Support DIY Publishing at SF Zine Fest This Weekend

The Bay's best newsletter for underground events & news

Love at first Xerox

Hey, would you look at that? Print media’s not dead, it’s just gone small-scale. If things like Indie Mart and Etsy can renew the public’s interest in lovingly-crafted stuffed animals and recycled jewelry, why can’t someone do the same for all those things we’d rather read on paper than on a computer screen?

This year marks SF Zinefest’s 9th year celebrating litmags, fanzines, comics and anything else that deserves to be put down on a piece of paper and xeroxed. Think about that: 9 years is longer than some magazines have managed to last. So whether you’re looking to start the next Broke-Ass publishing house or you just like to treat your reading material like some people treat rare records, then perusing the aisles this weekend at the SF County Fair Building in Golden Gate Park seems like a good way to spend an afternoon.

SF Zine Fest
Saturday & Sunday, September 4-5
11am – 6pm
SF County Fair Building (formerly Hall of Flowers)
9th Ave at Lincoln Way [Golden Gate Park]

Andrew Dalton - Aggressive Panhandler

Andrew is an East Coast transplant from Virginia hamming it up in San Francisco without any intention of leaving. Having worked every typical job from Bike Shop Employee to Bartender to Ad Agency Hotshot, to Dotcom Layoff he now busts his ass covering the "weird things to do" beat for gracious local audiences at SFAppeal.com and rallies the Western Addy/Lower Haight/Panhandle neighborhoods into action at AggressivePanhandler.com. His work was published in a real, paper magazine one time. One day he might even figure out how to make money from it.
