We have just be reminded that the 4th annual zine fest is happening this weekend. The organizers ask that you come prepared to mix and mingle, trade your wares and hang out! It's a chance to meet some cool publishers and make new friends/connections. If you are feeling shy Lynne Lowe suggests find her for a chat. She comments that she will be easy to spot...

Directions:
From Southern California:
Northbound on Hwy. 101 and exit ramp Hwy 217 (Airport/UCSB). The Hollister Ave. exit appears moments later to your right. Exit there and take another right onto Hollister at the signal. Move over to the left-hand lane. The enter is two blocks away. You’ll pass a car dealership on your left and the center is just a few seconds from it. Take a left turn.
From Northern California:
Southbound on Hwy. 101 to Goleta - exit at Fairview Ave., turn right. Continue until you hit Hollister Avenue, then turn left. Move into the right lane. Continue straight for 4-5 blocks and the center will be on your right.
Look for a big red 1950s schoolhouse with a white gazebo in front on the lawn. There will be colourful zine fest signs posted everywhere! There is plenty of free parking in the front/rear of the center."
