Rating: 5/5

Website: https://gsozinefest.com/

Income: ~$200. Traded about $50 worth of stuff on top of that

Expenses: Table was $35 for half of a 3ft table.

Provided: Half table, and two chairs. Free parking. Free cupcakes and coffee!

• The staff were great. They were going around looking at art, making sure we were OK, and refilling the water and food for everyone.
• The venue was cozy and fun, I loved the zines hanging from the ceiling.
• Speaking of water… water dispensed from a cooler, with options for cold, warm, and hot. It's great to just get up and get water for yourself!
• Cool artist culture, people trade and talk to each other, very supportive. People brought their own tables and chairs to share with each other!
• It's closer to us than Durham/Raleigh, 1 hr of travel vs 2 hours.
• Mostly print material, rather than mass-manufactured stuff like charms and pins. I like print material.
• Great inspiration for us to make a bunch of new zines! And great inspiration from seeing everyone else's work, zines can be anything…

• Small space with little air conditioning means it was a little warm. It wasn't HOT, but just a bit over room temperatuer. They did suggest bringing a personal fan, which we WERE GONNA but then we forgot to pack it in the trunk ahah.

Yes! I would like to bring more small objects like free stickers and mini zines to use the half-table space much better.
