The NYC Zine Fest 09 is this coming weekend: June 27th and 28th at the Brooklyn Lyceum. This is what the organizers have to say for themselves:

The mission of the NYC Zine Fest is to circulate and promote independent, homemade, self-published, and small publications. We aim to support and expand the network of creators who self-publish zines in and outside of the NYC metro area. The Fest will connect artists, writers, and collectors of zines and further the NYC zine community through a two-day annual series of events, including tabling, workshops, presentations and parties. The NYC Zine Fest '09 will celebrate and highlight the spirit of Do-It-Yourself (DIY) culture that zines represent.

The Center for Book Arts will have a table at the event and will be doing a bookmaking workshop at 1:30 pm Saturday. Come down and say hello and check out the best of NYC independent publishing!
