Zine Readings feat. Michel Valdez of School Daze Zine, 2/16/06
2/16/06 Zine Readings feat. Michel Valdez of School Daze Zine, DZL, 7pm
Michel Valdez is coming to Denver to remind us how ridiculous elementary school can be. This zinester from LA will be reading from School Daze, a zine about his experiences as a teacher’s assistant. In it, he describes not only what he teaches the students but also what he’s learned: “You haven’t lived until you’ve been stabbed repeatedly in the leg with a number two pencil.”
And… breaking into the local zine scene, support Denver zinesters Anna Inazu (behind wire fences), Shannon Perez-Darby (From Here To There And Back Again…) and Andie Lyons (Already Too Much; Never Enough). Also reading is veteran zinester, Kelly Shortandqueer (Shortandqueer).
