October = A Great Time For Zines

Filed Under events | 3 Comments

Lots of zine events going on this month:

Last weekend was the Philly Zine Fest.  This weekend is the Richmond Zine Fest. October 18 offers the Madison Zine Fest and the London Anarchist Bookfair. Also, starting next week and running through the end of the month, is the North of Nowhere Expo in Edmonton, Canada. The weekend of the 25th will see the New York Art Book Fair (including a queer zine exhibit), the Halifax Zine and Record Fair (in Canada), and Canzine 2008 in Toronto. And if that’s not enough for you, the Alternative Press Expo will be held Nov. 1-2 in San Francisco and the New Orleans Bookfair will be Nov. 15.

In other news, we’re a little late on this, but: Reading Frenzy, a kick ass zine store in Portland, is asking for support. To help raise funds, the store is trying to sign up 250 new Co-Frenzy members by the end of the year. Membership costs $100; in return for your financial support, you get perks like discount, a t-shirt, and a poster. If you can afford it, show some love.
