talk about booking tables yet, so please don't ask.

I agree. I was really impressed by the fest organizers' organization, good cheer, and willingness to accommodate concerns of folks with little dough for registration fees, or lots of concern for people with small children. hot stuff.

I'm sending out the Zinesters Guide to NYC Survey to all the NYC-dwelling zinemakers with whom I connected at the fest tonight or tomorrow. If you're one of the ones I missed for sure, give a yawp!

The organizers sent out this message with a link to a nice photo slideshow.

Thanks so much for participating at the Fest, you all made it utterly unique and successful.
