Eglise Saint-Enfant Jesus (Montreal) - Nov 29-30
After 3 years of trying, Comicopia and Savage Enterprises Publishing *finally* got a table and attended ExpoZine!
I had been warned that the crowds at ExpoZine are really overwhelming and I will attest that the sheer number of people was insane! The location – although quite large – was definitely not enough.
There was a constant stream of activity, we were in a very good location, and we had plenty to chat about! I think the most amazing thing that struck both of us was how out of the thousands of folks who walked by and the hundreds of folks who stopped by and the dozens of folks who actually talked to us… only ONE person knew what an Apa was! Seriously! You would think that at a ZINE fair, more people would understand the concept behind a group of zinesters getting together to compile their zines into one book!
Here are some Photos from the Seventh Annual Small Press, Comic, and Zine Fair in Montreal. Click on any image to go into Gallery mode.

After a long day like today... coffee is just the right medicine!
