Newsletter for August

[Ms Valerie Park Distro]

Hello and welcome to August. I hope you all had as exciting and adventurous of a July as I did. It was great. But, goal for this month: hang out in
Olympia. I haven't been around that much and it's a bit of a shame since this is such a good place to be in the summer. So, other than
going to the Portland Zine Symposium (August 28th & 29th, see you
there?), I think I'm going to hold somewhat strong to this goal. Here at the distro, there are many goodnesses- music that spans the map-
from drone to bluegrass, jazz folk to 70's soul. We also restocked a
bunch of zines and got the new issue of Sugar and Heartstrings. I made a little list of things that are down to their last copy
and I'm unsure if they will be back again, so check that out- some good things that shall be missed. Hope you are all well. Until next month,
JJ/MVPD
