Free!
Y’all clamored for it, so Zine Club Chicago is bringing back its after-hours hangout! Is making progress on your zine projects one of your 2025 resolutions? Kick off a creative year with us at Zine Club Chicago: No Sleep ’Til Stapling Zinemaking Hangout from 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday, January 25.
Bring your work-in-progress, create a new zine on the spot, or just catch up with other zine folks. We’ll stay open until 9 p.m., so feel free to drop in anytime during the evening. Bonus points if you wear your cutest pjs! (This gathering will channel the chill vibe of Quimby’s Zlumber Parties of yore.)
We’ll have zinemaking supplies, creative prompts, and snacks on hand. Zinemakers are encouraged to bring their zines to swap with others!
Plus, our own Echo will be offering tarot readings from 5 to 8 p.m.! Echo has been reading tarot cards for many years. She uses tarot as a mind-opening tool, a method for helping us see more, a path illuminator. Find her on the Internet: @fraulein_echo + echothehuman.com
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 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/
