24hr zine challenge kick off -- WED JULY 28!

Happy International Zine Month!

To celebrate, the Toronto Zine Library is participating in the 24 hour zine challenge and we would love for you to join us! We are hosting a kick off event this Wednesday, July 28th starting at 6pm and going strong until the Tranzac Club closes.


What is the 24 hour zine challenge, you ask?
A yearly event where one attempts to make a 24 page zine from start to finish in 24 hours. From initial idea right through to photocopying/collating/stapling your zine. More information, list of this year's participants and sign up can be found here: http://24hourzines.com/

(Please note that you dont *have* to register and/or send your zine in when its finished. We encourage you participate to whatever degree you are most comfortable with. Or, you are welcome to just come and hang out at the TZL and cheer participants on!)


Bring your ideas and if youre able a snack to share while we hang out, listen to music, and get a start on our 24 hour zines! Some supplies will be available (paper, glue, scissors, magazine clippings, a couple of typewriters, a long arm stapler) but please do bring your favourite or necessary zine making supplies. Conveniently, there is a 24 hour Kinkos a half-block away!

Also, similar to the event folks at the Independent Pubishing Resource Center (http://www.iprc.org/) in Portland Oregon held a few days ago, we will be streaming our 24 hour zine challenge event live! If you're unable to join us, bookmark http://www.ustream.tv/channel/toronto-zine-library-24hr-zine-challenege and tune in on Wednesday starting at 5pm EST and participate alongside us from wherever you may be.

The Rainbow Connection: Richard Hunt, Gay Muppeteer

This event is on Monday, July 5, from 7-9pm. Please come!

"The Rainbow Connection: Richard Hunt, Gay Muppeteer" chronicles the life and work of Richard Hunt, a central puppeteer on the international blockbusters Sesame Street and The Muppet Show. Hunt performed characters such as Scooter, Statler (in the balcony), Janice, Beaker and even Miss Piggy in her early drag queen days. He was also an out gay man, dying of AIDS-related causes in 1992 at the tragically young age of 40.

A multimedia event presented by Jessica Max Stein, the author of the zine (and soon-to-be full-length biography) The Rainbow Connection: Richard Hunt, Gay Muppeteer.

As with all TZL events, it is free and all-ages, but space is limited!

Introducing new summer hours

Starting next week:

Sundays 1-3 pm

Tuesdays 6-8 pm

WTF Wednesdays 6-8 pm
(women and trans folk space)
