Updated 2006-03-07: I changed the image to link to the new version of the flyer. Make sure and read Stevyn’s comment for the time and place.
I don’t know if I’ll be able to make it, but the Denver Zine Library and others are sponsoring the Denver Zine Fest on Saturday March 11 from 10-6 at More Matters Studios, 2132 Market St., Denver. Exact time and location are still to be announced.
We have a small zine collection at Tutt Library; I hope we’ll be able to buy a lot of Colorado zines at the zine fest to start growing the collection. At the very least we plan to send a flyer letting zinesters know that we are looking to buy their stuff for the collection.
If you aren’t familiar with zines, the Wikipedia entry for zine is as good a place as any to start. If you kids are good, someday I’ll tell you how I was a zinester long before I was a blogger.

Hi,
here are a few more details:
http://www.denverzinefest.com
Just wanted to let you know how excited we are to report that we will be
holding the 1st annual, Denver Zine Fest on Saturday, March 11th from
10-6. We are having the fest at the More Matters Studios, at 2132
Market Street on Saturday, March 11th, from 10-6.
A zine is any small press publication that is self-published, and most
of the time photo-copied. Usually they have small press runs, and are
about a social, political, personal, or artistic subject. Zine is an
abbreviation of magazine. If you are interested in learning how to make
your own zine, or want to trade, or sell yours – please come to our
Fest. This is a free event – to both vendors and attendees.
We are also having various workshops, such as how-to silkscreen, how to
make a video documentary, how to do book-binding, and also a
demonstration on the letter-press. Please come on down, and spend a day
browsing, and chatting to creative zinesters who are sharing their work.
We have people coming from New York, Cleveland, Fort Collins, Colorado
Springs, Denver and many more locations
