In celebration of the Zinester's Guide to NYC, St. Mark's Bookshop is hosting a zine-centric NYC Zinevasion!
How do you make a zine?
Why do you make a zine?
How did you get into zine-making in the first place?
What other zines do you read?
Where can I get my zine photocopied?
...How are zines distributed?
Where are zines reviewed?
Where can you go to buy zines?
How do you pronounce it?
And how can I find out more?
Be you a seasoned vet, a zi-curious newbie, or an unrelated browser in the right place at the right time, we hope you'll join the contributors to the Zinester's Guide to NYC for a reading, Q and A, and open consignment session.
Bring three copies of your zine if you'd like St. Mark's Bookshop to sell it on a consignment basis.
And while you're there, don't forget to pick up (more than one) copy of The Zinester's Guide to NYC - an invaluable resource for New Yorkers, visitors, and art supply requiring, photocopying, bookstore haunting, highly participatory individuals of a low budget, zinely bent!
This evenings distinguished guests include:
Ayun Halliday, The East Village Inky
Melissa Bastain, Anywhere I Lay My Head
Josh Saitz, Negative Capability
Esther Smith, Purgatory Pie Press
Sunday, December 5, 7pm
Zinester's Guide to NYC Contributor Smackdown / Veggie Potluck Snackdown
Bluestockings Books
172 Allen Street (between Stanton and Rivington)
New York, NY
Okay, okay, it's not so much a smackdown as a chance for some of our contributors to strut their zinely stuff with the NYC-flavored readings you crave! Meet some of the opinionators behind the Zinester's Guide to NYC. Pick our brains for where to go. Pick a fight over a listing you can't believe we included. And then YOU tell us where to go for edition 2.
While you're at it, don't forget to stock up on plenty of zines and Zinest...er's Guides to NYCs. Badda bing. Who says holiday shopping has to be an unpleasant chore?
Because zines are well known to stimulate the appetite, we're declaring this event a veggie hors d'oeuvres potluck. We've got the plates. Yes, pretzels qualify. So do cookies. Get your snack on by bringing some to share. Who knows? Your recipe might just turn up in the next East Village Inky!
