Zine Fest — Really quick

Just a few words about the Chicago Zine Fest I kind of went to but didn't:

1. Chicago is awesome. I can't get over it. I spent two and a half days there and thoroughly enjoyed myself.
2. Zinesters are the most interesting bunch of people you could ever meet.
3. I managed to give out 12/30 of my zines to people I doubt I will ever see again, and I'm almost jumping with joy because of that. And I managed to do that without making it to the actual zine fest on Saturday, but instead to the awesome after party.
4. There were five more people than I expected (expectation: 0) who walked dogs for a living and had a serious passion for it.
5. Kuma's Corner is totally worth an hour and a half wait.
6. Getting lost in Chicago strengthen's your knowledge of the public transportation system.
7. Google Maps lies to you and smiles about it.
8. Sometimes, bars play Adult Swim TV shows (read: Robot Chicken) on their big screens which means they get a better tip.
9. Amanda Stevenson and I have no sense of direction... ever.
