Preparing for the Portland Zine Symposium

All Things Ordinary table

This weekend is the 10th Annual Portland Zine Symposium and I couldn’t be any more excited!  Not only is this the first year I am an organizer (with 7 other amazing people), this will be my first tabling experience at a zine event.  As you can see in the photo, I have a good start for my table.  So far I have:

There are still a few things I need to do:

  1. I have about 40 more copies of All Things Ordinary #2 I need to fold and staple
  2. I need to print more copies of ATO #1 and 3
  3. I want to print descriptions for each issue
  4. All my zines are the same price so i’m going to make one pricing/trade sign

I also make block print postcards but I don’t think I’m going to bring any to the event because I don’t have a variety of colors yet, and I won’t have time to print anymore this week.  I also thought about getting a table cloth/fabric for my table but i’m not sure if i’ll have time to find one before the event.

Anything I’m forgetting? What do you normally bring to a comic/zine fest?

    this is the first time i’ve actually remembered to think about my table in advance! i always show up without anything but my zines and then i’m jealous of all the signs and table cloths and elaborate set ups.

    sooo, this time i remembered! i have a table cloth, a little embroidered sign, descriptions for each of my zines, and i need to make a price sign, since all my zines are also the same price. thanks for reminding me of that.

    i’m just selling zines though, nothing else.

    perhaps when you get to Portland you can help me find a cheap table cloth?
