From ZAPP:

This Saturday, January 30, 6-9 p.m., Fantagraphics Books presents the release party for "NEWAVE! Underground Mini Comix of the 1980s," a new book compiling self-published mini-comics of the '70s and '80s, at their store in Georgetown.

For every copy of "NEWAVE!" sold at the party, Michael Dowers, the book's editor, will donate $3 to ZAPP.

The "NEWAVE!" release party features original artwork from Jaimie Alder, Jim Blanchard, Wayne Gibson, David Lasky, Wayno, Steve Willis, Dennis Worden and XNO. Dowers, mini-comics creator and former editor of Starhead Comix and Fantagraphics Books, will be creating and distributing a mini-comic on site. Plus, an allstar comics jam with music by hot Seattle indie rockers Iji.

“There is going to be some type of comics jam going on and ZAPP people would be welcome to participate ...” – Michael Dowers

That is sad. I didn't know.

I know this is kind of ridiculous but I made a ZAPP profile to have linked to our work email...thanks though for setting the group up David!

I have some very sad news to share: One of the original co-founders of ZAPP (originally 'ZAP'), Gary Greaves, has passed away. I got a chance to meet and talk with him for a few minutes at ZAPP's open house last fall. I found him encouraging and inspiring, and could see where ZAP got some of its powerful primordial spark. There will be a memorial for Gary on Friday (today):

Friday, February 20 at 10:00 a.m.
Central Lutheran Church, 1710 11th Avenue, on Seattle’s Capitol Hill
(This, I believe, is the church next to the Richard Hugo House.)

Many of you know this already, but for those of you who don't, there will be a Zine Librarians UnConference at ZAPP in mid-March. Here's the link for the press release...
