Zine Club Chicago Online: Show Us Your Stacks Edition, Jan 19th

Published on December 17, 2020 0 Comments
Jan ’21
19
7:30 pm

7:30 p.m. CST Tuesday, January 19 on Zoom

Free!

Some people meticulously catalogue their zines, while others toss them in random piles; for many of us, the ways we keep our zines fall someplace in between. This month, we’ll be discussing how we live with the zines we choose to bring home with us. Some of our favorite collectors will be showing us their stacks, and you’re invited to show off — or just talk about — your personal zine organizing system, too.

Get your collection in order (or leave it messy), BYOS(nacks), and join us on Zoom for Zine Club Chicago Online: Show Us Your Stacks Edition! 

** Zoom info ** We want to make sure that our online Zine Club events are a safe space, so we won’t be releasing the Zoom link publicly. If you’d like to attend, please email zineclubchicago@gmail.com to RSVP by 5:30 p.m. CST Tuesday, Jan. 19. We’ll email you the Zoom link one hour before the event begins.

Zine newbies and longtime enthusiasts alike are always welcome at Zine Club Chicago, the city’s only book club-style event for people who read zines. This free monthly series is produced by Chicago Zine Fest/Midwest Perzine Fest organizer Cynthia E. Hanifin and sponsored by Quimby’s Bookstore. Anna Jo Beck designs our monthly flyers, created our logo, and made our Zine Club Chicago Shout-Outs site, where folks can peruse and recommend zines we’ve discussed at our events: https://zineclubchicagoshoutouts.spread.name/

Published on December 9, 2020 0 Comments

OK, we know this is confusing. Get out your planners!

Quimby’s will continue to be open to the public noon to 6pm Thursday through Monday (closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays).

However! Lucky you!

The week before December 25th (and only that week) we will also be open Tues, Dec 22nd and Wed, Dec 23rd, noon to 6pm, both of those days.

Quimby’s will be closed on Friday, December 25th and Fri, January 1st.

Once the holidays are over, we’ll be back to our schedule of noon to 6pm Thursday through Monday.

But of course, you can always shop at our website anytime you want. Ready for the quiz? Did you write this all down in your Slingshot Planner?

Domestic Holiday Online Shopping Deadline: December 14th

In the U.S. and need your gifts by December 25th? Order by Dec 14th. We do ask, however, that our customers keep in mind that USPS delays have been A THING, for obvious reasons. Once we put your stuff in the mail please be patient with our friends at the post office and beware that delays may continue through the holiday season. Overseas? We’re happy to ship to you but cannot confirm that your merch would arrive by December 25th.
