Thyself, do it!

Friday night kick off party

Party @ Jackson's

Webzine is a mere 4 days away, but whose counting? Please join us this Friday night for the official Webzine 2005 kick off party at the Cafe Du Nord, sponsored by our friends at SFist. Webzine attendees will get in free from 8-10pm. Find your favorite SFister once you enter and grab some of those coveted drink tickets. Schmooze, booze and get jiggy with DJs Karen and DJ Rock Foxy of Touch Me I’m Sick.

If you have registered for Webzine, you’re already on the guest list. If you haven’t gotten your tix yet, then what are you waiting for? Online ticket sales end Thursday night at 8pm, so get ‘em now while they’re still $22 for the weekend. If you just can’t make it to Webzine, but you want to come party with us anyway, send us an RSVP and we’ll add you to the Friday night party guest list.

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.
