We're very excited to finally be able to announce the lineup of readers for our Zine Reading at Quimby's.  The lineup will be:

- Jeffrey Brown

- John Porcellino

- Anne Elizabeth Moore

- Amber Forrester

- Monica Anderson

- Michelle Aiello

- Anthony Marvullo

The lineup was picked by random lottery of those who expressed interest in reading.  To those of you who didn't get the chance to participate, sorry, and there's always next year!

 

Yesterday Thuy and Eric over at Chicago Underground Library interviewed us for their blog.  It was a fun experience and we took a lot of goofy pictures.  Be on the lookout for that on their website.  Check them out at http://underground-library.org.  They're a wonderful organization and we're really proud to be involved with them.

 

The Chicago Zine Fest is coming up quick folks!  As of right now we're 22 days away from the festivities.  So get your rides figured out and yourself ready to come!

Chicago Comics Symposium Friday

03/12/2010 4:30 pm

The Chicago Comics Symposium will be comprised of four separate panel discussions with multiple artists on each and will be moderated by some of Chicago’s greatest thinkers, critics and (of course) readers of comics. The questions posed to the Windy City makers will address many issues including: the tasks of self-publication, the changing cultural status of comics and the difficulty of representing identity. -from the CCS website: http://chicagocomicssymposium.tumblr.com

The Chicago Comics Symposium is not part of the zine fest, but we felt it was important to mention, as it is close to us in several ways. It is happening the Thursday and Friday of the zine fest. The scope of its interests overlap with ours. The organizers are friends of the fest, and have helped put the fest together. We feel the two events compliment each other quite well.
