Staple: Independent Media Expo

Interested in getting the low-down on those artsy, creative types? Well head on over to Staple, Austin's own Indy Media Expo. They outgrew their space from last year and this year's event is happening at the Red Oak Ballroom in Northcross Mall. Featuring over 50 exhibitors and a great panel lineup, it looks like this year's Staple will be quite impressive. The event promotes independent creative media: comics, mini-comics, zines, art, and self-published literature. They also strive to build the bond between artist and audience. Special guests include Tony Millionaire, Jim Mahfood, Dave Crosland, and Keith Knight.
