Work In Progress Get-Together

May ’10
26
7:00 pm

We launched our new monthly working get-togetherhere at Quimby’s, which is called Work In Progress. At the first one, we had some wonderful folks sharing what they’re working on and hangin’ out withus. Comics, zines, poetry and fiction were represented, and we enjoyed snacks. Won’t you join us again on Wednesday, May 26th at 7pm?

Event!

Work In Progress is from 7-8:30pm on the last Wednesday of the month.  You can bring your current project and work on it in a social atmosphere.  If you’re looking for critiques or advice, you can get it from fellow attendees.  If you just want somewhere outside of your dark basement apartment to work on that new zine, this is the event you want to go to.

If you’re looking to meet more folks in the city who are making fun stuff, stop by!  We’re hoping this monthly series will become a positive space for self-publishers and other creative types here in Chicago.

Spread the word: Work In Progress at Quimby’s, the last Wednesday of every month!

Feelin’ Sappy?
