DC: Inaugural Zinefest this Saturday!

I took a bloggie break, needed more outdoors and real life interactions with this beautiful but oppressively hot summer we're having. But I'm back! Expect periodic updates and such, however I'm realizing the time consuming nature of the internets, and like to find a healthy balance.

That being said, if you're craving non-electronic, real live human interactions, and should probably get the fuck away from a computer for a couple hours, please come out this Saturday to the DC Zinefest!!!

I've never done a zine, but I know people that do. And 10 out of 10 agree that it's awesome, cathartic, expressive, enforces DIY culture, and creates community. I'm all for that, and I enjoy reading them!

So come by St. Stephen's Church from 11AM-5PM and pick up some zines, talk with the writers and artists, take a zine-making, art, or bike maintenance workshop and share some skills.

Best of all, it's totally FREE!

Also- word is there will be delicious vegan treats for purchase by the talented and adorable Shannon from the DC CLITFest crew!
One word: VEGANCHOCOLATEDONUTS.

Peep the workshops available!

Check out the full list of zines and distros tabling!
