Get Ready for the first ABQ Zine Olympics, dreamt up by the one and only Billy McCall, Chicago transplant and Renaissance (Zinester) Man. This guy can do anything. Change his own transmission, deal Black Jack and write a zine that will break your heart. Invest in the fest and help realize Billy’s dream of the first-ever Zine Olympic Games, complete with gold, silver and bronze medals (spray painted staplers)!
We know . . . people have been speed stapling for . . . a while. But it’s precision that matters in these games. ABQ Zine Olympics elevates stapling to an art. Check out the link to Billy’s video below:
