Portland Zine Symposium

This is where I’ll be this weekend, playing in the field of zines. I stumbled upon this collection of misfit self-publishers while surfing just days ago, and my loyal hubby immediately agreed to stop for two days on our way to the Oregon coast. I’ll be shilling my ode-to-summer zine, Tweet, and Jen’s get-inspiried Beginnings, along with a handful of other handmades. I’m also excited to to be interviewing zine mama Artnoose of KerBloom. (“Ain’t no press like letterpress!”) Anyone else in town who wants to have lunch at the symposium?

I wish I was going to be there — sounds like a swanky gig. Have a blast!

Bwah ha ha! Not swanky AT ALL! Totally grassroots — lots of zines hand drawn and zeroxed with darky cartoons. I doubt there will be cap codes…
