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!
The 8th Annual Portland Zine Symposium is quickly approaching!
This will be my first year going AND tabling at the zine symposium. I’m super happy and excited already!
I don’t even have 1 of the 3 zines I’m working on complete yet, but I’m working my ass off (not really) when I can find time. I don’t know why I even said that if it was a lie. Bah!
I’ll be tabling for the amateur Brite Street Press, as well as for the remains of Bako Zines. I’ll have some issues of Gutterflower and some of Unless Indicated… and possibly the Bako Zines Cookzine if that’s out in time. As for myself, I have a 1/4 page photo-zine in the works, along with a small personal zine and a 7″ DIY queer porn zine. I’m still taking submissions for that last one, so if you’ve got em… email stories or photos or drawings to britestreet@hotmail.com.
I hope to meet a lot of new folks at this event. I’ll have lots of vegan baked goods at my table as well.
This will be a blast!
