SUZY STUMP: WAYZGOOSE WAY TODAY >>>

Blogs? Whatever. Before everyone and his great aunt were clogging up fiber-optic networks with quiche recipes and sociopolitical minutiae, there were zines. But even though zines are tangible, handmade publications invested with character and soul, zinesters are sometimes as isolated as bloggers â€" which is why local letterpress printers, book artists and King’s Books have teamed up to present Wayzgoose, a celebration of printed word.

Various print-related activities will be held at the free event, giving tips on everything from watching letterpress printing in action to creating your own book. Of course, attendees should expect to walk out a few bucks lighter â€" and a few pounds of letterpress-printed wares heavier.

[King’s Books, Sunday, March 1, noon to 4 p.m., free, 218 St Helens Ave, Tacoma, 253.272. 8801]
