Hey, wait, that’s not me! See more of my photos from PZS 2008 on Flickr

This last weekend was the eighth annual Portland Zine Symposium and it was as fun as it always is; two days of self-publishing love. The RCC had a table, of course, but I also got my own half table this year, which is what you see in the picture above, with table-neighbor, John, filling in as BT for the photo. I also took part in two extra events at this year’s PZS: On Saturday afternoon, a few of the RCCers and I held a panel discussion about being involved in a self-publishing collective. I was astonished at the high quality of questions we received throughout the talk, it really made the hour fly right by. And then on Sunday, I personally ran a workshop on jam comics. It took a while for people to filter into the workshop room, but we ended up with seven, four-panel comics when all was said and done.

Of course I got quite the haul of traded and purchased zines and comics over the course of the two days, but I haven’t really had the time to go through them all yet. I want to personally thank everyone involved in keeping the PZS going year after year, and making the PZS one of the most enjoyable shows to table at.

In other RCC news, we’ve updated our website a bit. Matthew Seely worked up this kick-ass new header graphic for us (which is being slightly redesigned for t-shirts and other merch), and we’ve also added a blog. We’ll use it to post group news, new comics we’ve released, sketches of what we’re currently working on, etc. With a nine member group, there should be fairly frequent updates, so please check out the site and then keep coming back to see more from the RCC!
