[Imc-events] Indy Publishing/Bookmaking Weekend!

[Paul Riismandel]

It's an Indy Publishing and Bookmaking Weekend at the IMC, featuring a 
visit from the Bookmobile Project.

The Bookmobile is a 25-ft long vintage airstream trailer chock full of 
zines, artists' books, handmade books, journals and other indie 
publications.  It'll be parked on Main St. in front of the IMC Friday and 
Saturday.

In concert with the Bookmobile visit we have lots of cool events lined up 
for you!  You're especially invited to participate in the workshops and 
discussions on Saturday.  If you've ever dreamed of making your own zine, 
book or journal this is your opportunity to find out more and take your 
first step.

The Bookmobile is a non-profit project traveling across North America, and 
so we're asking that you donate some money ($1 - $1000) to the project to 
help keep it going and to say "thanks" for stopping through Urbana (hey, 
they're coming here INSTEAD of Chicago, because so many interested people 
from Urbana contacted them!)  There will be a donation box set up at the 
IMC, or you can give your donation to Paul Riismandel or Sarah Kanouse 
who've coordinated the weekend.

Here's the schedule of events:
