Philly Zine Fest 2010

So I attended my first zine festival EVER! With my little friend, Igor, too.
It was fun. And I also forgot my camera, of course. But I was there. Just ask all the cool new people I met and traded zines with yesterday. All their stuff is in this hobo suitcase right here.*


*This hobo suitcase, I think, freaked out an organizer, C.,  of the event b/c I was gonna totally DIY  sell my stuff out of this valise on a chair (yeah, because I'm that much of a cheap-ass mofo, maybe next time I'll just cough up the bucks to pay for half a table or something. I just have no shame about being ghettofabulous. It's just me.)  But C. was kind enough to offer me a small table on which this valise was perched so that it kept the event looking more "official." 

Anyway, I brought the little sick origami fishies and the zines that went inside them which were popular items. Also those colorful comic zines tucked into the suitcase pockets are the 2nd issue of "Let's Be Happy" which includes past comics I've posted on this blog. I really enjoyed trading them and will hopefully soon post reviews of favorite zines I've read/will read as a way to continue creative juices flowing since I'll be on a mini-sabbatical from publishing comics anytime soon. Gotta get on top of taking care of some real life happenings. Not sure when/where the next zine fest I'll participate will be, but I can't wait.

Until then, much love - Sassy Spinster
