APAK, Little Otsu, and a Pop-Up Shop at Reading Frenzy

By Laura Whipple | Published: August 4, 2011

A trio of wonderfully Portland things: APAK!, Little Otsu, and Reading Frenzy.

And lucky for all of us (residing here in PDX or passing through), the month of August will combine the three in a triumphant line-up of events.

Tonight, there will be an art show opening at Reading Frenzy featuring APAK and Martine Workman, both long-time collaborators with Little Otsu. And all month long, Reading Frenzy will be hosting a special Pop-Up Shop for Little Otsu. The shop will include all five issues of the ongoing Living Things Series (the fifth, just released, is by Apak!), along with a plethora of wonderful journals, diaries, art prints and cards all published by LO. It will be charming and lovely. You should go.

More about the Living Series after the break!

Reading Frenzy + Crap Hound #5

By Laura Whipple | Published: December 13, 2010

Reading Frenzy is not merely one of Portland’s beloved bookshops and art galleries, it is also an independent publisher. Chloe Eudaly launched Show and Tell Press in 2005 with the release of Crap Hound #5: Hearts, Hands and Eyes. Issues #4, #6 and #7 of Crap Hound followed, as well as a zine titled Alien Boy about James Chasse. Fast forward to December, 2010 (that’s today, friends), and Show and Tell Press is poised to release the third edition of Crap Hound #5. Thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign, the project has officially received the green light. We can expect to see the new edition roll off the presses in the very near future. Perhaps even before Christmas.

Editor’s update: You can pre-order Crap Hound #5 here!

Reading Frenzy

Portland's Independent Press Emporium

Much more than a simple dispensary of books, Reading Frenzy is a call to action. This modestly-sized storefront simultaneously functions as an art gallery, event space, literary watering hole, zine distribution point, indie publisher, friend to free speech, and an inspiration to many. Defying the odds, it has persevered for nearly sixteen years. No doubt this can be credited to a large degree to the intelligence and tenacity of its owner Chloe Eudaly. As the store kicked off its 500 friends of Reading Frenzy Kickstarter campaign this summer, I had the pleasure of learning more from Chloe about the past, present, and future of this Portland icon.

Read on! Get inspired! And please get involved! It just takes a few clicks to support an important cultural establishment and pillar of the independent publishing community.
