Surprise Birthday/Release Party for Stumptown Underground!

[Katie Ash]

Faithful friends, fans, and contributors, 

Stumptown Underground is one year old! Come celebrate with us tomorrow, September 26th, at Cosmic Monkey Comics on 5335 NE Sandy Blvd., where we will release our new birthday-themed issue, "Birthday Bash"! There will be cupcakes and party games with ziney prizes! The fun kicks off at 6pm and goes til 9pm. Check out all the details here: http://groups.google.com/group/stumptownunderground/web/birthday-bash-release-party-at-cosmic-monkey-comics

Stop by and say hello to us at Wordstock on October 9th and 10th! We'll be tabling there at the Oregon Convention Center at 777 NE MLK Jr. Blvd. from 10am-6pm each day. See our latest issues, catch up on back issues, and check out the zillions of other tablers, workshops, and book readings going on! Details are here: http://www.wordstockfestival.com/

Thanks to everyone who has submitted to the self-reflection/self-portraits issue! We are reviewing submissions and will be letting you know shortly. In the meantime, gear up for our 14th issue, which will be centralized around the theme of food! Submissions for the food issue are due on October 23rd, so you have a few weeks to get the creativity flowing! 

Stumptown Underground is a zine collective, publishing monthly issues that include pretty much anything you can put in a zine (writing, comics, illustrations, reviews, recipes, etc) and centralized around a different theme each month. Our purpose in doing this monthly zine is to give ourselves and the people who submit the opportunity to be inspired by monthly themes to create more, to get more of their creative work out in the world, and to build community. You can find more information online, as well as extensive previews of all issues.
