AK Press at the San Francisco Zine Fest
This past weekend, AK had the pleasure of tabling at the annual SF Zine Fest in Golden Gate Park (in the same building where the Bay Area Anarchist Bookfair is held, actually!).
We had a great time meeting and talking to lots of the people who showed up to check out (as well as sell, trade, etc.) zines, books and crafts. And, while we may have been too busy behind the table to attend any of them, we got to hear about the numerous great workshops geared toward fostering creativity within the DIY community.
We also got to debut some of our newer published titles and distro items, like Direct Action, The Coming Insurrection, and the new edition of perennial favorite Stolen Sharpie Revolution!

We were lucky enough not only to share a room with tons of great local and not-so-local friends—including Microcosm Publishing, PM Press, and Paul Barron—but to share a row of tables with the Rad Dad and our close friends and neighbors 1984 Printing.
Also, Lorna picked up this incredible print by artist Sarah Oleksyk:

Because it reminded her of this guy:

All in all, it was a fun couple of days, as usual. If you missed it this year, be sure to check back next summer— the Zine Fest rolls around every August! And if you’re looking for more AK event action (who isn’t, really?), be sure to sign up to receive our Bay Area or national events emails.
