Eulogy of the Independent Zine
Step onto the hotel patio and into the world of DIY print at Eulogy of the Independent Zine, a high-energy night thrown by Glaze Zine Fest. This 21+ celebration turns Hotel Vegas into a living, breathing zine library with music, drinks, and a crowd that loves ink-on-paper as much as you do.
Every corner hums with creativity: tables packed with backstock, fresh releases, and handmade merch from Austin’s most exciting independent publishers. It’s part art show, part hangout, part love letter to physical media, with a rotating mix of performances and curated programming that keeps the night feeling electric and unpredictable.
