On Wednesday we had a party at ABC No Rio.
Our pals from Jersey City’s Curious Matter gallery set up a mini-version of their amazing Parisian-style mobile zine and chapbook kiosk, Le Bouquiniste. (They also snapped these photos.)
Our zine was hot off the presses that afternoon. Lightning Copy on 42nd Street was the best! But with Mercury being retrograde and all, it was still a close...
