STAPLE! The Independent Media Expo

About Me

STAPLE! is event to promote independent creative media: comics, mini-comics, zines, art, and self-published literature. Building a community to encourage communication between creators and their audience. All the while having a damn good time in the Live Music Capital of the World - Austin, TX.

The fourth annual expo will be Saturday, March 1, 2008 at The Monarch Event Center in Austin. 11am - 7pm. Admissions is 5 bucks at the door.
