come and read underground literature

The Rhizome Collective is hosting a benefit for The Austin Zine Library Saturday night. At one meetup, we discussed similarities between 'zines and Weblogs, so this project may be of interest to persons of blog throughout the Central Texas Austin area. Here's some information I pulled off the Library's Website:

WHAT: Austin Zine Library Benefit show at the library space. As of June 12th, this is who we have booked to perform:
BANDS: The Americans UK,Ok Beth, and The Quicks
READERS: Neal Pollack, Jef Burandt (of the Americans UK, and Twenty-Four Hours zine
WHERE: Rhizome Collective space 300 Allen St., Austin, Tx
WHEN: Saturday, June 28th, from 9pm-1am.
HOW MUCH: $5.00 suggested donation at the door. There will be beer, so bring your I.D.

I might add that I saw the Lost Film Festival tour at Rhizome this year, and I was quite impressed with their urban sustainability project out on the East side. If you have a passing interest in anarchy and voluntary simplicity, you should definitely check out the Rhizome space.

Finally, I ran across a 'zine library operating out of my former stomping grounds, Norman, OK. The Okie Dokie Zine Lending Library is perhaps the Netflix of 'zine culture, allowing users to check out 'zine by mail for one-month terms. I published a little 'zine called Au Jus when I lived in Norman, and it seemed to be greeted with bewilderment, so I'm glad to see someone in the Norm keeping the 'zine flame alive.
