Zine Club Chicago: Cut-and-Paste Challenge + Quimbiversary Party, Sept 21st

Zine Club Chicago: Cut-and-Paste Challenge + Quimbiversary Party

3 p.m. Saturday, September 21, 2024

Quimby’s Bookstore, 1854 W. North Ave.

Free!

Zine enthusiasts, are you ready for the Cut-and-Paste Challenge? This month marks Zine Club Chicago’s 6th Quimbiversary! And our shop is turning 33! So of course we’ve celebrating with zinecentric hijinks.

Please join us for Zine Club Chicago: Cut-and-Paste Challenge + Quimbiversary Party, 3 p.m. Saturday, September 21 at Quimby’s Bookstore, 1854 W. North Ave. in Wicker Park. Free!

Here’s how the Cut-and-Paste Challenge will work: Zine Club Chicago is going to set up six stations of fun zine-related activities throughout our shop. Complete all the challenges, and you’ll be entered in a raffle to win a bag full of zines, swag, snax (of course), and more!

One black cat we’ll let out of the bag is an activity we’re hoping you’ll help us with at this event. We want you to help us decorate a spine. Wait what? We swear that makes sense. If there’s 33 vertebrae in the human spine (See? We said it would make sense), and if Quimby’s is the supportive backbone of the zine scene in Chicago, and if zines have a spine (saddle stitched, glued or sewn), WHY NOT HELP US DECORATE A SPINE? It seems even more apropos as we march toward the hallow season.

But of course we’ll have other activities too, just you wait and see.

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

Facebook event invite is here.
