So I used to organize the Portland Zine Symposium, but I didn't this year or last year. But I went on Sunday, and checked out all the tables...
I really liked some other etsy sellers who I met there: Aijung Kim and SomaVenus. I also appreciated SteamPunk Magazine's Guide to Surviving the Apocalypse. It had a lot of practical suggestions on how to build a house out of old tires filled with gravel and so on. Which sounds like I'm making fun, but actually, I really want to make a planter out of a big pole with paint cans of soil hanging from it.
A fun thing about the Zine Symposium was that I traded my cards for a lot of zines, and almost everyone had seen my cards before--either on etsy, or at a friend's house taped to the fridge, or in a store, or at last year's Zine Symposium. I felt famous.
Coming soon: on Tuesday, October 13th, I will be leading a Gocco workshop at the IPRC. Sign up now!
