So, what kind of event do you want to put on?

For many of us in the DIY community, the first thing that comes to mind when you're talking about an event is a show/concert. A pretty big portion of us got into all this stuff through our interest in punk/hardcore. Still, music isn't everything to everybody, and there are plenty of other things that can be just as enriching and we're going to do our best to not make this zine limited to "how to put on a punk show." There's a lot more to making a vibrant community and culture than just having a lot of concerts.

Do you like lists? Here's a list of the kinds of things that you can put on:

• shows/performance art & theater/puppet theater/movie nights/misc entertainment

• art shows, fashion shows

• workshops/skillshare/lecture/meeting/discussion group/reading

• craft night/stitch n' bitch/zine party

• game night - 4 square/D&D/board games/sardines/etc

• bicycle events – scavenger hunt/bike polo/rides/races/fixgear

• potlucks/dumpster iron chef/secret cafes/bbqs/food not bombs

• clothing swaps/free box party/ swap meet/ bazaar/auctions/really really free market, etc

• outdoor events – bon fires, hikes, etc
