General Update / TOMORROW: Top Secrets Release Party @ In Other Words / TODAY: Last Chance to Win

[Christina Crow]

Hey Undergroundians,

A big, hearty thanks to you all for being involved with Stumptown Underground. As we pass the two-year mark, I personally emailed many seeking feedback on their feelings about Stumptown Underground. If I missed you or don't know you well enough have asked, please know that Stumptown Underground ALWAYS wants to hear what our many contributors and readers has to say about our project. Email us anytime at stumptownu...@gmail.com to let us know your compliments, complaints, suggestions or whatever! We wouldn't be here without all of you and we strive to provide a consistent, creative outlet to serve our zine community. 

After going every month straight for the first year, then only releasing 8 issues the second year, the collective of organizers is going to be moving to a more bimonthly schedule. We hope this gives us a better chance to perfect our ambitious project, focus more on distributing nationally (which we have inadvertently accomplished a bit) and internationally, and have bigger events. 

Speaking of events, in case you haven't heard, the twentieth issue of Stumptown Underground is coming out tomorrow! Join us Friday, October 8th, for our "Top Secrets" Release Party @ In Other Words! Read more here: http://www.stumptownunderground.com/2011/10/top-secrets-release-party/

At the release party tomorrow, we will be giving away three gift certificates to (and donated by) Title Wave Used Book Store, $10 each, to the top three secrets submitted online to our short secrets contest. Today is your last day to submit! Read more here: http://www.stumptownunderground.com/2011/09/tell-su-your-short-secrets/

That's all for now, keep on keepin' on!

Sincerely,

Blue and the Stumptown Underground Editors/Organizers
