Chicago Zine Fest
This festival housed hundreds of zines—mini magazines and craft books that are self-designed and published. Two floors of local organizations and writers were present alongside others from around the country and the world. Publications ranged from personal stories to mini-comics. The weekend of events included panels, workshops and even karaoke, and attendees mingled with the zine creators themselves. Don’t fret if you missed it—the organizers have begun planning for the upcoming 2012 fest.
