Talk about PZS!
Portland Zine Symposium organizers send many thanks to Dylan Williams of Sparkplug Comic Books for not only mentioning us in an interview with The Daily Cross Hatch, but also for voicing his support of the spirit of PZS.
Thanks to Alison Hallett of the Portland Mercury, who interviewed organizers Alex Wrekk and Christina "Blue" Crow over the phone and wrote up this little article about PZS.

Volunteer Call
Hey PZS friends!
As you probably know, the 8th Annual Portland Zine Symposium is fast approaching (it's August 23rd and 24th) and the PZS organizers are looking for a few good zinesters for help!
We have a variety of duties we'll be needing assistance with the upcoming weeks; some are as simple as grabbing a stack of posters from the IPRC and hanging them up at your favorite, people populated places, while other are more involved, like helping run the info table a couple of hours during PZS. Your involvement level is totally up to you and will be greatly appreciated! We'll even give you a PZS shirt!
Here's a list of possible duties we need volunteers for:
- Hanging PZS posters
- Calling around for food and other donations
- Picking up food and other donations
- Assistants in volunteer coordination
- Helping tablers set up at the beginning of each PZS day
- Working the information table at the entrance
- Helping workshop/panel leaders set up
- Helping workshop/panel leaders and attendees find their rooms
- Helping tablers clean up at the end of PZS
- Helping the main organizers with miscellaneous tasks during PZS
Please keep in mind, you don't have to live locally to help out during the Portland Zine Symposium. For some of these volunteer jobs, we may ask you to attend an orientation meeting or two a before PZS. Please email us at pdxzines@gmail.com or call Blue at 503-453-5839.
If you live in Portland and would like to become more seriously involved with the PZS as a main organizer, we could really use you. Send us an email to start attending weekly meetings to get more involved!
Thanks for reading and see you at Portland Zine Symposium!
