Why is Brooklyn so awesome? Part one.

By Lindsay Gibb

Recently, in the BP office, we've noticed an interesting trend. Most of the objects that come through and make us go "wow" lately seem to be from Brooklyn. Hence why this is part one. I have a feeling there will be more to come from us on the subject of Brooklyn.

But for now, I'd like to tell you about the latest thing this borough has done to make us do a double take: a mini zine fair in a candy store. Pete's Mini Zine Fest is a free zine fair held in Pete's Candy Store (709 Lorimer Street, Williamsburg). The small event - which takes place from 3-7pm Saturday,  July 31 - will feature 20 exhibitors, bookmaking workshops by Esther K Smith, and performances from local bands (and candy, I'm sure). Attendees will find zines such as Hoax Zine, Absent-Cause and I Love Bad Movies. For a full list of participants, check the Facebook event page.
