Zine Night I

Published Categorised as Zines No Comments on Zine Night I

On Tues­day night we had our first ZIne Night at the Cowley Club. Hope­fully it’s going to be a monthly event. The first one was small and quiet, because we didn’t have time to organ­ise much, but it’s better to build ourselves up, than try to prom­ise the world from the outset. We had a table with zines from attendees for swap­ping or selling, a cake, and a bar, and read­ings.

First we had Alex, talk­ing about Stolen Sharpie Revolu­tion, and doing some zine read­ings, one about return­ing to Salt Lake City after many years, and the “don’t you have a man at home to shave for?” awkward drinks story.

Wes reading
Then we had Wes, who kindly came down specially for the event. He read a story about cuckoos, which he is using as his entry for the Glaston­bury Bard compet­i­tion. If he wins, he gets a fancy chair and everything. After that, my camera battery ran out.

Then we had me & Toby read­ing some bits (we had press-ganged ourselves to fill up the lineup) and Robb gave a talk about his zine library, and how it managed to survive through Hurricane Katrina.

Then we had veget­ari­an Mexic­an food, which of course bore no rela­tion to what the amer­ic­ans were expect­ing, but was tasty, and the cafe has the nicest man in the world work­ing there.
