visited to do zine-y business as well as participate in a zine panel tonight up at Loyola. Moments later, Punk Planet co-editor DAN SINKER (below) strolled in to do something that required a tape measure and paper.

Chris the Dude

This is Chris, our UPS delivery man, and we think he’s grand! He operates on a very exact airport-like schedule, typically delivering our day’s shipments between a 1:49pm and 1:59 window.

Postering Rules

The Rules of the Game

The time has come. We got sick of having to go through a big speech every time someone comes in and wants to hang their flyer or poster. We are proud to present an attractive list of rules that we can just refer people to in that area of the store. We have actually used the phrase, “Sir, if you can’t follow the rules in the pink frame then you can’t hang your poster here.”

Hey everyone, if you’re free Thursday night you should come up to Rogers Park here in Chicago and check this. It should be fun and interesting, and it’s totally free.

$100, a T-Shirt, and a Panel Discussion

Joe Biel of Microcosm Publishing and Boxcar Books will be showing his documentary film on zines, “$100 and a T-Shirt.” The film is a cultural analysis of what causes zine makers to tick; what the hell zines are, why people make zines, the origin of zines, the resources and community available for zine makers, and the future of zines. It features interviews with about 70 zine makers, ex-zine makers, and readers from the northwest.

Following the film will be a panel discussion on zines featuring Liz Mason (Caboose Zine), Billy Roberts (Loop Distro & Proof I Exist), Kelsey Snell (The Machine Media), Al Burian (Burn Collector), Alicia Dorr (Random Life In Progress), and Aaron Cynic (Fall of Autumn/Diatribe Zine).

Thursday, April 12, 7 pm at Galvin auditorium in Sullivan Center on the campus of Loyola University (6339 N. Sheridan Rd. Chicago, IL, 60626 — note that we’re posting this on our blog but it’s NOT at Quimby’s.)

This is event is completely free!
