This is the review I wrote on Good Reads for Dave Roche's new book If Nothing But the Sky

As a rule I am not a huge lover of travel books or zines. They often have too little personal observations and thought provoking thoughts and often become just a list of we met these people and then we went here and craziness ensued or we ate this and found this out of the way place aren't we amazing?

Dave Roche's modest book about his zine tour trips to Australia and Southeast…

Only 65 hours left for Reading Frenzy to raise enough money to reopen.  Please help this Portland institution that has supported zines for over 17 years.  Even a couple of dollars will help.Thank you!!

Come by this weekend and get one while they last. I only made a small amount, because wow, time consuming.

See the whole post on my blog…

Did you have a tweener heart breaking crush with some teen idol? What was the kookiest thing you did in the name of your crush? For possible zine. Can I do it in a month?

Feel free to pm the story to me if you want. Thanks!!

This is a good time to share with you this post I did in 2009 on my blog.

I am currently working on a zine right now, as most of you are, and this is something I wrote in the midlst of a zine making marathon:

what makes a zinester…

I always mean to write a bunch of zine reviews together and I never do, so I think I will do a series of mini zine reviews here.

The other night I read These Here are Crazy Times #2 by Sarah May.

Here is her We Make Zines profile, but there isn't too much on it. I think I got her zine from Ms Valerie…

Find out more about it at my Etsy shop.

She does rebel Girl and 50/50 zine?  I found an old letter from her and need a current address.  Got any contact info?

Thanks!  Krissy

Do you use old photographs, postcards or ephemera in your zines? Or maybe you're like me and just tend to collect them and are drawn to them.

If so, check out my shop The Cedar Chest. Free Shipping offer from now till Nov 6th!

Hey Folks,

You can create a special pdxzines postcard and have it on the wall as a show of support during the Portland Zine Symposium. So, even if you can't be there is person you can still represent.

The 5 dollars to participate helps fund the zine sympoiusm. You can find out more here.

Do you have a photo or can you draw a neat header like image that shows a zine work space? You know, paper, scissors, cut images and text, glue, etc...

I am thinking of using it for a We Make Zines redesign.  I would like the image to be a little vague in the content of the zine so can seem a general zine layout instead of looking very much like a certain zine. Make sense?

As for size, not sure exactly, but I'm guessing about 750 x 300. No need to include the name We…
