Fest season is upon us, so let’s share our best finds from Chicago Zine Fest, Chicago Alternative Comics Expo (CAKE), and other self-publishing events around the region! This month at our book club-style event for people who read zines, we’ll be talking about our favorite titles we’ve discovered at festivals. Zine newbies and longtime enthusiasts alike are welcome to join us for a fun discussion and snacks.

If you’d like to participate in our Mystery Zine Swap, bring a zine (concealed in some way) to trade with someone else on the spot!

This event will be led by Chicago Zine Fest organizer Cynthia E. Hanifin.

Free Event, Tues, June 25th, 7pm

Here at Quimby’s, 1854 W. North Avenue in Wicker Park

Tarot Readings by Sarah Luczko at Quimby’s March 4th

Mar ’19
4
7:00 pm

Quimby’s is proud to welcome tarot readings by Sarah Luczko, poet, dancer, performance artist, bookstore owner (Space Oddities, friend of Quimby’s), and Tarot reader. Her readings are down to earth, while still keeping one foot in the other world. Sarah grants her querents the autonomy and focus to produce their own reading through collaboration in working with the cards. She embraces the traveling tradition of party readings. She prefers to read in loud bars, outdoors, in a garden, at art openings, or anywhere away from more traditional settings. $20 per reading. Follow her on Instagram: @sluczko

Here’s the Facebook invite for this.

Monday, March 4th, 7-9pm
