Tomorrow Night's Zine Party
Zines zines zines. People like them so much better than blogs now. They're like artisanal local blogs. They're the organic watercress of the larger cabbage family that is self-publishing. THIS particular zine is getting a launch party tomorrow night (that's Wednesday, November 16th) at the totally adorable Other Music, from 7 to 9 p.m. Um, Tao Lin will be DJing, so… enter at your own risk. (But then so will the awesome Victor Vazquez!) The people-adverse (technically, yes, -averse, but I like the idea of being people-unfavorable!) among us can just stay home and order the zine here; more info here.) N.B. There is no refund available if the self-described "perfect zine" is regarded as "not perfect" by the reader. (Or you can send those $12 to Occupy Wall Street. Something something bread and roses!)
You mean “-averse.”
@joeclark Special Joe Clark update made for you!!!
A launch party for a zine? I gather this isn't just a photocopied and stapled job then?
"those $12" vs. "that $12": discuss. (I and the AP Style Guide say that!)
sent from my Xerox Workcentre 3220
I'll be there, visibly shaking near the bar!
The Museum of Eterna's Zine
The guy who apparently runs this (or just contributed?) ran a tumblr called "Pitchfork Reviews Reviews" that was, despite what you might derive from the title, a fairly earnest critique of Pitchfork Media's tics and tendencies. Had a fairly pretty okay take on the Salem problem last year.
I considered dropping the $12 to get the zine, seeing as how Choire and various other folks I am aware of were featured, but I got this instead – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5PB38ZRApE
Seriously though, RIP zines
