Bloggin out and San Francisco Zinefest

Everyone seems to be doing this blogger thing. I guess that is the trend. I guess its cool. I guess I could try it. Anyway, I will try to stick to the subject. POESY #36 was a complete success. Erika King did an amazing job as guest editor with her creative mind and approach to poetry. I know she will go far in the poetry world. It was nice having a co-conspirator.

This past weekend I attended the San Francisco Zine Fest. It was quite impressive. The last time I went, it was at Cellspace in the Mission District of San Francisco. This year it was at the San Francisco County Fair Building in Golden Gate Park. There seemed to be much more traffic and participation. I hope they can keep up the momentum next year too. A decent stack of POESY's were sold consisting of the current #36 and of course, the Diane di Prima issue (#25) went pretty fast.

I shared a table with Christopher Robin from Zen Baby. Here's a couple pics…
