The San Francisco Zine Fest will be back for our seventh annual celebration of small press, zines, comics, and all things DIY in an even bigger and better new location: The San Francisco County Fair Building, in Golden Gate Park. As always, the Zine Fest is free and open to the public! Over 100 small-press and DIY creators will be selling, trading, and otherwise sharing their work with over a thousand attendees. The Zine Fest serves as a vital annual showcase of the diversity, vitality, and ongoing exuberance of the small-press movement. The exhibitors range from established small-press publishing houses including RE/Search Publications, Manic D Press, Sparkplug Comics, and Tugboat Press to first time self-publishers and creators. Writers, cartoonists, crafters, illustrators, printmakers, and all manner of artists will be in attendance. While the majority of the exhibitors hail from the Bay Area, creators from across the West Coast and beyond will be represented. Our special guests this year are Cindy Crabb (Doris) and Vanessa Davis (Spaniel Rage). Q & A sessions will be held with both guests at the Zine Fest. Hands-on workshops, panels, and much more are scheduled throughout the weekend, along with readings and more throughout the week! sfzinefest at gmail.com Sat, 19 Jul 2008 07:00:00 +0100 http://www.thirdthursdays.org/2008/07/19/tea-and-chocolate-pairings-with-teance <br />While tea and chocolate have both been important culinary indulgences throughout the ages, they have typically been savored individually. The combination of tea and chocolates, particularly Asian teas, has never been fully explored in the chocolate world - until now. After months of tea and chocolate selection pairings and tastings, a special collaboration between Charles Chocolates and Teance Fine Teas resulted in the creation of our exclusive collection of tea infused chocolates. Now you can join us in exploring the pairing of chocolate and tea in our monthly Tea and Chocolate Pairing classes. In partnership with Teance Fine Teas, we will sample a variety of hand crafted chocolates by Charles Chocolates and pair them with teas sourced and selected by Teance Fine Teas. We will discuss the techniques and nuances of selecting pairings to create a harmonious balance between chocolate and tea. Cost: $20 per person Dates: Saturday, July 19th, 3:30-4:30pm.
