Analog is all the rage right now (we see you reading a print newspaper!), but zines are nothing new. And this weekend at the SPC-Gibbs library, St. Pete Zine Fest<\/a> contributes to nearly 100 years of freaky, punk, gay-as-hell zine history. <\/p>\n

Homemade pubs started with sci-fi fans in the 1930s, hitting their stride for a couple of sweet decades from the 70s to 90s before we all got glued to screens.\u00a0<\/p>\n

St. Pete Zine Fest\u2019s third year of DIY creativity and symposiums, including around 60 local creators like The Sapphic Sun<\/a>, No Clubs Presents<\/a> and This Bookstore Kills Fascists<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There is no cover for St. Pete Zine Fest, happening Saturday, Feb. 21 in St. Petersburg. <\/a><\/p>\n
