Can’t WAIT to get this zine underway… I have so many amazing talented friends (such as Krishni! otherwise known as documentedhere and postcanvas !!) to collaborate with. On Friday we trekked down to Pilsen to attend the benefit concert for Chicago Zine Fest and it was incredibly inspiring in just about every way imaginable…
First of all, it was actually fun. After a rough Fall Quarter at Northwestern it felt good to be reminded that this city holds some pretty precious gems, and that good people still exist outside of my home in Michigan. Secondly the space in which this concert was held is incredible! Some truly prolific artist had adorned an entire wall with innumerable paintings, all of which were unique and beautiful on their own. Most importantly though, was how inspiring the music turned out to be. One piece in particular stuck with my friends and I as something that really captures the Occupy movement better than anything else. The band generously put it on the internet for free downloads and listens, so y’all ought to check it out here.
