Today was a mini Crest Hardware reunion at the new store space. Patrick, Angus & Jen! Angus is doing the jack-of-all-trades for me and Jen is gonna help get the garden cleared and ready for winter. So great to have the gang together again.

Yesterday’s Mini Zine Fest at Pete’s Candy Store was another big success. We had a great collection of zinesters, a big crowd of fans and gorgeous weather. Couldn’t ask for more.

Happy #1 Anniversary to our terrifying, shocking neighbors The Twisted Spine! I picked up a biography of Edward Gorey. This place is a gem, a bloody, sickening gem. And the coffee’s delicious.

Carrie McLaren is back in the Zine game with the first issue of Ape S**t. She also brought us several issues of her legendary zine Stay Free, which was published here in Brooklyn from 1993-2008. We always love to see classic zines and share them with you.

Campaign Title: KEEP QUIMBYS IN WILLIAMSBURG!!

Help keep one of New York’s only homes for all things weird in the neighborhood. The incomparable purveyors of your favorite zines, artists’ books, jewelry, art and independent publishing- nobody does it like Quimbys NYC. 

Last year, Williamsburg showed what happens when a community refuses to let an independent cultural institution disappear. Now, Quimbys needs that community. (Link in bio)
