Zine Fest Houston (formerly known as The Houston Comix and Zine Festival) is an event dedicated to promoting zines, independent/ small press comics, minicomics, and other forms of self-publishing and independent, alternative, underground and diy media & art.
It is also a grassroots attempt to build the local zine, self-publishing and comics scenes and form networks with comics and zine creators in other areas.
Admission is free and free table space is available for zinesters, cartoonists, writers, artists, publishers and distros.
The festival is a new and different experience every time, offering a new crop of zines and comics every year (including many never before seen anywhere else) and other unique sights (such as a live chicken manning one of the exhibitor tables during our first festival).
The goal of the event is for attendees to not only discover new zines, but also to be inspired to create their own diy projects.
In addition to Zine Fest Houston, we also help to organize zine and comics exhibitions during the semi annual Westheimer Block Party and promote other zine, comics and DIY events in the area.

Who I'd like to meet:
Zinesters, cartoonists, writers, artists, readers, diy-ers, publishers, distros, printers, other organizations. Bands interested in performing at the zine fest. Anyone interested in attending, exhibiting at, or helping plan/ organize/ promote the event. Venues interested in hosting future events.
