Hello!

Tis my first post since the commencement of the Portland Zine Symposium. I had such a great weekend!

I was stitching up the last of my zines and baking some cookies on Friday night, and I was calling everyone I knew just to let them know how excited I was to be finally going to a Portland Zine Symposium. I’ve read about this event for years now.

I met a lot of really great people, traded a lot of zines, won a raffle, and ate WAY TOO MUCH vegan sweets. I ran into the girls with Femeninite, and John Isaacson too, both of whom some friends and I received workshops from at the SF Zine Fest in 2007. My friend Riley was also there, and we traded zines!

Here are some pictures from the event:

I can’t wait to go and table again next year. Thanks for stopping by and picking up some zines from my table! If you live in Portland and want to collaborate on mail art or zines together, let me know!
