The time has come. We got sick of having to go through a big speech every time someone comes in and wants to hang their flyer or poster. We are proud to present an attractive list of rules that we can just refer people to in that area of the store. We have actually used the phrase, “Sir, if you can’t follow the rules in the pink frame then you can’t hang your poster here.”
Hey everyone, if you’re free Thursday night you should come up to Rogers Park here in Chicago and check this. It should be fun and interesting, and it’s totally free.
$100, a T-Shirt, and a Panel Discussion
Joe Biel of Microcosm Publishing and Boxcar Books will be showing his documentary film on zines, “$100 and a T-Shirt.” The film is a cultural analysis of what causes zine makers to tick; what the hell zines are, why people make zines, the origin of zines, the resources and community available for zine makers, and the future of zines. It features interviews with about 70 zine makers, ex-zine makers, and readers from the northwest.Following the film will be a panel discussion on zines featuring Liz Mason (Caboose Zine), Billy Roberts (Loop Distro & Proof I Exist), Kelsey Snell (The Machine Media), Al Burian (Burn Collector), Alicia Dorr (Random Life In Progress), and Aaron Cynic (Fall of Autumn/Diatribe Zine).
Thursday, April 12, 7 pm at Galvin auditorium in Sullivan Center on the campus of Loyola University (6339 N. Sheridan Rd. Chicago, IL, 60626 — note that we’re posting this on our blog but it’s NOT at Quimby’s.)

The 2200AD Poster just came in from Kevin Hooyman. His self published books Language Change and Themes of the Day have been constant sellers and for good reason not only can he draw but the writing has a nice mix of humor, wit and melancholy. He also just did the new !!! album cover, and while I can honestly say I have a love hate feeling towards their music, I bought the new album on record just for his amazing full color art work, each record is even in beautiful full color sleeves. So check him out and come by the store and get one these posters before they are gone-they are signed and numbered too!
Wow, new stuff updates are gonna be on Saturdays now. We have done a little schedule rotation so I am not in on Fridays to post up the list, but alas while you will have to wait an extra day. It means for the first time in a long time I can go get drunk and see lame art with the rest of the normal Chicago lunatics! Crazy!
