Portland, Oregon Zine happenings...
I just got back from a month long trip
to the UK and France! I attended the London Zine Symposium, went on a
mini UK zine tour, hung out with rad folks and then headed to France
for the 20th birthday party of La Fanzinotheque! You can
be sure that there will be a zine about my adventures! Check out
photos and what not from my trip here: http://alexwrekk.wordpress.com
Now I'm back in the country and gearing
up for Portland's Summer zine events! Maybe you are interested in
checking them out:
Friday June 12, 2009-7pm-10pm Stolen
Sharpie Revolution official release party and open mic!
Since 2002 Stolen Sharpie Revolution
has been the go to book about zines. Well, now it is back and better
than ever! Bring your zine to read and join me at the Independent
Publishing Resource Center (IPRC) for an evening of zine readings and
special Stolen Sharpie Revolution release party book pricing. Plus
cake!
Saturday June 13, 2009- 10am-7pm Square
Foot Zine Fest!
I'm hosting this mini zine fest at the
IPRC. The idea is that the table space is open to IPRC members for $5
but that catch is that each person only gets 1 foot of table space so
that everyone is equal! Admission to the Square Foot Zine Fest is
free. Sign up now! Table space is going quickly!

Our yearly tradition! The Portland Zine
Symposium is a 3 day zine fest and zine social full of workshops,
tabling and socializing! Admission is free to everyone. Table space
