The Brooklyn Zine Fest

I loved the way the text looked on the page.
Had to buy it. 25 cents.

It was surprising and nice to know that the printed word still means something to someone somewhere. We checked out the Brooklyn Zine Fest at the Brooklyn Lyceum this past weekend. Yes, I was inspired. So was my husband who used to produce a zine back in the good old days. Lots of like-minded people in one place. Writers and artists who have something to say, and who are earnest enough to self-publish and distribute, and who know their way around a copy machine. I was going to buy a simple three-fold treatise called Peanut Butter Pamplet, but the artist gave it to me for free. It was a good read, and one of my favorite topics. Peanut Butter. I bought two other tracts for 25 cents a piece because I liked the postage stamp size and the images on the page. Admittedly, I was attracted to the more visual works.
