Portland Fun Book 2008 CALL FOR ARTISTS/MUSICIANS

Last year’s book was a big step up for us. We were a little nervous about putting a
price tag on the Funbook last summer, but we kept the price low, gave the profits to
charity, and 2,000 of them sold in 5 weeks! So with #3 we’ve got to do even better!
This year we’re bringing more music (a 10″ record!1) and more art (11″ x 17″, yo!) and pushing to be all about Portland. Be it obvious or obscure, we want to create something that is extremely localized.

Be immortalized in black and white (with the potential for future colors)!!
Participate and earn your glory!!!
