Rafael DelaGarza WILL BE tabling with Vi/ZiNE at Mini Zine Expo San Antonio!
1. What’s the history of Vi/ZiNE and who is it? ummm Steven Flores smoked a lot of weed in high school where he was filming/editing a lot of skateboarding videos and had a dream of making a Video Magazine that just wouldn’t cover skateboarding but music and art and whatever else he wanted. So flash to a few years later in the winter of 2010 at a chipotle in san anto, tejas Steven met Diego and they both had a love for juice and everything in between. So along side with Steven’s girlfriend Laura (who both had already been doing videos under the name Movement Media) Diego joined the team to one day start a Video Magazine. After smoking even more weed one day they came up with Vi//ZiNE and a day to release their 1st Issue alongside the peeps who do Thursday showings of movies at Frankfurter Hot Dog Express. August 2nd, 2012, they released the 1st issue of Vi//ZiNE
2. What’s a video magazine? A video magazine follows the basic guidelines of a magazine but it’s all done with a video camera. ie; Interviews, segments, blah
3. What will be available on your table? Copies of our 2nd Issue, that is premiering October, 4th, 2012, and a few copies of our 1st issue. We will have a t.v. with our 2nd issue playing.
4. Is San Antonio receptive to Alt-literature? I believe San Antonio as a whole probably isn’t that receptive, but it’s like that everywhere, I mean or else it wouldn’t be called “Alt-literature”. But San Antonio is a huge city and with in that there is a lot of groups of people doing really cool things that are considered “alternative”. And there are moments where it seems that we are all coinciding together. Doing a lot of the same things, interacting at the same places, and involving each other in our own projects. And Vi//ZiNE aims to do exactly those things. Involving people we like and who we feel are doing cool things that should be known about across the city, and not just in a “alternative” sub group.
5. I was thinking about getting someone to run a kissing booth. Think that would go over well? Why stop there?
Check out the Vi/ZiNE #2 release party on Thursday October 4th at The Filling Station (San Anto)!
