Profile Information

As far as I know, I'm the only really active zinester in Fresno at the moment. I co-owned a space called The Bel-Tower here in Fresno and currently spend all my time at CAFE Infoshop. I write a lot about Fresno, but my zine can be about anything.

I'm not a fan of technology, so most of my work is handwritten or cut-and-paste.

Want to trade zines, submit to otherXcore, order zines, send goodies, or be pen pals???

PO Box 391

Madera, CA 93639

I also book shows and make fliers. Email me at otherxcore@gmail.com if you require my services. I prefer to book queer/lady/radical bands in the vein of punk or darkwave, but I may be able to help you if you don't fall into any of these categories.

The details are all the same as in the previous blog post, but I thought I'd share some cool news! Our headliners for the fest are ACxDC (straight edge power violence legends) and RESIST AND EXIST, arguably one of the most recognizable names in radical punk history.

To sum it all up, if you can be in Fresno, CA on October 15, you can table FOR FREE and catch some super good bands. I hope to see some of you there.

The Bel-Tower is a DIY music and arts collective I co-own in Fresno, CA. We're holding a fest for our one year anniversary on October 15 (at our space, of course), and we would love to have some people table! If you have zines, music, crafts, literature, or anything else you'd like to sell and/or give out, we want you there! Tabling will be free, but we'd love it if you could kick us a couple bucks for the bands. One catch: you'll have to provide your own tables and chairs because ours are…
