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 - which is why local letterpress printers, book artists and King's Books have teamed up to present Wayzgoose, a celebration of printed word, Sunday, April 25.
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 - and a few pounds of letterpress-printed wares heavier.
Seventeen groups will be in the house - including Springtide Press, Beautiful Angle, Guinea Pig Press, Anagram Press, C.L.A.W., and Notta Pixie Press.
And most importantly – How many chances do you have to see sweet pea, of King's Books, driving a steamroller? While those in pea's inner circle may witness such majesty on a regular basis, average folks aren't as lucky -one of the many reasons why the sixth annual Waygoose "letterpress and book art extravaganza" is so damn cool.
Sure, there are plenty of other reasons, like tons of hands on demonstrations from artists and printmakers, but we settle on sweet pea behind the wheel of a big-ass steamroller doing letterpress as reason enough to check it out. Seriously.
[King's Books, Sunday, April 25, 12-4 p.m., free, 218 St. Helens Ave., Tacoma, 253.272.8801]
