How great that you wrote this, Chia!

It was a really great program. The talented community members that Chia spoke of are Chelsea Baker- comic artist, comic pimp at Danger Room, and writer of such zines as "Chicken of the Sea" and "Cheap Eats;" Zach Mandeville of Bryce's Barbershop and "Funwater Awesome" zine fame; and Nicki Sabalu- writer, activist, free schooler, food not bombs-er, and writer of the fabulous "Crescent City Stories" zine. Really, the whole thing was awesome.
