Saturday, February 21st sure was a memorable evening here at Quimby’s. Living Proof zinester Andrew Mall asked his girlfriend to marry him during his reading! And she said yes! Thanks to Aaron Cynic of Diatribe Media and Billy Da Bunny Roberts of Loop Distro for organizing and hosting a good ol’ fashioned Old School Zine Reading featuring Matt Fagan (Meniscus), ReyRey (Stream of Consciousness) and more!
I know many of you are fans of the little bookmarks we make with illustrations by different artists, so without further ado I introduce our newest bookmark designed by Leif Goldberg. For those of you unaware of Leif’s work he is the brain behind National Waste, maker of those awesome silk screened calendars we get every year, and one of the mighty muscles behind the infamous Paper Rodeo. So next time your in the store scoop one up and keep your collection complete!
I wonder if any of you can name all the artists who have made bookmarks for us?
Well its been a little while but the post office has increased the rates on priority mail again so Quimby’s has had to follow suite and raise our shipping charges. So for delivery within the contiguous USA Quimby’s shipping charges are now:
It’s true! Steve Heisler conducted a silly interview with a Quimby’s staff member written up on the Onion-related website, chicago.decider.com, in their Defend Your Taste section here. And we talked about one of our favorite best-sellers: Roy Orbison in Clingfilm, which you can purchase here!
Saturday January 3rd 7PM
Join us for an evening of storytelling! Come see short animations, hear live radio plays, check out zines and books from the Ocean State, lil’ Rhody! Jo Dery will show several short animated films and Walker Mettling will read and perform stories and radio plays from the new audio issue of his zine “The Sparkle.” Get your hands on the recently published book by Jo Dery, titled Quietly Sure – Like the Keeper of a Great Secret (Little Otsu, publisher).
