This weekend at the Spinning Plate Gallery in East Liberty, Unicorn Mountain presents "Tomb of the Spy Magicians."
 
OK, it sounds like a prog-rock show with lots of fog, robes and keyboards—but it's not.

It's a two-day event showcasing the city's comic art, small press publications and independent music, organized by Unicorn Mountain, a cross-disciplinary art collective, along with art-zine Encyclopedia Destructica.

"We're trying to marry the idea of an indie comics show with a small press convention with the beginnings of a Pittsburgh music festival, and our idea is to do it under one roof," says Curt Gettman of Unicorn Mountain. "As we grow we'd like to open it up to people out of town."

Thus, Unicorn Mountain and Encyclopedia Destructica join forces to host a two-day small-press and music expo. Featuring Poison Control, Incredibly Thin, Pitchfork Poetry Projects, Sunnyoutside, The New Yinzer, Enamel Records, Ambulantic, Copacetic Comics, Phantom of the Attic, and many more!

• Saturday, 10/21 (11 AM - 6 PM) - Artist and Small Press Vendor Tables - FREE!
• Saturday Night (7 PM - Midnight) - After-Party featuring Don Caballero, Zombi, The Apes, and Black Moth Super Rainbow - $5
• Sunday (noon - 5 PM) - Workshops by AIR, Encyclopedia Destuctica, and more. Music by Phil Boyd, Julie Sokolow, Pike, and more. - FREE!
