Thyself, do it!

First Webzine DRINKUP!

If you’re near San Francisco this Wednesday July 6th, come join Webzine 2005 organizers for our first Webzine DRINKUP! This is an impromptu public gathering and we encourage anyone interested in speaking, attending, or criticizing the event to show up. The idea is to get interested zinesters & independent publishers in a room prior to the big event to meet, schmooze and ultimately be so blown away with how f*cking awesome everyone is, that it will be cake to convince friends in Norway & Mozambique to come to Webzine 2005 in September.

Come have a drink with us and learn more about what’s in store for Webzine 2005. Spread the word and prepare to liveblog, photoblog, podcast and vlog the event! Use tag: wz05drinkup0706

Webzine 2005 DRINKUP!

    Webzine 2005 Drinkup + Jonas’ Birthday

    Nothing like a last minute party invite. For those who didn’t know, Webzine is — not unlike Burning Man or WIRED — something that couldn’t have happened anywhere on the planet but here in San Francisco. Started in 1998 as…

NOW ONLINE: The Webzine Wiki

WEBZINE is a real world, face-to-face celebration of independent publishing on the Internet. It's part panel discussions and speakers, part workshops and much freeform collaboration, schmoozing and after-party boozing. The panel discussions aim to inspire, the workshops are hands-on forums of learning and the Master's Lounge is the unstructured place to share knowledge, ideas and URLs. DIY to its core, Webzine is rooted in zine culture and the love of making our own media.

INSPIRE: Panel Discussions & Speakers

Two days of panel discussions and presentations from speakers covering a micro gamut of the independent publishing landscape. Hear from people who are turning mainstream media on it's head through self-reporting, culture jamming, citizen journalism, experimenting with new forms of audio and video broadcasting and of course, sticking it to the Man.

LEARN: Workshops

Inspiration becomes creation when you make the tools and tricks work for you. Learn from leaders and creators of open source publishing tools, podcasts and video blogs. Step it up a notch by learning how to tailor your message, perfect your content with proper internet architecture and this new thing called microformats.

SHARE: Master's Lounge

We would be lying to you horribly if we tried to tell you that we've covered everything and everyone there is to know in the world of independent online publishing. The Lounge is a place where you can share your ideas, project, URL or whatever you happen to be working on with fellow allies and future friends. This area will be an open, self-selecting and self-scheduled space equipped with a digital projector and a round table. Gather 'round and exchange knowledge and contact info.

Webzine 2005 is Accessible

Online tickets for Webzine 2005 went for an amazingly low price of $22 for the whole shebang. Day passes were $13 in advance. That's less than 1% the cost of some other well known annual conferences, all without the guilt, grime or starch.
