TimeStamp: Zine Making Workshop
Thu, Oct 22 at 6:30pm · Somerville
Join us for a cozy evening of collage, creativity, and self-expression through handmade zines! ⋆˙⟡
We'll begin the evening at Bow Market, where we'll visit the photo booth to take photo booth portraits. The photo booth costs $8 per person, and you'll use your photos as the centerpiece of your handmade zine.
Afterward, we'll walk over to Remnant Brewing, where we'll settle in to create our zines together. I'll provide pre-folded zine templates designed to fit your photo booth strips, along with plenty of art supplies including stamps, old magazines for collage, stickers, markers, glue, paper scraps, and more.
Use your zine to capture your current season of life, your thoughts, memories, inspirations, favorite moments, or simply create something playful and artistic. There are no rules, and no art experience is necessary.
I'm asking for a $10 suggested donation to help cover the cost of materials, preparation, and facilitation. (Please also plan on spending $8 for the photo booth.)
Come make silly little zines with us ✨⋆˙⟡ ⋆.˚ ⊹₊⟡ ⋆RSVP Here

Electric Desi Rave Boston
Next Fri at 9pm · Cambridge
Boston, get ready to shuffle, jump, headbang and everything else you’d do at a rave, but with Desi music 👀
Who We Are:
We are not a “Bollywood event.”
We are a collective pushing boundaries and fusing rave culture with South Asian identity, built on music, energy, and community.
Whether you’ve been in the rave scene for years or you’re just stepping into it, this is a space to actually feel the music in a new way, not just hear it.
At the core of everything we do is PLUR — Peace, Love, Unity, Respect. It’s not just a slogan. It’s the standard we hold ourselves to. We look out for each other, respect the space, and make sure everyone around us feels safe and included.
We have zero tolerance for harassment, aggression, or anything that makes others feel unsafe. Anyone who disrupts the space will be removed immediately, no exceptions.
We genuinely care about the people in this room. We want you to feel free, safe, and fully present, and to leave with a night you’ll actually remember.
Welcome to Electric Desi 🫶🏽RSVP Here
