BASIC INFO:
NYC Zine Fest '09
June 27 and 28
Brooklyn Lyceum in Brooklyn, NY
12 - 7 both days
Tablers, Workshops, Discussion Groups, and Parties.

MISSION:
The mission of the NYC Zine Fest is to circulate and promote independent, homemade, self-published, and small publications. We aim to support and expand the network of creators who self-publish zines in and outside of the NYC metro area. We aim to connect artists, writers, and collectors of zines and to further the NYC zine community through a two-day annual series of events, including tabling, workshops, presentations and parties. We hope to celebrate and highlight the spirit of Do-It-Yourself (DIY) culture that zines represent.
This event is meant to be fun and participatory. If you have suggestions, comments or would like to help us plan these events, please contact us at nyczinefest (at) gmail (dot) com
We hope to grow this over the years, each time adding additional programming and networking/educational opportunities.

FUNDRAISING EVENT FOR THE FEST: MAY 29
NYC Zine Fest '09 Fundraiser and Party!

Raffle, Zine Reading, Dance Party? All rolled into one?! Come to the Lyceum to support and sustain the NYC zine and self-publishing community and keep costs low for participants at the Fest. Meet like-minded DIY'ers, take part in our raffle, and dance!
This is the place where everyone will come together. We're organizing an evening of zines and music to celebrate our thriving local zine community and to raise funds to subsidize the costs of the Zine Fest (keeping table costs low, not charging door fees, etc.).
Please spread the word! More info soon..

Daily Reading Log

February 3, 2012

  • More Murakami, still in small bits.

February 2, 2012

  • After seeing someone reading the new Murakami on a train platform yesterday (and seeing that they were further along than I am--after a month of reading and not reading it), I lugged it along on my commute.

February 1, 2012

  • Started LeGuin's Left Hand of Darkness, traveling from work to school.

January 30, 2012

  • "Pictures will be graded on sincerity and evidence of time spent using up your crayons." (If only all art teachers were this straightforward.)
  • More of The Marriage Plot. Probably will finish it today and look into more Eugenides.

January 29, 2012

  • The Marriage Plot. Sympathizing with Leonard perhaps too much, from multiple perspectives.

January 28, 2012

  • More of The Marriage Plot

January 27, 2012

  • The Marriage Plot

January 26, 2012

  • Started The Marriage Plot, and am really, almost guiltily enjoying it.
  • Watched this crazy PBS show where they dissect a sperm whale because of just finishing Moby Dick. Although probably not as gory as a whale ship, it's really the real thing--watch out!
  • Realized that Moby Dick is the original Animals Being Dicks:*


*Or maybe that should be Animals being (Moby) Dicks?... Now somebody's gotta make a GIF...

January 25, 2012

  • Finished Moby Dick. Wow.

January 24, 2012

  • Articles and passages for a bibliography
  • Just a bit more of 1Q84

January 23, 2012

"To produce a mighty book, you must choose a mighty theme. No great and enduring volume can ever be written on the flea, through many there be who have tried it."*

(you couldn't tell our tale on a flea either--working on chapter XVIII)

January 22, 2011

  • More Melville.

January 21, 2012

  • Moby Dick on the train. Pulling out the tome made a fellow train traveler jump at the chance to discuss the book (he thought that the first and last 100 pages were amazing, but didn't like the parts in between, and wished me luck with getting through the rest of it. I'm in the 600's and not worried about finishing it, but I am wondering when that damn white whale will show up).
  • "Street Books: Anatomy of a Street Library" zine. Totally amazing! Check out Street Books!
  • This is Why I'll Never be an Adult

January 19-20, 2012

  • A tiny bit of Moby Dick, but stress city.

January 18, 2012

Official reaching-the-limits day. Read things, can't remember what.
