Creating the Weekend Away

In case Issues and your local neighborhood newstands aren’t giving you your fix, the San Francisco Zine Fest is set to wreck havoc on the County Fair Building in Golden Gate Park this weekend. The free conference may bring back memories of high school-era stapled, cartooned creations. But presentations by the creators of Bitch and Bust magazines, among other independent publishing favorites, promise to make a trip through the park worthwhile. DIY screenprinting and watercolor illustration classes should brighten up the afternoons, and a partnership with the local Mission Creek Music & Arts Festival should give you enough fodder for your next issue.
