And amuse yourself further by watching everyone get totally lost trying to find 601 Newbury!

It's such an obscure block that Google doesn't have a street view. The satellite map for that address puts me in the middle of a parking lot; maybe it's been built on since Google's satellite last looked?

We definitely plan on having loads of signage that weekend! :)

The street view is a bit odd - the building is at the back of the Kenmore Square side of Newbury Street, near the Brookline Ave bridge over the Pike. The building faces the back of Landsdowne Street's clubs. Not sure why the street view seems to place you right in the Pike itself!

I lived a couple blocks from there for four years as an MIT student, yet I did not realize that Newbury Street continued west beyond Charlesgate.

i've never heard of this!! so can people just to look around and get free zines?

The zines are going to be on sale from 30+ creators and distros (plenty of zines, though not for free - you are welcome to come and look around, however!). Many of the zinesters are often up for a trade, too, if you make a zine and want to swap with them.

You can also read loads of zines for free at the Papercut Zine Library in Harvard Square:
