Zine Queens (and Kings) At heart, the best approach to making a zine is to have an idea and put it on paper. But even in the free-for-all world of self-publishing, the creative process isn't always so simple. "Underground Publishing: The Zine Machine" brings together a bunch of S.F. zine mavens -- including folks from Anything That Moves, Factsheet Five, Fat Girl, Funny That Way, and Street Sheet -- for a panel discussion about issues, voices, and the practicalities of DIY publication. The idea and information exchange lasts from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Media Alliance, 814 Mission, S.F. Free (registration suggested); call 546-6491.
