BASIC INFO:
NYC Zine Fest '09
June 27 and 28
Brooklyn Lyceum in Brooklyn, NY
12 - 7 both days

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

July 26, 2010

  • We talked about a great, great many things today at Immersion--we had over 12 hours together! I got to tell my group members about an article I read ("Re-Visioning Information Literacy for Lifelong Learning" by Dane Ward), and then we all talked about Palmer Parker's "Heart of a Teacher" chapter from The Courage to Teach.

July 25, 2010

  • Some more Octavia Butler--I broke down and bought Lilith's Brood for my final trip of the Summer (at last!). I read a bit of this at the airport and while in my native Vermont friend's recommended Burlington coffee shop, after exploring down by the water.

July 24, 2010

  • I didn't think that Survivor was anything to be ashamed of at all. In fact, I really enjoyed the questioning of the Missionaries a lot.
  • My suitcase has a hole patched with pink duct tape, and I haven't started packing yet. I'm off to Immersion for a week, and I'm feeling a bit anxious!

July 23, 2010

  • Amid procrastination, Survivor.

July 22, 2010

  • More Survivor, which I am enjoying.
  • Immersion documents!

July 21, 2010

  • Critical Library Instruction
  • I started Survivor, which is a bit scandalous (it's the book that Octavia Butler didn't want you to read!)...

July 20, 2010

  • Firebrands, which reminds me of Library Heroes in many ways.
  • Doonesbury compliations, since they were left out on the kitchen table.

July 19, 2010

  • Today was catch-up. I read my notes from HOPE and googled all the things that the hackers had taught me about over the weekend.

July 15-18, 2010

  • These past few days have been devoted to hacking everything from culture to typewriters to toenails.

July 14, 2010

  • Dane Ward, "Re-Visioning Information Literacy for Lifelong Meaning."
    • "We continually experience the world of inner information.

July 11, 2010

  • Today I went over to the dark side, instead of getting a million things done on my to-do, and to-read lists: IRC.

July 10, 2010

  • Finished Clay's Ark and Patternmaster. I think the first two books of the series were more intriguing, but I enjoyed all of them thoroughly and am trying to get a hold of the excluded Survivor, third in the series and which hasn't been reprinted because Octavia Butler didn't like it.
  • Started Alex & Me, after hearing Irene Pepperberg on the Moth (and thought it would be nice to pass on to a certain nonagenarian who has been reading books about birds and their relationships to people lately...)
