Join the quirky culture of small publishing magazines in this Underground Publisher’s Convention. Featured Saturday will be possibly the best example of this DIY art form: Cult of the Yellow Sign. The cult is based off H.P Lovecraft’s writings and members walk around Phoenix wearing black robes, physically and emotionally challenging audience members as they go. Also featured at Lawn Gnome throughout the weekend are a mail-art show and three evenings of music as part of the South by South Roosevelt music festival.
