Portland 'Zine Symposium

So, just kicked ass at the Portland 'Zine Symposium. Helped run the Radical Parenting table there so of course it was fitting that we were (some of) the ones with booze. Sat next to Shannon Wheeler of Too Much Coffee Man, met Caroline of Northwest 'Zine Works out of Longview, Washington, hung out with Joe from Microcosm Publishing and created the first hardcopy Pirate Papa 'Zine! More links to follow over the next two weeks as I dig through these two boxes of stuff.

Oh, and check out Parcell Press, my online buddy Taylor's awesome 'Zine Distro company.

Anyone know this guy? Thanks for the random bit of entertainment Craigslist!

Hello fellow creatures! I just broke out of the looney bin up in Seattle, and I'm taking the bus down to Olympia in a day or two. From there I need a ride to Portland right away, before I'm tempted to slaughter any hippies. I knocked over a liquor store today, so I'll have plenty of gas money to share, as well as some fine polish vodka. I am accompanied by a large (800 lb), deaf, imaginary bear named Percy. I dont have a driver's license, but I watched a lot of Nascar while I was in the nut-house, so I think I could get the hang of it, if you need me to drive. Contact me telepathically with images of Eskimos (yes, they DO exist, it's not just a myth), or call me at (206) 568 - 7127. You can also email me at greatscottmarty@yahoo.com, just be sure to put Bob Sagat in the subject heading, to throw off the feds and/or aliens.

Looking forward to hearing from you. This is not a joke.
Jesse
