Introducing two new additional ✨⭐️GOLD SPONSORS⭐️✨for 2026:
Microcosm Publishing
and Chrome Industries!

We’re so psyched about these two incredible brand new sponsors for 2026!

✨⭐️ GOLD SPONSOR: Microcosm Publishing ⭐️✨
We love zines, we love books, and we love our newest sponsor, Microcosm Publishing.
Based in Portland, Oregon, Microcosm is an independent publisher and distributor of really cool literature.
From zines about How Not To Get Arrested at a Demonstration to a book about the Insane Clown Posse Juggalos, Microcosm has it all, even books you didn’t know you needed.

✨⭐️ GOLD SPONSOR: Chrome Industries ⭐️✨
Since 1995, Chrome has made high quality bike gear that is built to last in any weather condition.
St. Louis summer humidity and heat? Ice storm and snow? That one Fall day that the weather isn’t too hot and isn’t too cold? Chrome bags can handle it all, and has the cool factor everybody likes. Perfect for commuting or the farmer’s market, and it’s both tough and attractive.

Not only is their food and vibe amazing, but this place is committed to good in the neighborhood. Thank you Pizza Head for the great pizza & immaculate vibes. 🍕 ✨
