I stumbled upon the Street Cat Zine Fest (URL, Facebook) in Chillicothe, Ohio on the zinelove chat Facebook group (a great group with a distinctly international flair).

The most amazing review of Strange Times #2
Being a member of the United Fanzine Organization co-op is a joy. Honest, it is. At it’s core, it does two things: 1. Provides a vehicle for members to mutually promote each others’ works, and 2.
