Zine Club Chicago Online: You're In My World Now Edition with Special Guest Host Chris Sienko, August 24
Zine Club Chicago Online: You’re In My World Now Edition
with Special Guest Host Chris Sienko
7:30 p.m. CT Tuesday, August 24 on Zoom
Free!This month, Zine Club Chicago is really excited to welcome their first guest host, Chris Sienko! This zine enthusiast has been invited to lead a discussion about an intriguing theme he’s devised: Zines that take you into another world, especially through idiosyncratic writing or topics.
Many zines are created to convey information, whether they contain reviews, interviews, recipes, or travel dispatches. But sometimes, no matter the topic, you’ll find a zinemaker who just doesn’t follow any of the conventions of information delivery — they have a personal language of their own, their own shorthand or catchphrases that you don’t hear anywhere else. These types of zines are like a strange roadside attraction where you pull off to see something new and find a person who has created their own world and stored it in little glass jars and on display tables, offering you a glimpse for just a buck or two.
Grab your zines that are worlds unto themselves, BYOS(nacks), and join in on Zoom for Zine Club Chicago Online: You’re In My World Now Edition with Special Guest Host Chris Sienko at 7:30 p.m. CT August 24!
Chris Sienko has been writing about noise, music, and all the permutations in between for over 25 years. He’s the co-author of As Loud As Possible, a large-format noise zine published in 2010. He’s written for such print and online publications as Muckraker, Blastitude, Dead Angel, Vulcher, Fördämning, and the forthcoming third issue of a zine simply called “untitled.” He’s written liner notes and feature-length interviews for such bands and solo projects as Ceramic Hobs, Sudden Infant, Sewer Election, The Rita, Jason Crumer, and LHD. Chris covered experimental music performances in Chicago via the Gapers Block music site, Transmission from 2007 to 2015.
When not ruining his hearing, Chris is a movie buff and has hosted the Stiff-Legged Film Festival, an obsessive, endurance-defying, money-losing event out of his home since 2001, a high point being a three-weekend, fifty-film 1970s sci-fi dystopia fest in 2016. Chris lives in North Park with his wife, Wendy, a 15-minute walk from the NEIU campus and, hopefully soon, from screenings by the Chicago Film Society.
** Zoom info ** Zine Club Chicago wants to make sure that its events are a safe space, so the Zoom link won’t be released publicly. If you’d like to attend, please email zineclubchicago@gmail.com to RSVP by 9 p.m. CT Monday, August 23 (the day before the event). You’ll receive the Zoom link via email by 11 p.m. CT that evening.
Zine newbies and longtime enthusiasts alike are always welcome at Zine Club Chicago, the city’s only book club-style event for people who read zines. This free monthly series is produced by Chicago Zine Fest/Midwest Perzine Fest organizer Cynthia E. Hanifin and sponsored by Quimby’s Bookstore. Anna Jo Beck designs the club’s monthly flyers, created its logo, and made the Zine Club Chicago Shout-Outs site, where folks can peruse and recommend zines.
