ANTIGRAVITY MAGAZINE'S
Alternative Media Expo
This Saturday is the Alternative Media Expo, presented by Antigravity Magazine, and the New Orleans Craft Mafia will be there in full force! We're sponsors of this event, but what does that mean to you? It means you should get there early, because the first 150 paid attendees will be receiving some pretty awesome and totally FREE swag bags put together by yours truly.
These bags have been a big hit in previous years and they always get snatched up fast, because not only do you get a cool tote bag, it comes loaded with goodies from like-minded alternative media types, including all of your favorite Craft Mafiosos. For a sneak peek at what you could get your hands on, check out this cool mini stencil art from art by mags! that will be in the bags:
The 2009 Expo will feature over 100 exhibitors with 'zines, comics, films, crafts, photography and handmade clothing, independent record labels and artists with CDs and records, indie and grassroots organizations, filmmakers and much more!
The Expo will take place on Saturday, March 21, 2009, from noon - 6pm at the warehouse at the Contemporary Arts Center (900 Camp Street) in New Orleans, LA. The admission fee for this all-ages event will be $5. Be sure to attend NOLA's biggest alternative event of the year, and stop by and say hi to all of us!
