For Your Calendar: The New Golden Era of Zines

By Jason Diamond on

It makes sense that zines became a big part of the punk-rock movement in the late 1970s, because like punk rock, zines are tough to define. The definition given by Wikipedia to explain zines is even a bit murky: “most commonly a small circulation self-published work of original and/or appropriated texts and images usually reproduced via photocopier.” … Read More

Flavorpill Guide to the Week’s Top 10 LA Events

By Tanja M. Laden on

Craig Ferguson once said, “I do love America, and LA is a very short commute to America. It’s, like, half an hour on the plane.” It’s true, too; California is like a country of its own, one with the eighth largest economy in the world. Here in Los Angeles, that means a wide array of adventures — from surfing and sun-worship to hiking, skiing, and city-based happenings — but it can all get a little overwhelming at times. Enter Flavorpill’s beautiful new city-based culture guide — an open platform where anyone can create and share local happenings. Follow events from the entire community, including suggestions from Flavorpill’s very own editors and curators. Below are our own recommendations for this week, hand-picked by yours truly, aka Managing Editor of Flavorpill Los Angeles. Enjoy, and don’t forget to check out the new Flavorpill. We hope to see you there. … Read More
