SF Zine Fest

Just a note to our West Coast friends - San Francisco Zine Fest is this weekend, don't miss it! What an amazing line up they have this year, with special guests Cindy Crabb ("Doris") and Vanessa Davis ("Spaniel Rage"), along with workshops like bookbinding and screenprinting. Also, this year they're partnering with Mission Creek Music & Arts Festival, so take a break from zines and go listen to some music for a while too. Go to their website for all the details -San Francisco Zine Fest.

Good news, bad email

The good news is, we're moving back into the library this afternnon! I'm not sure when it'll be opened up to the general public, but this is definitely exciting, considering how many campus buildings are closed indefinitely. As far as I know, the flood waters didn't reach the first floor of the library so the Zine Machine is high and dry. Hooray for dry, un-moldy zines!

(This is how the book were moved upstairs, before we were all locked out.)

It's also been brought to my attention that emails to info@zinemachine.org have been bouncing back. I was wondering why no one's been writing to us! Anyways, that email account has always sucked so we're switching to zinemachine@gmail.com. They're being forwarded to this gmail account already, but soon we will cancel the info@zinemachine.org account completely.

We've received a few new submissions for the Zine Machine this summer, and keep them coming in - we won't restock the machine until late summer/early fall, but they will definitely make their way into the machine. Here are 2 to look forward to, from Art for a Democratic Society:
