Chicago Zine Fest

I've been planning this zine fest for months now with three friends and we finally have everything confirmed enough to start inviting people to come!!!

The set up goes like this:
Friday March 12th
Reading and Talking @ Quimby's bookstore (6:30-8)
Art show and Gadabout film fest @ Johalla Gallery (7-11)

Saturday March 13th
Exhibiting and Workshops @ Conoway Center at Columbia College (10-5)

It's going to be super fun, and we also need a lot of help with volunteers and getting the word out to people who would like to table. Let me know if you want to do any of this stuff. Or just come and have fun with us!!!

comic_jan19th

I had the best weekend hanging out with kids from Milwaukee and Columbus. I love hanging out with people who aren't worried about the kind of image they're giving off to everyone else constantly.

So, last year on New Year's Eve I did a one night zine about the past year. I didn't have time to do it on New Year's Eve this year, but I did decide to do a year in review zine again. It was nice to force myself a lot of what had happened over the past year--good and bad. Sometimes it's just easy to let time keep passing without really looking at what you've gained and lost from it. This zine "Where are you now?" is a look at just that what I accomplished, learned, lost, miss and had in 2009. If you would like an actual copy of it, please let me know and I we can work something out.

it's a happy new year

Happy New Years everyone. I've been busy busy with zine fest things. It's looking like it's going to really happen and on March 12th and 13th. I will let you know more when it's closer to the time.

I think the holidays makes everyone very reflective, thinking back on past years and how far you've progressed. I've been feeling really good about where I'm at right now, literally and figuratively, which is great. But things do always feel pretty temporary these days. So this is kind of sad, but really I'm feeling pretty good.

Happy new year everyone, I love you.
